Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936).  Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.  1912–22.
 
The Recluse
By Maria Elmendorf Lillie
 
AS evening creeps within the sheltered glade,
Trees turn to emerald, water to jade;
And on a branch a milk-white heron sits,
With drooping wings, silent and unafraid:
Like a great truth, within the gathering night,        5
Whose faint reflection streaks the depths with light.
