Poems about chance
If Just As Breath Is Like Death, During
when upon a pain titanic
love is like death, during the grave
if just as soon as breath is out
and now the chance had come
Or Opportunity Her Lord Away?
or opportunity her lord away?
to take my chance with pain
how easy all can see
i do not need a light
I Can Do I Who Heard It
need you unto him
give spices unto men
a woman white to be
better than music! for i who heard it
or if it sometime showed as 'twill
but just a crumb to me
when going to the barn
to think just how the fire will burn
what i can do i will
i might have chanced that way!
i'm sure 'tis india all day
i'll bear it better now
what if they hear me!
A Languor Of Feeling It Was Not Feel
from the belief that somewhere
that perches in the soul
there is a languor of the life
and this one do not feel the same
as far as death this way
heaven is so far of the mind
a thrust and then for life a chance
to have the joy of feeling it again
that arise and set about us
how well i knew the light before
it was not night, for all the bells
the day came slow, till five o'clock,
While I
within my income these could lie
do he dwell or nay know i
as even while i looked dissolved
when earth cannot be had
and then she ceased to bear it
while i was reaching him
and now the chance had come
and i have ceased to wonder why
what little of him we possessed
the lonesome for they know not what
so safer guess with just my soul
Tell Me By Time The Hours Meek
so wondering thro' the hours meek
taught me by time the lower way
just revelation to the beloved
a thrust and then for life a chance
is not a controvertible
it varies in the chin
put it in latin left of my school
it takes me all the while to poise
tell me how far the morning leaps
when i forget to tease
Too Plummetless That Goes That Goes That Goes
but seemed engrossed to absolute
our souls saw just as well
was this the patientest
gone as soon as known
as one should come to town
it will be ample time for me
rejected be of her?
too plummetless that it return
a bird by chance that goes that way
as dying say it does
it could not hold a sigh
Than Perish From The Sting
lest if he flinch the eye that way
did i not take it from the ways
to rest to rest would be
it's all i have to bring to-day,
and all we need of hell,
news is he of all the others;
than perish from the chance's list
the fact of famine could not be
that could not stop to be a king
teach him when he makes the names
that like the drunkard goes
yet blamed the fate that flung it less
tastes death the first to hand the sting
and sore must be the storm
Sounds Long, Until I Went
where none of us should be,
was once supposed to turn,
sounds long, until i read the place
i'd rather be the one
there is one farther than you
a thrust and then for life a chance
that he'll mistake and ask for me
and so around the words i went
Too Imminent The Hills Do
too imminent the chance
should reach the heart that wanted me
alter! when the hills do
the walls begun to tell
Who'd Be The One
and so of larger darkness
if things were opposite and me
who'd be the fool to stay?
so not to see us but they say
i could not die with you
what word had they, for me?
it would be life
a thrust and then for life a chance
life is what we make of it
you would not know it from the drifts
and fear is like the one
is but a province in the being's centre
and settles in the hills
extinguished in the sea
Carries One Out Of It To Buy
maybe that would awaken them!
i came to buy a smile today
and carries one out of it to god
a bird by chance that goes that way
A Bird By Chance That Don't Remember You
because he knows and
that don't remember you
i could not have told it,
would not the fun
to those who look on you
you cannot find out all about
to those who look on you
that not for all their heaven can boast
that every sigh may lift you
should reach the heart that wanted me
a bird by chance that goes that way
love is that later thing than death
she had begun to lie
Now The Only One
my face to justify
there's not a charge to me
and now the chance had come
mine was the only one
the first that i could recollect
i dared to show a tress of theirs
to one who never felt it blaze
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
It Broke Before
such guilt to love thee most!
when frightened home to thee i run
my heart would wish it broke before
it pleased my narrow eyes
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
i might have chanced that way!
then i remember not,
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
Our Share Of The Earth
trust the loving promise
afraid to trust the morn
the earth lays back these tired lives
to make me fairest of the earth
put the thought in advance a year
our share of night to bear
a thrust and then for life a chance
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
Although I Knew To Take It Now Whoever
me prove it now whoever doubt
there yet remains a love
are one and yet the former
a bird by chance that goes that way
although i knew to take it
but just to hear the grace depart
Then Look For Me
where dawn knows how to be
and whom you told it to beside
then look for me, be sure you say
you, unsuspecting, feel for me
i can't tell you but you feel it
i might have chanced that way!
nor ever turn to tell me why
New
when once it has begun
a bird by chance that goes that way
so say if queen it be
of which i have never heard?
nor will he like the dumb
it's all i have to bring today
no one he seemed to know
fame of myself to lack although
as if they just repressed
when he was mean and new
and then the list is done
when choice of life is past
they given us presents most you know
No One Can Know How Glad I Should
no one can know how glad i am to find
i might not have the chance i missed in life
i was something among the leaves i sought
that i should have guessed
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
other folks have to, and why shouldn't i?
to get so we had no one left to live with,
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
Finding Them Butterfly Weed When I Have Outwalked
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
finding them butterfly weed when i came,
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
i craved strong sweets, but those
i might not have the chance i missed in life
for i have had too much
Do We Cannot Look The Way They Cannot
or did you say
as if to ask, 'why don't you make some motion?
"you don't know how to ask it,"
do we know any better where we are,
and try if we cannot feel forsaken,
in one last look the way they must not go,
they cannot look out far,
the way it is will do for moss,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
i doubt if you're as living as you look,"
"i will find out now you must tell me, dear,"
i can see how you might, but i don't know!
i might not have the chance i missed in life
