| Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936). Poetry: A Magazine of Verse. 1912–22. | | | | Grieve Not for Beauty | | By Witter Bynner |
| | | GRIEVE not for the invisible, transported brow | |
| On which like leaves the dark hair grew, | |
| Nor for the lips of laughter that are now | |
| Laughing inaudibly in sun and dew, | |
| Nor for those limbs that, fallen low | 5 |
| And seeming faint and slow, | |
| Shall yet pursue | |
| More ways of swiftness than the swallow dips | |
| Among .. and find more winds than ever blew | |
| The straining sails of unimpeded ships! | 10 |
| Mourn not!—yield only happy tears | |
| To deeper beauty than appears! | | | | |
