The Wonder of ItHarriet Monroe
From “Poems of Travel”
H
That the insensate rock dared dream of me,
And take to bursting out and burgeoning—
Oh long ago—yo ho!—
And wearing green! How stark and strange a thing
That life should be!
That dust should rise, and leap alive, and flee
A-foot, a-wing, and shake the deeps with cries—
Oh far away—yo-hay!
What moony masque, what arrogant disguise
That life should be!
