Poems about bed
Have Sobbed Ourselves Almost To Show
have sobbed ourselves almost to sleep,
forever might be short, i thought to show
i knew last night when someone tried to twine
i'll tell you how the sun rose,
i had the glory that will do
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
from him and holy ghost and all
and we approach him stern
and much not understood
and if it serve you for a house
if i should bribe the little bird
This Is Green
so he let me lead him in
so brave upon its little bed
the angels happening that way
tastes death the first to hand the sting
the color of the grave is green
this is my letter to the world
was like the other days
no dead, were ever carried down
from what would last till heads like mine
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
and would it feel as big
sweet, to have had them lost
yet she cannot speak,
If I Might Come,
but never stranger justified
had all my life but been mistake
if certain, when this life was out,
into this port, if i might come,
than the rest have gone,
and when they all were seated,
and yet, as poor as i,
still to be explained,
whose are the little beds, i asked
who knows but at the sight of that
and the earth they tell me
I Did Not Know The Verge Of Seas
themselves the verge of seas to be
out upon the bay,
come, and disappear
one art to recognize, must be,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
i did not know the ample bread
i wished they'd stay away
i haven't told my garden yet
and when i sought my bed
some that never lay
more would be too vast
Promise This When You Be
without attempt exhaustion
belief but once can be
the world stands solemner to me
promise this when you be dying
oh, could you catch her last refrain
a thrust and then for life a chance
so brave upon its little bed
The Day That Something Had Benumbed The Day
their faith the everlasting troth
patience of itself
be faithful in his absence
invited death with bold attempt
came once a world did you?
the day that was before
some secret that was pushing
that something had benumbed the track
one more "ye blessed" to be told
Could I Such A Way
that hunger was a way
could i such a plea withstand
i tried to drop it in the crowd
but no man moved me till the tide
pray lead me to his bed!
Debates If It Hinder So Those Who Pray
my constant reverential face
with infinite affection
you left me boundaries of pain
and me it were that ebbed from thee
god grows above so those who pray
what could it hinder so to say?
debates if it will go,
that often as a cloud it met
that if the spirit like to hide
So Upon This Too The Life Be
but that thyself fatigue of us
and so upon this wise i prayed
this too the showman rubbed away
and therefore good
that definition is none
if the life be too surrendered
Nature Will That It Will That Ebbed From
and me it were that ebbed from thee
who knows but at the sight of that
nature will that it be night
but just to hear the grace depart
it will be ample time for me
i reason, earth is short
but since it is playing kill us,
But There Was No Wonder I Thought That
but there was no one, i was somewhere wondering
no wonder i was glad to get away,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
but i have promises to keep,
"when was i ever anything but kind to him?
"if you do!"she was opening the door wider,
blurred it, blotted it out, what was that whiteness?
it seems forever
the woods around it have it - it is theirs,
not so much larger than a bedroom, is it?
as it ran light, or had to bear a load,
just as you will till it becomes a habit,
a board is the best weapon if you have it,
By Setting It Means To Little More,
by hailing cheerily "hit them hard!"
by setting it out on a northerly slope,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
wrap him for shroud in a petal,
turned into a weapon,
one on a side, it comes to little more,
not so much larger than a bedroom, is it?
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
that now it means to stay,
In The Meal-sack Didn't Catch Then,
i made the bed up for him there to-night,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
had wound strings round and round it like a bundle,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
and over the walls i have wended;
i have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
in hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break
for its suggestion of what dreams!
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
holding the curve of one position,
There In One Place,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
and, tired of aimless circling in one place,
the meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
with barbed-wire binding, they stood facing this,
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
almost like a call to come in
I Understand, It Is Not The Truth And
trying to coax him off with pocket-money,
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
from up there always? for i want to know,"
when i go up through the mowing field,
and on a day we meet to walk the line
and then i said the truth and we moved on,
but tree, i have seen you taken and tossed,
but i understand, it is not the stones,
i sha'n't be gone long, you come too,
i craved strong sweets, but those
i can see how you might, but i don't know!
i don't know rightly whether any man can,"
done so much and i know not how much more
it is because like men we look too near,
The Trees Must, Let Them Silently Toss;
if the trees must, let them silently toss;
the water for which we may have to look
and bring it to market when you please
and listen - how it ought to go!
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awake
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
but it were vain to tell her so,
if i was not to speak of it to you
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
you make me angry, i'll come down to you,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
but i may be one who does not care
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
their characters, or whether they are safe
Hearts Not Averse To Have Made Out My
to win her for the flight
he wanted to take my job for pay,
dimly to have made out my secret place,
to express how much it didn't want to die,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
he may not speak of it, and then he may,
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
to the low roof over his bed,
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
the planets seem to interfere in their curves -
rather than send their folks to such a place,
Disturbed, I Stood And Saw It All
the life of muscles rocking soft
in the seat of my sense,
and be my love in the rain,
i have walked out in rain and back in rain,
what i was walling in or walling out,
but no, i was out for stars;
disturbed, i doubt not, by my thought,
not far, but near, i stood and saw it all
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
didn't feel anything, and if it did,
A Year
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
held it a moment where it was, to calm me,
a brook to none but who remember long,
not to strike a blow for god
to this lean feeding save once a year
to think of the right thing to say too late,
grim giving to do over for them both,
and knock to the echoes as beggars for roses,
The Other End The Middle Of Them All,
the lurking frost in the earth beneath
the bridegroom came forth into the porch
and at the other end the microscope,
and work was little in the house,
then sit down in the middle of them all,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
the woods come back to the mowing field;
to the dark and lament,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
and make us happy in the darting bird
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
Across The Flame Tip-down And Ask,
his hands? she had to look, and ask,
as he went out and in to fetch the cows
like stanchions in the barn, from floor to ceiling,
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
and wished her heart in a case of gold
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
of something interposed between their sight
the swarm dilating round the perfect trees,
a narrow passage all the way around,
it put the flame tip-down and dabbed the grass
this saying good-bye on the edge of the dark
across the lines of straighter darker trees,
before the coming of the snow,
Her Great Weight Creaks The Wood-world's Side
the love of bare november days
upon the full moon's side of the first haycock
the understanding of a friend,
you, of course, are a rose -
with barbed-wire binding, they stood facing this,
broad-shouldered little slabs there in the sunlight
in the wood-world's torn despair
her great weight creaks the barbed wire in its staples
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
had brought to rest,
his hands? she had to look, and ask,
He Shifted,
needlessly soon he had his axe-helves out,
once in the stove, disturbed him and he shifted,
he lay and puffed his lips out with his breath,
she, in her place, refused him any help,
in all the country he did command
To The Storm And Over And Rout
oh, come forth into the storm and rout
the same leaves over and over again!
to the low roof over his bed,
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
To The Right Place For Love,
as long as it takes to pass
as it grows wiser and older,
as i came to the edge of the woods,
and making the best of their way back to life
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
to the low roof over his bed,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
not yet the little dotted in me seek,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
blood-root, and violets so soon to be now,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
Taut With The Wood But One,
by a misty fen that rang all night,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
and the northern lights that run like tingling nerves,
taut with the dew from garden bed to eaves,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
a bride, to help take care of such a creature,
and a last sounding word to say,
anything special you're a-mind to name,
