We remember not the summer
For it was long ago
We remember not the summer
In this whirling blinding snow
I will leave this frozen region
I will travel farther south
If you say one word against it
I will hit you in the mouth

I will leave this frozen region
I will travel farther south

Onderstaand gedichtje vind ik ook heel goed. Zelfs al was ze toen nog maar een puber, kan je in dit gedichtje zien dat ze heel gevoelig was voor de verfijning van de taal en dat ze heel spitsvondig met woorden kon omgaan:
The difference
My neighbor and I
Can never agree.
Kind reader be judge
Between her and me.
I go to the school,
Which she attends.
In which I have "chums"
And she has "friends".
She works "difficult problems",
While I do "hard sums".
She says it "continues"
while I say it "runs".

Dit vind ik ook een lief gedichtje, alleen weet ik niet of Laura deze zelf heeft bedacht of dat het een al bestaand versje was:
Elizabeth, Elisbeth, Betsy and Bess
went over the river to seek a birds nest.
They found one with tree eggs in.
They each took one and left two in!
Aan de hand van de voortvloeiende namen uit de naam Elizabeth, wat Laura's tweede naam was, haalde Manly zijn liefkoosnaampje voor Laura: Bessie!
