SONG OF A FACTORY GIRL It's hard to breathe in a tenement hall, As a lover runs from a crowded ball To the moonlit dark. I drank in clear air as one will Who is doomed to die, Wistfully watching from a hill The unmarred sky. And the great trees bowed in their gold and red Till my heart caught flame; And my soul, that I thought was crushed or dead, I hadn't called the name of God For a long time; But it stirred in me as the seed in sod, Or a broken rhyme. AN OLD TALE What shall we say of her, Who went the path we knew of? She is dead- Men who are very old Still speak of her. They say That she was far too beautiful; they say Her beauty wrought her ruin. But they Are very old. The old wives break their threads, they shake their heads. I must not think of her, I must Not speak of her! My mother says One should not think of her. She went the path we knew of; she is dead. They say few knew her truly while she lived, Though men will speak of her. It really does not matter she is dead One need not think of her. Although one night But she is dead-one must not think of her. BIBLIOGRAPHY The editors have endeavored to list below all the books of verse, or books about poetry, thus far printed by the poets quoted in this anthology; and then to refer the reader to certain magazines which have published these poets, and to some of the anthologies which have included the quoted poems. We have tried to credit especially those periodicals which make a specialty of this subject. Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, published monthly in Chicago since October, 1912, has been listed with some exactness, as an important organ of many of these poets. The effort has been to include in this bibliography all books published previous to Jan. 1st, 1923. An asterisk (*) indicates a book from which poems in this anthology have been borrowed. Alfred A.
