Poems about call
Won't You Ask That Men Call "paradise"
'tis not that dying hurts us so
"conscious"?
won't you ask that
that men call "paradise"
and could not know the feeling 'twas
That They Will Cheat The Blood
lest anybody spy the blood
that they will cheat the sight
that as myself could pity him
as we who never can
yet not too far to come at call
these never stir at all
and after that there's heaven
morning means just risk to the lover
the opinion will serve for them
to take my rank by in the west
and yet by trades the size of these
Then It Would Split His Heart, To
they summoned us to die
to elude me so!
nor to dream he and me
for it would split his heart, to know it
and then it's time to strike my tent
it's all i have to bring today
away from home are some and i
should have the face to die,
and bid the world goodmorrow, and go to glory home!
and then abroad the world he go
they leave us with the infinite,
in dreams i see them rise,
yet not too far to come at call
Yet Not Too Far To Do
induces my belief,
or cool one pain,
what will become of me?
yet not too far to come at call
that when i could not find it
for i have but the power to kill,
the grass so little has to do
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
be reckoned up?
the day that i shall go
not that we did, shall be the test
Venice Could Show It But A Riddle, At
i touched with caution lest they crack
i'm not afraid to know
no man can understand
did they come back no more?
what plenty it would be
and there, the matter ends
and health, and laughter, curious things
and through a riddle, at the last
and when again, at dawn,
should i again experience
that i could show it in bazaar
venice could not show a check
that night should be to thee
yet not too far to come at call
be it but a play
Yet We Do Life's Labor
if he dissolve then there is nothing more
sometimes not often in eternity
therefore we do life's labor
and yet we guessed it not
but won't you wish you'd spared one
yet not too far to come at call
so therefore let me in,"
fitter to see him, i may be
when act and will are done
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,
I'd Not Pain
and therefore 'twas not pain
since no one know his circumstance
he did never say
i'd not believe it if i heard
i have so much to do
they called me to the window, for
the other, as a bird her nest,
it wandered from the same,
Just Revelation To Tell
the anguish and the loss
and fear is like the one
and then the wharf is still!
and we are waiting for the coach
round our new fireside but for this
just revelation to the beloved
the walls begun to tell
the world stands solemner to me
the sages call it small
'twas warm at first like us
You've Seen The Year Then
only to aggravate the dark
itself can rest upon
in which my call would come
you've seen the color maybe
i do not care about it
i've nothing else to bring, you know
would it try mine
but could not make them fit,
and yet, it will not go
"conscious"?
won't you ask that
and wear if god should count me fit
that this way thou could'st notice me
i did not know the year then
i think that earth feels so
or i should fear to pause
Say That A Misery
without a misery
one anguish in a crowd
the future never spoke
of how many be
on here and there a creature
but called the others clear
when peace was far away
say that a little life for his
a beggar here and there
so like the meadows now
because it's sunday all the time
is it dead find it
but just a crumb to me
it near as i can guess
But Just Held Two, Nor Those It Was
afraid to trust the morn
to answer wherefore when he pass
it was announced to me
it just held two, nor those it held
as it has usual done
but just to look it in the eye
on the heads that started with us
but, looking back the first so seems
i keep it, staying at home
midnight good night! i hear them call,
though thine attention stop not on me
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
Except The Children No Further Question
to wonder what myself will say,
how well i knew her not
what portion of me i
i've nothing else to bring, you know
in which my call would come
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
to such, if they should whisper
but not to touch, or wish for,
we questioned to, again,
nor ever turn to tell me why
except the dying this to us
and the children no further question
half the condition, thy reverse to follow
That Would Be
as if my soul were deaf and dumb
i shut my eyes and groped as well
and i dropped down, and down
and thread the dews, all night, like pearls
they called me to the window, for
the need did not reduce
that when i could not find it
where i put it down
that would not let the will
could she have guessed that it would be
where i put it down
and any one i knew
my eyes just turned to see,
so you could see what moved them so
To Fall
afraid! of whom am i afraid?
i know not which thy chamber is
for doubt, that i should know the sound
i was not called
it near as i can guess
is it always pleasant there
was that she might
to know just how he suffered would be dear
that never ceased to fall
such bliss had i for all the years
so like the meadows now
Who Knows But At The Face
the distance would not haunt me so
and what itself, will say to me
how foreign that can be
it would be life
yet not too far to come at call
who knows but at the sight of that
that sense was breaking through
turn it, a little full in the face
i used to when a boy
and put a stone to keep it warm
forget! the lady with the amulet
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
i'm not afraid to know
How Could I Forget
toward the god of him
teach him when he makes the names
how mean to those that see
this if i forget
an awe if it should be like that
there yet remains a love
not in this world to see his face
but we might learn to like the heaven,
how could i of him?
if just as soon as breath is out
they called me to the window, for
and then a plank in reason, broke,
she cannot keep her place,
it had created her,
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
Yet We Felt The Dark
a trouble lest they're homesick
you almost pitied it you it worked so
and wondered what they did there
"they have not chosen me," he said,
when others call it "day"!
to be alive and will!
through knowing where we only hope
and yet we guessed it not
before we felt the dark
Except That You Than He To Tell Extremely
but awed beyond my errand
yet not too far to come at call
nor when it altered, i could say,
nor where it went, nor why it came
were he to tell extremely sorry
whom we have never seen
except that you than he
They Say It's Many A Lay Of
dying! to be afraid of thee
i would as soon attempt to warm
i could not tell the date of mine,
but it's many a lay of the dim burgundy
an awe if it should be like that
to put this world down, like a bundle
to wonder what myself will say,
perhaps he doesn't know the house
they say it doesn't hurt
i think, they call it "god"
so short a thing to sigh
as should sound to me
then look for me, be sure you say
i'd rather be the one
God, That He Touched Me, So I
we slowly drove, he knew no haste,
and god, that he called his,
how they will tell the story
he touched me, so i live to know
i suppose it will interrupt me some
Yet Not For Me
and terror's free
not in this world to see his face
out of sight?
what of that?
it was not for me
i think to live may be a bliss
to cover what we are
some things that fly there be
yet not too far to come at call
because it was a child, you know
just when the grave and i
i knew no more of want or cold
tell him no you may quibble there
and therefore good
such guilt to love thee most!
unworthy, that a thought so mean
For Fear Of Getting To Know If Any
for fear of joggling him!
to know if any human eyes were near
were you ever there?
i think, they call it "god"
then will i not repine,
and so i always bear the cup
one came the road that i came
the day that i was crowned
so instead of getting to heaven, at least
and then a day as huge
and then he closes up
to my quick ear the leaves conferred
it sickened fresh upon my sight
endow the living with the tears
that trusts her boldly up
Had I Troubled Them
nor how ourselves be justified
if that indeed redeem
and when the heavens disband
and whom you told it to beside
we who have the souls
and drama is never dead
dreams are well but waking's better,
life is what we make of it
for life be love
i wearied too of mine
had i the jewel got
to wander now is my repose
just see if i troubled them
if i should bribe the little bird
i had some things that i called mine
Such Guilt To Me
such guilt to love thee most!
should you but fail at sea
day knocked and we must part
and every time i speak for him
and next i met her on a cloud
in which my call would come
one need not be a house
that hunger was a way
yet know not what was done to me
Nor Will He Like Them All,
nor will he like the dumb
they called me to the window, for
and if they have to try,
or better, be with me
and yet it tasted like them all,
and know no other way
but what must be the smile
and life was not so ample i
but large enough for me
but unapproached it stands
foot of the bold did least attempt it
when it is lost, that day shall be
i'll tell you how the sun rose,
as stood you here
eyes were not meant to know,
The Singer Recalling
of things of moment to which, they wist,
'a word with you, that of the singer recalling
this is the word of your queen,"
the fen had every kind of bloom,
than the merest aimless breath of air,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
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,
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
He Viewed Them Quizzically With Jerks Of Modern
he took him down below a cramping rafter,
he viewed them quizzically with jerks of head,
the sound was behind me instead of before,
the more of right the more he loves;
out of the winter things he fashions a story of modern love,
looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs,
the petal of the rose
the dead of the commissary
Then Lightly Stooped To Have Done It,
of their worth for you to treasure,
through some delay, and call you to your face
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
they looked about for someone to have done it,
that now it means to stay,
If Certain It Seems, But Hold
with night so near, but not much further up,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
that�s what for reasons i should like to know�
to learn about not launching out too soon
something you somehow haven't to deserve,"
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
"when was i ever anything but kind to him?
we didn't change without some sacrifice,
For The Birds, Without The Middle Of Many
with the curves of his axe-helves and his having
and held against the world of hoary grass,
something inspires the only cow of late
for the grapes' sake along the all,
then sit down in the middle of them all,
with the breath of many flowers,
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a star in two or three, the way you split
'a word with you, that of the singer recalling
without the birds, without the breeze,
Through Some Delay, And Gave Them Back Their
word i was in the house alone
there was a gate i had leaned at for the view
what held it though on one side was a tree
sideways, that would have run her on the stove
you had begun, and gave them back their shade,
through some delay, and call you to your face
the bridegroom thought it little to give
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
But I Called It A Day, I Wish
i guess you'd find,, it seems to me
call it a day, i wish they might have said
but i called it a name,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
he don't know why he isn't quite as good
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,
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
To White Rest, And A Last Sounding Word
and spread her apron to it, she put out her hand
and still the bird revisited her young,
and caught me splitting wood in the yard,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
across the sill from the outer gloom,
to white rest, and a place of rest
one on a side, it comes to little more,
then there were three there, making a dim row,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
spares to strike for the common good,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
almost like a call to come in
and a last sounding word to say,
he hates to see a boy the fool of books,
Like A Beast's Stall, To That Height?
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
and a shout greets the daring one,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
but turns to pink between the teeth,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
through some delay, and call you to your face
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
Where The Foe Thrust Back Unsafe Beyond The
something sinister in the tone
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
where the bird was before it flew,
with inclinations it could call its own,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
the swarm dilating round the perfect trees,
the foe thrust back unsafe beyond the rhine,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
a miserable sight, and frightening, too
The War Seemed Over More Like The War
where nobody can call you crone,
do you know, what we talked about was knowledge?
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
the war seemed over more for you than me,
make the day seem to us less brief,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
before it stained a single human breast,
man acts more like the poor bear in a cage,
like the two strokes across a dollar sign,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
Before The Angle Of Something Interposed Between Their
a weapon in our human fight,' he said,
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
he calls on change through the violence of the elements,
of something interposed between their sight
and whispers with a sort of stifled bark,
before the coming of the snow,
and her in the angle of house and barn
then sit down in the middle of them all,
out through the fields and the woods
and knock to the echoes as beggars for roses,
next to nothing for use,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
To Let Him Know We Look Too Near,
call it a day, i wish they might have said
it is because like men we look too near,
let�s not care what we do with it to-night,
we don't cut off from coming to church suppers,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
As The Night Long,
there would be more than ocean-water broken
but more than one as yet, your parasol
all turn and look one way,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
until the strength was shouted out of him,
but not long since in the lumber camps,
nor vainly listen all the night long,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
the place it reached to blackened instantly,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
that now it means to stay,
Shout From Where I Should Not Be
text
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
i should not be withheld but that some day
my right might be love but theirs was need,
and shout from where i am, what is it?
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
and one thing more that was not then to say,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
he has a plan, you mustn't laugh at him,
there was a gate i had leaned at for the view
some sympathy was wasted on the house,
with what was another man's work for gain,
He Went;
brushing the dirt from his eye as he went;
and half the bag wound round his hand,
he bore a green-white stick in his hand,
he stood there bringing march against his thought,
there he had built his stolen shack,
when he called her -
He Calls On Stone,
they make us cringe for metal-point on stone,
on through the watching for that early birth
to drum on the floor with scurrying hoofs
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
and the nature of time and space,
the spoils of the dead,
then the rain stopped and the blowing,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
he calls on change through the violence of the elements,
with the glittering things,
and the awe passes wonder then,
and the world had found new terms of worth,
more blameless in the sense of being less
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;
What Have I Knelt
save only me
and what have i then?
i took what front there was beside, i knelt
i thought, who is that man? i didn't know you,
no, not vainly there did i dwell,
but it might be, come night, i shouldn't like it,
but wherever the truth may be
if that was what it was, you can be certain,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
i'll see to that if there is need, he ought of right
where nobody can call you crone,
"i will find out now you must tell me, dear,"
He Moves In Darkness As It To
but if you so much as dare to speak,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
they must go down past things coming up,
your going and coming, and you like it here?
don't carry it to someone else this time,
and he could wait -we'd see to him tomorrow,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
to be coming home the way i was,
they knew they had but to stay their stay
that now it means to stay,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
But Swinging Doesn't Bend Them Down To Make
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
but just the kind that kinsfolk can't abide,
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
i went to show you how to make it stay,
I Don't Know!
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
i wonder about the trees,
it faltered, i could see it hesitate;
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
i sha'n't be gone long, you come too,
i don't know where it's likely to go better,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
that i suddenly head all i needed to hear,
and see the way you lived, but i don't know!
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
and often they brought so much to say
there were enough things to be thought of then,
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
I Was Just As The Color Of The
i was just as the light was beginning to fail
there is the gale to urge behind
seems to me owes it to the town to keep one,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to this lean feeding save once a year
is what to make of a diminished thing,
with a houseful of hungry men to feed
and wished her heart in a case of gold
something inspires the only cow of late
a shade more the color of snow,
like a white piece of rigid satin cloth
a tree beside the wall stands bare,
'a word with you, that of the singer recalling
If I May Recall It,
she had to ask, "what was it, dear?"
"just that i see,"
mind you, i waited till len said the word,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
whether i am glad, sorry, or anything,
if i ever read it,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
nothing so new�something we had forgotten,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
no more to build on there, and they, since they
to seek the happy isles together,
that would be good both going and coming back,
though it still could sing,
A Quiverful To Make Pretense
a quiverful to choose from, since he wished me
and say no word to tell me who he was
he will not see me stopping here
man came to tell it what was wrong,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
and spread her apron to it, she put out her hand
and checked my steps to make pretense
She Scorns A Pasture Withering To The Place
one flight out sideways would have undeceived him,
i must be wonted to it that's the reason,
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
and ought to do some good if splitting stars
i didn't know him well enough to know
and say no word to tell me who he was
he said to gain time, "what is it you see?"
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
the hard snow held me, save where now and then
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
and turns to the wind to unruffle a plume,
were native to the grain before the knife
He Consigned To Stay,
the youth is persuaded that he will be rather more than less himself
they tried to keep him clothed, but he paraded
i wasn't looking for him and he's changed,
saying, and she could have him, and before
he consigned to the moon, such as she was,
he viewed them quizzically with jerks of head,
he takes up life simply with the small tasks,
was setting out, up track and down, not plants
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
what matter if we go clear to the west,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
that now it means to stay,
trying, i thought, to set it up on end,
The Rocks He Mixed That In The Time
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
when a friend calls to me from the road
and it seems like the time when after doubt
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
the way he mixed that in with other things,
and plowed between the rocks he couldn't move,
But I May Recall It,
while i fry their bacon, much they care!
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
i let it lie there till i hope it slept,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
but i may be one who does not care
while i fry their bacon, much they care!
you have only to ask me, and i can tell,
did ever you feel so? i hope you never,
i don't stand still and look around
do we know any better where we are,
what matter if we go clear to the west,
and listen - how it ought to go!
the place it reached to blackened instantly,
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
To See, If It Down As If It
and draws it down as if it were a lover
if we who sight along it round the world,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
so, but the hand was gone already,
but never anymore the dead,
said some of the best things we ever said,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
where nobody can call you crone,
