Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1921/Altitude

ALTITUDE
I wonder
How it would be here with you,
Where the wind
That has shaken off its dust in low valleys
Touches one cleanly
As with a new-washed hand,
And pain
Is as the remote hunger of droning things,
And anger
But a little silence
Sinking into the great silence.
