This author wrote a libretto based on the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for Deems Taylor's opera The King's Henchman. A "wind with a wolf's head" howls around the door of the central figures, who "were happy / for half an hour's time" while rocking in a chair together, in a poem that won this author a Pulitzer. The sight of a starving man in Capri prompts a passage abouthow the "awful weight" of "Infinity/Pressed down upon the finite Me!" in a poem by this author that controversially lost a contest in The Lyric Year to Orrick Johns. She wrote of how God "in one big torrent, set me free, washing my grave away from me!" in a poem that opens "All  I could see from where I stood/Was three long mountains and a wood". For 10 points, name this poet of "The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver" and "Renascence" who claimed "my candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night" in the first poem from her A Few Figs from Thistles.
