At The Grand Cañon

by Harriet Monroe

Harriet Monroe

Wind of the desert, softly blow
Across the cañon shining wide.
Lightly among the temples go
That rise in towers of pride.
Soft, lest they float away
Out in the azure day!

    The Lights Of New York
    by Sara Teasdale
    The lightning spun your garment for the night Of silver filaments with fire shot thru, A broidery of lamps that lit for you The steadfast splendor of enduring light.
