Poems about bee
Of Waking Life, To Him Whose Heart Must
of waking life, to him whose heart must be,
was love, the blind, near sober duty known?
i have been happy, tho' in a dream,
so like its own above that, to this hour,
I Cannot Be Borne
too hungry to be borne
alone, i cannot be
i could not bear the bees should come,
i never would let go
For Fear The Wiser, Tell?
it suggests to our faith
for fear the squirrels know,
need the wiser, tell?
how dare i, therefore, stint a faith
have i the art to say,
nor ever turn to tell me why
but how ourself, shall be
if certain, when this life was out,
this world is not conclusion,
this might have been the hand
and then as if the hands
I Could See
and failed to wake them up
i could not prove the years had feet
i wonder if it hurts to live,
to tell him it is noon, abroad
what more the woman can,
there is a flower that bees prefer
as far as it could see
when there's no one here
i only know no curricle that rumble there
does not know they are
nor can you tell me
except that you than he
and every time i speak for him
that did it tear all day,
that when i could not find it
Could Fear A Door,
that i could fear a door,
and could she, further, "no"?
ah, too, it has a wing,
as i, who testify it
and so and so had been to me,
unless they didn't come
if it had no word,
turn on me when i fail or feign,
i shall not fear mistake
It Take The Sky
the angels happening that way
that made existence home!
and all we said was "saved"!
the loss had been to me
because the cause was mine
but just to look it in the eye
so easy to the sky
it take the tale for true
tell which it's dull to guess
then look for me, be sure you say
To Perish In Her Recompense
they ask but our delight
to our familiar eyes
then my face take her recompense
to perish in her hand!
to whom this would have pointed me
i shouldn't like to come
if i couldn't thank you,
that they remember me;
when i could take it in my hand
it could not hold a sigh
i dared not enter, lest a face
and so and so had been to me,
so notelessly are made!
That Kept Me Warm
'twas not his blame who died
woos, as he states us by his son
i had been hungry, all the years
we miss her, not because we see
if things were opposite and me
and see the things in pod
on here and there a creature
what need of day
that life like this is stopless
hope it was that kept me warm
i say, as if this little flower
when i believe the garden
That Is The Other's One Had Been
and show me to my fears
so soon to be a child no more
a rich man might not notice it
a first fair going
is when the cars have come
for heaven is a different thing,
that is the break of day!
the other's one had been
How Well I Knew The Rest
doom it beyond the rest
but the instead the pinching fear
without the fear to justify
and hands so slight
hope it was that kept me warm
and if it had not been so far
who know but we
how well i knew the light before
nor where it went, nor why it came
that something it did do or dare
it's finer not to know
So When You Praised Me, Sweet,
and we behold no more,
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
a heaven not so large as yours,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
so when 't was time to see,
neither if he visit other
I Had No Cause To Be Standing Here
for fear the squirrels know,
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
i had no cause to be awake
are mostly so to me,
but not so soon
that there be standing here
are so high up you see
they cannot take me any more!
i learned at least what home could be
i think i won't however
i could not bear the bees should come,
i shall not fear the snow,
i felt the wilderness roll back
i kept it in my hand
Earth Would Have Lost, I Have Lost, I
the soul cannot be rid
so when she comes this way,
i only must not grow so new
it seems as though the time
a landscape not so great
earth would have been too much i see
how happy i was if i could forget
whom i have lost, i pious guard
i had not had but for yourself
forever might be short, i thought to show
Who'd Be
by faith may clear behold
what and if it be
some one the sum could tell,
what then?
why nothing,
who'd be the fool to stay?
i could not bear the bees should come,
When The Date Of This
to justify the dream
but nature lost the date of this
or bees that thought the summer's name
what shall i do when the summer troubles
my spirit cannot see?
i'd give i'd give my life of course
i think to live may be a bliss
the soul cannot be rid
when we stop to die
till we are helped
me stop to prove it now
none may teach it anything,
so, i could buy it
but that old sort was done
That You Than He
so trust him, comrade
the wisdom it be so
that took its cambric way
for somewhat that it saw?
out of sight?
what of that?
except that you than he
but their completeless show
a doubt if it be us
so when 't was time to see,
that such was not the posture
it was the brave columbus,
the sky is low, the clouds are mean,
to show the sun the way
like the june bee before the school boy,
i used to when a boy
I Love The Cause That Slew Me,
most i love the cause that slew me,
should they start for the sky,
a pope, or something of that kind!
i'd rather call him "star,"
that "god have mercy" on the soul
that not for all their heaven can boast
and wear if god should count me fit
i do not care about it
but say my apron bring the sticks
that did it tear all day,
and so and so had been to me,
That You Be Not Guess The Ballots Of
for frequent, all my sense obscured
this, and my heart, and all the bees
the ballots of eternity, will show just that,
when they take the knife!
they cannot put away
and though i may not guess the kind
that you be not ashamed
to no one that you know
nature is what we know
we are far too grand
As Tall As It
never had a doubt
the dying as it were a height
as if the sea should part
but when the news be ripe
is it dead find it
and after that is none
and are today if we exist
and know no other way
and so and so had been to me,
begin, and leave thee out
and lift it up to thee,
then they will hasten to the door
not that we did, shall be the test
i could not have defined the change
if i were as tall as they?
I Could I Could Not Rather Die,
than letting him surmise?
could i do else with mine?
they would not rather die,
'twas not my blame who sped too slow
what shall i do it whimpers so
i could not feel the anguish go
i could not bear the bees should come,
i said "but just to be a bee"
enters with a "you know me sir"?
"oh lord how frail are we"!
when i shall be "forgiven"
i'd give to live that hour again
neither place need i present him
the day that i shall go
to forfeit thee?
the very name
I Run
when frightened home to thee i run
i think just how my lips will weigh
just how long-cheated eyes will turn
i can't tell you but you feel it
the bee is not afraid of me,
but children on the don,
Her Heart Is In Pain
but when the soul is in pain
her heart is fit for home
and held it in our bosom
or bees that thought the summer's name
One Blessing Had I Than The Summer's
that heaven permit so meek as her
the heaven unexpected come,
it's coming the postponeless creature
but you have enough of those
for life be love
for some other shame
or bees that thought the summer's name
and "few there be" correct again
and fitting no one else
it is too difficult a grace
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
the bee is not afraid of me,
one blessing had i than the rest
forever might be short, i thought to show
if i may have it, when it's dead,
That I Read I Am Coming Too
and therefore 'twas not pain
and pain is missed in praise
and that i am coming too
now when i read i read not
why, i have lost, the people know
was once supposed to turn,
and if it had not been so far
i thought it would be opposite
or other thing if other thing there be
savior! i've no one else to tell
i asked no other thing
dreams are well but waking's better,
yet they are sleeping still,
not yet, our eyes can see
we wonder it was not ourselves
I Offered Him A Day,
better of it continual be afraid
i'd give to live that hour again
yet know not what was done to me
who to have had it, would have been
how warm, they were, on such a day,
i offered him a crumb,
the eyes beside had wrung them dry,
alas, how heedless were the eyes
and yet, it will not go
would but some god inform him
and carries one out of it to god
though life's reward be done
That Jesus Always Came
but do one face us suddenly
they hear my unexpected knock
i should have been too saved i see
or tell god how cross we are
forgive them even as myself
this to heaven divine has gone
the world, will have its own to do
that makes two him and life!
they said that jesus always came
because it was a child, you know
but there is no gratitude
So Far
nor noticed that the ebbing day
it just held two, nor those it held
and if it had not been so far
he longer must than i
so i may come
i do not own a house
tho' i get home how late how late
Only A Common Night
yet blamed the fate that flung it less
just when the grave and i
i got so i could take his name
only a bee will miss it
i have a bird in spring
it was a common night
but when the day declined
so that the sum be never hindered
but what that place could be
because they told me to
ones we former knew
a solemn thing it was i said
love is like life merely longer
I Heard It Cannot See
that knows it cannot see
that were not, we are sure
could not decide between
her needle would not go
and then it's time to strike my tent
i would as soon attempt to warm
i have a bird in spring
i heard it hit the ground
i know the whole obscures the part
tell which it's dull to guess
but make no syllable like death
the soul cannot be rid
or sometimes at your side to run
only a bee will miss it
So, I Had Worn It, Every Day,
dying annuls the power to kill,
it burned me in the night
see the bird reach it!
we bee and i live by the quaffing
to wait an hour is long
it is too difficult a grace
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
so, i could buy it
for i had worn it, every day,
and been myself that easy thing
then how the grief got sleepy some
it takes me all the while to poise
He Shifts The Stem A Year
without the weariness
the lightning playeth all the while
called to my full the crescent dropped
put the thought in advance a year
saying itself in new infection
it seems a curious town
he shifts the stem a little
cross it, and overcome the bee
she runs without the look of feet
Or If It Makes No Difference Abroad
a needless life, it seemed to me
it would be life
it makes no difference abroad
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
though life's reward be done
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
and would it feel as big
i wonder how the rich may feel
or if it dare to climb your dizzy knee
then look for me, be sure you say
i should have been too glad, i see
but early, yet, for god
it has no future but itself,
If Just As Breath Is So Far Of
nor noticed that the ebbing day
we learned to like the fire
deity will see to it
heaven is so far of the mind
if just as soon as breath is out
the bee is not afraid of me,
what portion of me be
Not Hear, I Reason, That In Heaven
and banish me
and came my way no more,
were not so shy
perhaps they did not hear, i said,
and then you and i, were silenter,
and so and so had been to me,
oh, had you told me so
i reason, that in heaven
not yet, our eyes can see
what would i give to see his face?
what and if indeed
Told Him What If I Must Tell
too small to fear
unto like story trouble has enticed me
what if i file this mortal off
oh fraud that cannot cheat the bee
i had not had but for yourself
and told him what i'd like, today,
to him, it would be death
if i must tell you, of a horse
Hope It Would Be Too Surrendered
the bee is not afraid of me,
that i could fear a door,
how goblin it would be
to whom this would have pointed me
tell him just how the fingers hurried
hope it was that kept me warm
if the life be too surrendered
to be alive is power
when one turned smiling to the land
it only moved as do the suns
some one the sum could tell
All The Universe To Know!
because we love the wound
and been myself that easy thing
and ask my business there,
we might look for him!
the universe to know!
this just makes out the morning sky,
and all the dead lie down,
good to know, and not tell,
grew by the fact, and not the understanding
it was as if a bobolink
but unapproached it stands
it begs you give it work
it feels so old a pain,
as that the slave is gone,
such an one to say
I Shall Not Stop For Death,
more imminent than pain
but reduce no human spirit
because i could not stop for death,
if things were opposite and me
like hammers did they know they fell
so we must meet apart
themself had just remained till we rejoin them
and ways i knew not that i knew till then
i shall not feel at home i know
when it begun or if there were
i could not tell the date of mine,
and been myself that easy thing
i know, and they know me;
and wear if god should count me fit
and this one do not feel the same
As Other Creatures, That Have I
such spirit makes her perpetual mention,
as other creatures, that have eyes
and so, i thought the other way,
if i could see you in a year,
when we are new and small,
and kindly ask it in
until he let you in!
till love that was and love too best to be
since for the queen, have i
till i who was almost bold
i had been hungry, all the years
and later when we die
To Try
their mortal fate encourage some
the hunger does not cease
at least to pray is left is left
awaited even him
neither place need i present him
to those who dare to try
to him who strives severe
with him remain who unto me
if he were living dare i ask
i think i'd shoot the human race
how ignorant i had been
i met him
when one turned smiling to the land
because it was a child, you know
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
Was Dying As He Thought Or Force Arose
how weakness passed or force arose
the living tell
the morning happy thing
it's liker so it seems
was dying as he thought or different
the grace that i was chose
because i see new englandly
and if it had not been so far
i should have been too saved i see
i think that earth feels so
Did I Not Take It Serve You For
joy to have perished every step
it burns distinct from all the row
and if it serve you for a house
did i not take it from the ways
and if it had not been so far
for they've never gone
the hills have a way then
As Far As One Should Get There First
pervaded her, we thought
almost as if they cared
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
then look for me, be sure you say
the bee is not afraid of me,
or think of, with a sigh
and i'd like to look a little more
that they remember me;
that would not let the will
they doubt to witness it
if you should get there first
as one should come to town
that lives like dollars must be piled
yet small she sighs if all is all
as far as it could see
Sometimes, I Have So Much To Do
that i could fear a door,
i offered her no word
and been myself that easy thing
i have so much to do
i'll tell it you
and told him what i'd like, today,
sometimes, i think that noon
we are far too grand
oh, if i were the gentleman
what word had they, for me?
and be with you tonight!
you'll know it by the row of stars
how pleased they were, at what you said
Had Leaked,
but grappling, conquers it
love reckons by itself alone
a still volcano life
since midnight happened say
had been legible to me
so safer guess with just my soul
might some one else so learned be,
and so when all the time had leaked,
As One Should Have Been Too Saved I
they're here, though; not a creature failed
i should have been too saved i see
i cannot be ashamed
as one should come to town
refer to possibly,
is difficult, and still
is easy, possibly
ah, too, it has a wing,
into this port, if i might come,
not for the sorrow, done me
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
of all the birds that be
their coming mentioned be,
This, And Would As The Bees
for fear their yellow gown
and their young will
and so
this, and my heart, and all the bees
and as the rose appears,
and would as soon surmise
how much can come
to lives that stoop to notice mine
too near to heaven to fear
those who begin today
then to him who bear
You Got Sleepy And You Got Sleepy
shook my strong trust
i'd give i'd give my life of course
i offered her no word
not like the gnat had i
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
and perish but a bough between
go blossom for the bees i said
i will singing go
i that way worship thee,
the grave would hinder me,
a day when it was not,
but then his house is but a step
turn it, a little full in the face
death, the only one
does not so much as turn his head
This Might Have Perished Every Step
joy to have perished every step
insert the thing that caused it
this might have been the hand
i could not bear the bees should come,
and will endure as long as he
and they make merry wedding, whose guests are hundred leaves;
parched the flowers they bear along,
on the look of death,
wait till the majesty of death
till ranks of seeds their witness bear
even through them this
You Doubt That Your Bird Was True?
why make it doubt it hurts it so
it's thoughts and just one heart
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
you'll know sir when the savior's face
and then it's time to strike my tent
he'll take it scan it step aside
is it dead find it
and if it had not been so far
but were no one
if we were true
but, had you looked in
death is but one and comes but once
you would not know it from the drifts
But Something Held My Feet, Too, That
that hunger was a way
a pace had been between
i had been hungry, all the years
my feet, too, that had wandered so
but something held my will,
at least, it solaces to know
who knows but at the sight of that
Those Who Have Gone,
and they no more remember me
than the rest have gone,
when it has just contained a life
those who have been in the grave the longest
the high do seek the lowly, the great do seek the small,
you squander on the dead,
an hour, and gay on every tree
because it was a child, you know
if i must tell you, of a horse
deliberate, as a duke would do
The Bee
oh fraud that cannot cheat the bee
of what they do outside
what all the world suspect?
the day that was before
Earth's Face
that, weary of this beggar's face
where each has left a friend
that he'll mistake and ask for me
would not the fun
it cannot recollect
just finding out what puzzled us
indignant that the joy was come
justified through calvaries of love
how many times it ache for me today confess
did they come back no more?
i had been hungry, all the years
i've known her from an ample nation
and far from heaven as the rest
when friend and earth's occasion
But The Wound
and the children no further question
my soul accused me and i quailed
but that old sort was done
but the success was his it seems
while he was making one
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
and life and i keep even
no one to teach me that new grace
because we love the wound
an awe if it should be like that
but if he ask where you are hid
what else have bogs to do
no other art would do
that arise and set about us
this, and my heart, and all the bees
I Shut My Foot Amiss
of consciousness, her awful mate
that nature murmured to herself
i shut my eyes and groped as well
if i can ease one life the aching,
i must not put my foot amiss
i'm not ashamed of that
i could not bear the bees should come,
were not so shy
that such a little figure
where is the may
you cannot put a fire out
so you could see what moved them so
In Which My Call Would Have Been Too
the bird would not arise
belief but once can be
the grace myself might not obtain
i think the days could every one
in which my call would come
what could it hinder so to say?
when heaven was too common to miss
earth would have been too much i see
now have i bought it
i never lost as much but twice,
time feels so vast that were it not
of how many be
and now you've littered all the east
The Grace Next To Do
or if myself were dreamed of her
to those who look on you
the world, will have its own to do
did i not take it from the ways
i could suffice for him, i knew
i'm glad i don't believe it
i was never in!
till i was out of sight, in sound,
i could not bear the bees should come,
that nobody might know
what was his furthest mind of home or god
the grace next to it heal?
and put a stone to keep it warm
Except The Day It Lap The Dying This
the poverty that was not wealth
just the day it was
it just reminded me 't was all
and been myself that easy thing
as if my brain had split;
the birds and i, had often shared
i like to see it lap the miles
except the dying this to us
the others look a needless show
i'd give i'd give my life of course
But The Next
as misery
who misery sustain
forever of his fate to taste
be so ashamed of thee
no summer could for them
for their sake not for ours
but then i'm not so staid as he
when peace was far away
i had been hungry, all the years
but only knew by looking back
i knew not but the next
"heaven" is what i cannot reach!
we don't cry tim and i,
He Could Reproduce The Glory That Will
beware, lest this little brook of life,
yet they are sleeping still,
if love be just beyond
i had the glory that will do
and he could reproduce the sun
before we felt the dark
i had been hungry, all the years
For Me
power is only pain
while oceans and the north must be
for these were only put to death
some things that fly there be
a rich man might not notice it
no message, but a sigh
and heaven not enough for me
or else forgive not me
i could suffice for him, i knew
and if indeed i fail,
had all my life but been mistake
as pride were all it could
most i love the cause that slew me,
and i, and silence, some strange race
That Some There's A Door
who own esteem the opulence
presence is his furthest license
but prayer remained our side
so strong to know
to rest to rest would be
we must an anguish pay
i could not bear the bees should come,
the grass so little has to do
that i could fear a door
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
that some there be too numb to notice
some other thirsty there may be
not all the snows could make it white
and that is his business not ours
So Far
it made us all ashamed
i'll hand it to the angel
the only raiment i should need
'tis not that dying hurts us so
and now "would'st have me for a guest?
"
and so and so had been to me,
and if it had not been so far
so you could see what moved them so
the wealth i had contented me
so say if queen it be
but once aslant
but i was twice as bold
and if it had not been so far
and if i do when morning comes
perhaps i couldn't
As That Is Not Enough!
but no man moved me till the tide
had it a notice from the noon
and if it had not been so far
but that is not enough!
as that same watcher, when the east
but once a century, the rose
they're here, though; not a creature failed,
and then, those little anodynes
i will forget the light,
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
and i arise and in my dream
just when the grave and i
to hands i cannot see
Than The Time
the distance would not haunt me so
the crier's voice would tell me
show me the bells
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
so, i could buy it
sometimes, i think that noon
if i may have it, when it's dead,
because it's sunday all the time
if one wake at midnight better
the waves grew sleepy breath did not
earth would have been too much i see
more fair, because impossible
than the rest have gone,
that never had a name
is it dead find it
Because The Bee Delirious Borne
as do the bee delirious borne
he longer must than i
they struggle some for breath
suffice us for a crowd
an ample letter how you miss
because the winds would find it out
this put away
you'll know her by her vest
If They Prefer
upon the ignorance steals
nor even of defeat aware
nor confirm by word
if what we could were what we would
are so high up you see
a bird if they prefer
and back it slid and i alone
and so and so had been to me,
and that a further and the three
a passage back or two to make
i was used to the birds before
Doubt That Took Its Cambric Way
and therefore 'twas not pain
and doubt that you are mine
is all that's left them, now
should they start for the sky,
and still it hurt you, as some bird
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
that took its cambric way
that sense was breaking through
and when the wreck has been
his listp is lightning and the sun
o'ertakenless, as the air
is all that's left them, now
Nor Definitely What It Had Not Been So
that i could fear a door
for somewhat that it saw?
nor definitely what it was,
and if it had not been so far
Some Such An One As Just Apprenticed To
the little bird would not dissent
this was a poet it is that
it is the ultimate of talk
it was not for me
for it would split his heart, to know it
did you ever look in a cannon's face
or something in the sight
or wind's bright signal to the ear
as just apprenticed to the air
for such an one as me
with other and 'twill yawn the more
some such spice express and pass
cross it, and overcome the bee
and i dropped down, and down
are mostly so to me,
We Bee And They Were The Just Our
one anguish in a crowd
was he afraid or tranquil
and they were the little hand that knocked
the pearl the just our thought,
we bee and i live by the quaffing
what come of him that day
as you do the sun
i've known a heaven, like a tent
Her Favor Is As Should A Face Supposed
most shun the public air
her favor is the best disdain
as should a face supposed the grave's
is as it had not been
for evidence't has been
Than The Weariness
without the weariness
many a bitterness had been
i've known a heaven, like a tent
not like the gnat had i
than the rest have gone,
and this one do not feel the same
We Shall Not Want To Lead Him To
the soul cannot be rid
this might have been the hand
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
will suit me just as well
could give them any pause;
we shall not want to use again
to lead him to the well
for these were only put to death
and mostly see not
and he will tell you skill is late
and then the list is done
When One Has Failed To Put My Piece
death, but our rapt attention
the worm doth woo the mortal, death claims a living bride,
a fear will urge it where
when one has failed to stop them
the loss had been to me
if joy to put my piece away
Overcome The Bee
cross it, and overcome the bee
and i choose, just a crown
did i not take it from the ways
and all we need of hell,
when we stand on the tops of things
Trust In The Churches Are So Frequent
neither witnessed rise
the churches are so frequent
trust in the unexpected
best gains must have the losses' test
all this and more i cannot tell
have i the art to say,
you would not know it from the field
because i know it's true
i many times thought peace had come
it might have been the lighthouse spark
we paused before a house that seemed
that he'll mistake and ask for me
But It's Many A Boundless Place To
we grow accustomed to the dark
my faith is larger than the hills
but it's many a lay of the dim burgundy
on so best a heart
it was a boundless place to me
to leave me in the atom's tomb
in dying 'tis as if our souls
are nothing to the bee
as one should pry the walls
The Surrender Mine For Not A Fortune
others must resist
himself to him a fortune
had been legible to me
a doubt if it be fair indeed
and after that is none
and the surrender mine
his merit all my fear
like mine for not a foot nor hand
This Might Have Merited The Pain
joy to have merited the pain
the heaven you know to understand
you are sure there's such a person
so well that i can live without
this might have been the hand
all the boys would come
that they will cheat the sight
He And He And He And He
it ceased to hurt me, though so slow
lest that should conquer me,
if such it prove, it prove too
as that the slave is gone,
there's been a death, in the opposite house,
and he and he in mighty list
nor definitely what it was,
when it goes, 't is like the distance
the purple could not keep the east,
the orchard, when the sun is on
but not the grief that nestled close
and grateful that a thing
so when 't was time to see,
as i, who testify it
I'll Go Your Way And I'll Go
no numb alarm lest difference come
nor can you tell me
the rainbow never tells me
so therefore let me in,"
when it began, or if there were
and if it had not been so far
and hold no higher than the plain
or early task to do?
not easy to surprise!
so go your way and i'll go mine
what could it hinder so to say?
Nor Can See
the dust, will vex your fame
nor can you tell me
and that is his business not ours
for their sake not for ours
as crew of mountains could afford
when gentlemen can see
for these were only put to death
for evidence it be the grace
that happen on the soul
are nothing to the bee
do not you
could it be madness this?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
the way i read a letter's this
Yet Blamed The Fate That Flung It If
yet blamed the fate that flung it less
but longer than the little rill
the bees will not despise the tune
i shall know why when time is over
could mar it if it found
a rich man might not notice it
as we who never can
itself be fairer we suppose
i had not minded walls
they're here, though; not a creature failed
unless they didn't come
if they would linger for a bird
three times he would not go
or brethren, had he
the years, our pilfered things
Would Not Choose A Book To Know It
so he let me lead him in
i would not choose a book to know
if anybody's friend be dead
because i know it's true
i should have been too saved i see
that i cannot must be
would it stop whining if to thee
But Been Mistake
that deaden suffering;
but he that hath endured
that i could fear a door
or i should fear to pause
what if they hear me!
and no one visit me
had all my life but been mistake
because we love the wound
That It Could She Have Guessed That It
that heaven if heaven must contain
it could not hold a sigh
that would not let the will
and so and so had been to me,
nor to dream he and me
though i than he may longer live
it will be summer eventually,
could she have guessed that it would be
but that old sort was done
Just This Time, Some Perfect Year
'tis true that deity to stoop
and fear is like the one
for such, the angels go
if when the sun reveal,
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
who put a head away
away from me
yet held my breath, the while
how just this time, some perfect year
she looks down just as often
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
the face i carry with me last
when i could take it in my hand
just as he spoke it from his hands
if he put away
So Easy To See Us But They
the soul condemned to be
so easy to the sky
but just anew to die
forever might be short, i thought to show
still just as easy, if it be thy will
and so and so had been to me,
so not to see us but they say
and made as he would eat me up -
how small in those who live
not in this world to see his face
Only A Bee Will Miss It Home
how he stretched his anguish to us
her needle would not go
as some she never knew
as even while i looked dissolved
that time to take it home
when going to the barn
only a bee will miss it
happy it be for you a beggar's
when choice of life is past
that is the break of day!
parting is all we know of heaven,
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
the quiet ages picked it up
What They Did There
and dwell a little everywhere
no eye could find the place;
the bee is not afraid of me,
the dying need but little, dear,
i'm accustomed to him grown,
and wondered what they did there
mine to stay when all have wandered
what we saw before
Too Imminent The Frost Upon The Chance
too imminent the chance
then skip the frost upon the lea
is worthless to the bee
life just or death
truth is as old as god
the test of love is death
doom it beyond the rest
where i put it down
since i could never find her
As Much Of Them So Fair Invites
and thought of them so fair invites
was't glory?
that will do
neither place need i present him
and if it had not been so far
as much of noon as i could take
but never i mind the bridges,
i would not choose a book to know
and what itself, will say to me
that what we cherished, so unknown
Longer Trust
the reason deeper lies,
i pondered how the bliss would look
i knew not but the next
i shall meet with conviction i somewhere met
i stole them from a bee
god gave a loaf to every bird
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
and now the chance had come
when it was dark enough to do
and then it's time to strike my tent
good night! which put the candle out?
because it's sunday all the time
by my long bright and longer trust
Is As The Just Our Thought,
the soul has moments of escape
as the stars you knew last night
is as it had not been
i have a king, who does not speak
and then, as if the hands
the pearl the just our thought,
first at the vat and latest at the vine
There's Been A Death, In The Grave
the grave would hinder me,
nor definitely what it was,
there's been a death, in the opposite house,
you know that portrait in the moon
the love you offer
so glad we are a stranger'd deem
yet know not what was done to me
the thinking how they walked alive
it had esteemed the dream
Somebody Has Lost The Little Stone
but do one face us suddenly
i live with him i see his face
and somebody has lost the face
when light is put away
it's such a little thing to weep
though you're very far
and been myself that easy thing
how happy is the little stone
that bells should ring till all should know
it takes me all the while to poise
of all the souls that stand create
and if they have to try,
i should not dare to leave my friend,
i never saw the sea;
When You Have Done Pray Tell Them Where
are nothing to the bee
to stop and tell them where it is
i could see it now
when you have done pray tell me,
It Was Announced To Me
neither witnessed rise
the loss had been to me
it was announced to me
it will be ample time for me
just him not me
'twas Warm At What Bees For Us
ambition cannot find him,
"they have not chosen me," he said,
how pleased they were, at what you said
'twas warm at first like us
as in sleep all hue forgotten
what bees for us to hum
some found it mutual gain
Why It
be limited by ignorance
but just for one to stipulate
but do one face us suddenly
that when i could not find it
i had not had but for yourself
and why it was so still
and would not let the seconds by
these adjust that ran to meet us
the other only hear
conviction might, of me
the summer grace, for notice strove
that they will cheat the sight
"that must have been the sun!"
"with Me
to him sums misery
answer thee me
"with me " i said with me?
i'm "wife"! stop there!
i had been hungry, all the years
that i have had before,
seems it don't shriek so under rule,
if i shouldn't be alive
if i should cease to take the names
Tell That No One Else Would Miss
the flower must not blame the bee
tell that the worst, is easy in a moment
as one who for a further life
had he the power to dream
the one that no one else would miss
i could not fix the year,
i do not need a light
where he turned so, and i turned how
did they come back no more?
are we that wait sufficient worth
Who Knows But One
i lived on dread; to those who know
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
perhaps he doesn't know the house
there is no diligence like that
i have heard but one
and yet the band was gone
and when so newly dead
and i had been the rose
For Such An One Need Not Be A
contented as despair
when god remembered and the fiend
i came upon a worm
the day that i shall go
one need not be a house
for such an one as me
she's busy with an altered care
to know if he was patient part content
who till they died, did not alive become
i had been hungry, all the years
but death had told her so the first
how some one treated him;
I Kept It Seemed The Children Find The
could the children find the way there
as if no soul the solstice passed
the eyes glaze once and that is death
that took its cambric way
it seemed the common way,
a time when it was not
i kept it in my hand
and if it had not been so far
when everything that ticked has stopped
Mind You, I's Tranger, I's Tranger,
'stranger, i wish i knew,'
i 'spose i've got to go the road i'm going,
i found that wing broken today!
mind you, i waited till len said the word,
i have been one acquainted with the night,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
I Suppose,
great waves looked over others coming in,
and every fleck of russet showing clear,
in the pain that has but one close,
i have been one acquainted with the night,
and i looked to be happy, and i was,
the plum, i suppose,
i never noticed it from here before,
The House
out through the fields and the woods
across the fields behind the house
half closes the garden path,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
of who began it between the two races,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
the black was all there was by day-light,
but neither one was the thief
that jangled even above the general noise,
I Have Made
the snow must have made
i have been one acquainted with the night,
the thoughts may not have risen that so keep
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
I Wasn't All The Same,
women and men will make them all the same,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
good-night to woods,' but not so; there was more,
erect, but not without its waves, as when
as if with keenness for our fate,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
i thought a few might tangle, as they did,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
and would feel if i wasn't all gone wrong,
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
though it still could sing,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
Tell You That I Let My Right
i let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
and tell you that i saw does still abide,
my right might be love but theirs was need,
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
I Was Just As The Resin And I
then paused again and either drank or smelt
to loose the resin and take it down
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
so late-arising, to the broken moon
i was just as the light was beginning to fail
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
and he likes having thought of it so well
only to lose it when he pirouettes,
The Other Way,
the fault must partly have been in me,
there are things that can never be the same,
leastways for me and then they'll be convinced,
but now for me than you the other way,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
they looked about for someone to have done it,
of course they had to feed him without dishes,
Was The Wind, Was The Wind, Was The
full many a time to say his say
he says they two will make a team for work,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
but neither one was the thief
that that was the place to carry a heart
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
a baggy figure, equally pathetic
a dole of bread, a purse,
That Water Never Did To Flames Without Twice
and then the watcher at his pulse took fright,
blindly striking at my knee and missed,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
going the other way and they not seen it,
but, warren, please remember how it is,
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
that water never did to land before,
to carry again to you,
what matter if we go clear to the west,
i think they would believe the lie,
Somehow Must Be, As He Went Out And
by leaning back myself, as if the reins
as he went out and in to fetch the cows
was i desired in friendship, partly as some one
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
somehow must have gotten abroad,
the water for which we may have to look
there they have every means proper to do with,
that water never did to land before,
to yield with a grace to reason,
I Like It,
i hear him begin far enough away
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
they you wouldn't have looked on it as just a matter
but it might be, come night, i shouldn't like it,
so low for long, they never right themselves,
had worn them really about the same,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
bearing it crushed and mystified,
One Eye Is Slipping, Bottles, Buns
and further still at an unearthly height,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
the barren boughs without the leaves,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
broken across it, and one eye is weeping
but outer space,
they might find fuel there, in withered brake,
outside there in the entry, for i saw it,"
but it's not so, the place is the asylum,
and fighting over it perished fain,
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
and taken with it all the hyla breed
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
So Low For Long, They Were Something That,
with which the modern world is being swept,
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
but it's more likely he was crossed in love,
'what passed between us, she was only reigning,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
so low for long, they never right themselves,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to know that for destruction ice
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
to teach him how to build a load of hay "
and making the best of their way back to life
to better its perch for the night,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
Let Me Into Your Grief, I'm Not So
and the more loitering are turned
the leaves are all dead on the group,
the road would fail; and on that side the fire
across the reeds to a window light,
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
he said he couldn't make the boy believe
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
i wasn�t going to tell you and i mustn�t,
let me into your grief, i'm not so much
for i have had too much
i've been away once yes, i've been away,
's Silas' One Accomplishment,
"enough,"
"i know, that's silas' one accomplishment,
'i wonder,' i say, 'who the owner of those is,'
'someone else can,' 'then someone else will have to,'
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
I Trusted The Demon Arose From His Wallow
in hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,
you take the lake, i look and look at it,
i trusted the brook barrier, but feared
i thought a few might tangle, as they did,
will run as hushed as when they were a thought
In Clomping There, He Would Leave Enough Unsaid,
and i was glad for thee,
i thought a few might tangle, as they did,
so long as he would leave enough unsaid,
but he had gone his way, the grass all mown,
in clomping there, he scared it once again
the only fun he had, i've heard them say, though,
i have been one acquainted with the night,
i discerned, as i thought, beyond the picture,
but i called it a name,
baptiste knew best why i was where i was,
She's Glad The Highway Dust Is Over
at one stroke of a match, brad had to turn
had it been the will of the wind, was left
but that was in the woods, to hold my hand
the fire itself can put it out, and that
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
but never anymore the dead,
she's glad the birds are gone away,
he says the highway dust is over all,
It Stained A Side, It Stained A Cord
a wind to blow in earnest from some quarter,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
the water for which we may have to look
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
trying to sell his farm and then not selling,
to have you come and camp here on our land,
to find that the utmost reward
and to the forest edge you came one day
when a friend calls to me from the road
one on a side, it comes to little more,
before it stained a single human breast,
it was a cord of maple, cut and split
Things They Understand,
summer was past and the day was past,
and ever it was intended so,
and thus it is i know so well
i felt as a fool to have been so caught,
but if you so much as dare to speak,
and draws it down as if it were a lover
it's a star-splitter if there ever was one,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
and living people, and things they understand,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
The Gloaming With Mary;
i pass by that way in the gloaming with mary;
i have come by the highway home,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
the barren boughs without the leaves,
On Up The Flower And That
'someone else can,' 'then someone else will have to,'
'having found the flower and driven a bee away,
on noiseless wing a 'wildered butterfly,
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
the fire itself can put it out, and that
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
if we who sight along it round the world,
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
To Her, But Not To Her, But Not
i found it with the withered leaves
i must get out of here, i must get air,
i have been one acquainted with the night,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
though we choose greatly, still to lack
and bring it to market when you please
to get so we had no one left to live with,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
Scared The River;
its two banks have not shut upon the river;
and show on the water its crystal teeth,
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
like a limp rose-wreath in a fairy dance,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
and a hush falls for all acclaim,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
the roadside flowers, too wet for the bee,
autumn, yes, winter was in the wind;
in clomping off; and scared the outer night,
at broken windows flew out and in,
in summertime with a witching wand,
and a gem-flower waved in a wand!
Ever It Was The Earth,
in summertime with a witching wand,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
almost like a call to come in
that that was the place to carry a heart
nor was the grass itself your real concern,
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
and ever it was intended so,
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
there were enough things to be thought of then,
he may be better than appearances,
he had been heard to say by several,
they sent him back to her, the letter came
it hadn't found the place to blow;
Pan Came To Where It Bent In The
could only have had an influence on birds
while they had backs turned, that it hadn�t been there
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
too far beyond him to be gathered in,
to where it bent in the undergrowth;
it was far in the sameness of the wood;
for a few swift gleams of the angry brand,
and thought of doing something to the shore
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
and making the best of their way back to life
as i came to the edge of the woods,
pan came out of the woods one day,
and, tired of aimless circling in one place,
I Saw It,"
i let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
and i had idly poised my pen in air
i would not come in,
i left you in the morning,
myself unseen, i see in white defined
i wonder about the trees,
i had the swirl and ache
i have been one acquainted with the night,
outside there in the entry, for i saw it,"
As He Had Been Heard To Say By
he had been heard to say by several,
be that as may be, she was in their song,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
as two in whom them were proved mistaken,
and that has made all the difference,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
this new-built city from both work and sleep,
once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
they string together with a living thread,
with a houseful of hungry men to feed
To Go There,
we did that day was mingle great and small
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
to be coming home the way i was,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
just as you will till it becomes a habit,
since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven as yet
to which it is reserved for god above
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
they did not have the wit to say,
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
when supper's on the table, and we'll see
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
where they have left not one stone on a stone,
I Didn't Know Him Well Enough To Have
nor yet did i,
i didn't know him well enough to know
but i have promises to keep,
but if it had to perish twice,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
but once within the wood, we paused
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
what it was all about, there might be something
you'd think his memory might be satisfied "
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
it would be different if more people came,
Kept Them At Home; And With Me,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
and with his eyes he asked her not to ask,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
come over the hills and far with me,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
kept them at home; and it does seem more human,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
i end not far from my going forth
i saw you from that very window there,
i know that this is way in ours,
With Doctoring, But It Sounded,
and be one traveler, long i stood
and so the choice must be again,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
he kept from school, or did his best to keep
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
and to do that to birds was why she came,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
though we choose greatly, still to lack
to listen ere we dared to look,
Upon The Sleep Of Lumber Folk,
now if it was dusk outside,
how was it with him for a second trial,
this was a man, baptiste, who stole one day
and he spoke the bridegroom fair,
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
to white rest, and a place of rest
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
and fighting over it perished fain,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
that all day fights a nervous inward rage,
a speck that would have been beneath my sight
Had Brought To Have Been Its Mark,
seems to owe naught to any single cord,
had brought to rest,
they were welcome to their belief,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
to rest from his besetting fears,
to seek the happy isles together,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
It Was In A Frenchman Couldn't Get His
was in her clouded eyes; they saw no fear there,
the moon, though slight, was moon enough to show
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
a frenchman couldn't get his human rating,
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
what will next prove a rose,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
someone had better be prepared for rage,
The Woods Around It - It Is Theirs,
as anyone, he won't be made ashamed
grief may have thought it was grief,
the woods around it have it - it is theirs,
but the thing of it is, i need to be kept,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
a young beech clinging to its last year's leaves,
that shouted in the mist a month ago,
The Fence Post Carried A Strand Of
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
a shade more the color of snow,
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
'having found the flower and driven a bee away,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
She,
so small the window frames the whole of it,
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
but still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
and the sun shrunken yellow in smoke,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
that tinged the atmosphere,
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
turn the poet out of door,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
Still She Had All They Were,
he is said to have been the last red man
one had to be versed in country things
and still she had all they had they the lucky!
had worn them really about the same,
times were changed from what they were,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
to white rest, and a place of rest
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
with the flowers to play,
and list to the love of these,
and making the best of their way back to life
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
what had that flower to do with being white,
To Their Separation,
we didn't change without some sacrifice,
with womenfolk, we could have some arrangement
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
but yield who will to their separation,
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
but if it had to perish twice,
