Poems about child
That Night Begun
the winds like children lulled 
that night begun 
as one should come to town 
of how many be 
When It Could He Flinch The Eye That
lest if he flinch the eye that way
when it is lost, that day shall be
forever might be short, i thought to show 
for it would stop my breath 
as if it held but the might of a child 
if it had no word,
as far as it could see 
could he know they sought him 
he seek conviction, that be this 
salute, and pass, without a hint 
Still, Had It Be Possible
they thwarted us with guns 
can harass me no more 
yet know not what was done to me
we actually hear
as certainty can see
in doubtful meal, if it be possible
still, had it such a value
and yet i was a living child 
that was all i cared to know,
without a bolt that i could prove 
came once a world did you?
teach him when he makes the names 
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 
A Child No More
the racket shamed me so 
i'm pleading at the "counter" sir 
i felt it publish in my eye 
another way to see 
a being impotent to end 
a doubt if it be fair indeed 
it may be wilderness without 
that frightened but an hour 
that certain as it comes 
but what must be the smile
so soon to be a child no more 
when i have lost, you'll know by this 
if you'll just tell me so 
The Mountain Stated
thou notice us no more 
we see comparatively 
all swindlers be infer 
so this sort are not given 
could the children find the way there 
the test of love is death 
the brooks slam all the day 
bloom upon the mountain stated 
cheerful as to the village 
and assumes from home 
from the belief that somewhere 
retreat was out of hope 
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,
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
Her Glory I Touched With Caution Lest They're
a trouble lest they're homesick 
i touched with caution lest they crack 
what if i file this mortal off 
bereft i was of what i knew not
her glory i should know 
you would not know it from the field 
it's like the light, 
could the children find the way there 
for these were only put to death 
Where You Were Not What We Could Were
steady my soul, what issues
is my intention now,
who something lost, the seeking for
but when the soul is in pain 
the lonesome for they know not what 
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
or chase him if he do
as if it held but the might of a child 
it should not be among
a doubt if it be us
if what we could were what we would 
where you were not 
see where it hurt me that's enough 
nor will he like the dumb 
I'd So Much Joy I Took My Hand
she feels some ghastly fright come up
came once a world did you?
it just reminded me 't was all 
and grateful that a thing
is gotten not of fingers 
that right was thine 
my heart would wish it broke before 
i took my power in my hand 
i'd so much joy i told it red 
savior! i've no one else to tell 
so say if queen it be 
that i cannot must be
a wife at daybreak i shall be 
for i was once a child 
I Bear It Tasted Like Them All,
my scrutiny deceives,
and yet it tasted like them all,
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
i haven't quite the strength now
for i was once a child 
and so i bear it big about
if i could find it anywhere
but did not finish, some way back,
it doesn't state you how
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 I Left The Will
you left me boundaries of pain 
i felt it publish in my eye 
i'm confident that bravoes 
i left the place, with all my might 
that would not let the will 
it cannot be again 
'twas more i cannot mention 
i wished they'd stay away
i knew not but the next
that i could fear a door,
that ever rocked a child,
But Not So Ample Yesterday
unto like story trouble has enticed me 
i struggled and was there 
the lost day's face 
far ends of tired days 
but, were it two 
what plenty it would be 
that felt so ample yesterday 
but not so soon 
i shall not feel the sleet then 
and carried, i supposed to heaven,
and then, i brake my life and lo,
and yet i was a living child 
would cost me just a life!
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 
I Think The Days Could Take It
and entertain despair 
hands not so stout hoisted them in witness 
like mine for not a foot nor hand 
i think the days could every one
perhaps he doesn't know the house 
that there be standing here 
could take it 
we might e'en divide 
when cogs stop that's circumference 
a still volcano life 
so sailors say on yesterday 
show me them said i 
what if i say i shall not wait!
if i were half so fine myself
for i was once a child 
How Well I Hear Her Say
the news would strike me dead 
for fear i hear her say
of only taste we cared to please
had not a further use 
for i was once a child 
how well i knew the light before 
i told him best must pass
to know just how he suffered would be dear 
be sure you're sure you know 
Could The Cars Have But The Cars Have
my worthiness is all my doubt 
and beg me put it on 
for i had worn it, every day,
still to be explained,
for i have but the power to kill,
i'd rather be the one
it seems as though the time
it has no future but itself 
and grateful that a thing
is when the cars have come 
could the children find the way there 
this covert have all the children
it cannot be my spirit 
somehow, it will be even 
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
But, Were Saved
to him, it would be death 
one and one are one 
if you remember, and were saved 
and now you've littered all the east
till love that was and love too best to be 
so soon to be a child no more 
i shall but drink the more!
and so i bear it big about
i asked no other thing 
some things that fly there be 
but, were it two 
more hands to hold these are but two 
the drums don't follow me with tunes 
so short way off it seems 
their going is not 
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
Should They Start For The Utterest Then
it spurn the grave 
the loneliness one dare not sound 
which anguish was the utterest then 
rejected be of her?
say sweet then
not for you to say
or other thing if other thing there be 
as if it were not born,
who till they died, did not alive become 
than the rest have gone,
should they start for the sky,
so soon to be a child no more 
oh, dear, i guess if he were a boy 
They're Here, Though; Not For The Might Of
they're here, though; not a creature failed 
to what, could we presume
when it began, or if there were
as if it held but the might of a child 
not for the sorrow, done me 
Whose Dying Eyes, No Child,
impatient of no child,
whose dying eyes, no country
will equal glow, and thought no more
for treason not of his, but life's,
It Is The Tyranny
nor whose the tyranny 
it is the white exploit 
one anguish in a crowd 
more mountains then a sea 
he'd climb if he could!
as dying say it does 
say "when tomorrow comes this way 
that after horror that 'twas us 
i shall be perfect in his sight 
that every time i wake 
that last day that i was a life
it was a different tune 
as if it held but the might of a child 
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
Insert The "children" There Won't Be "new Fashioned"
insert the thing that caused it 
i hope the "children" there won't be "new fashioned" when i come 
to think just how the fire will burn 
because because if he should die
how well i knew the light before 
yet now i know how the heather looks, 
what word had they, for me?
i did not know the year then 
as some she never knew 
Better Than Music! For I Who Heard
we must an anguish pay
that they will cheat the sight 
that every sigh may lift you
they suggest to our sight 
so leisurely were we 
that you so late "consider" me 
better than music! for i who heard it 
where this attendeth me 
and kindly ask it in 
so soon to be a child no more 
it did not surprise me 
i should not fear the foe then 
before we felt the dark 
nor to dream he and me 
I Know
his merit all my fear 
might he but spy the lady's soul 
because it was a child, you know 
i know it, by the numb look
because your face
although i put away his life 
and if he spoke what name was best 
i never thought to see 
if love be just beyond 
and if i do when morning comes 
that would not let the will 
loose the flood you shall find it patent 
He Did Not Know I
we're fearing that their hearts will drop  
this covert have all the children
as small  they say  as i  
yet i  for it  would pay  
he did not know i saw;
i love thee  then how well is that?
but morn  didn't want me  now  
I Remember Me;
power is only pain  
not yet, our eyes can see  
"they have not chosen me," he said,
that they remember me;
i hope the "children" there won't be "new fashioned" when i come  
although  i knew  to take it  
let me think  i'm sure  
then i remember not,
If You Would Like To Me
  that our minds are hot,
how much can come
i hope the "children" there won't be "new fashioned" when i come  
never could  to me  
if you would like to borrow,
it cannot be my spirit  
what could it hinder so  to say?
i knew not but the next
we didn't do it  tho'!
just felt the world go by!
as pride were all it could  
but to faith  a revolution
what day be dark to me  
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
The Soul Is In Pain
but when the soul is in pain  
but  the instead  the pinching fear
without the fear  to justify  
and the children  no further question  
so this sort  are not given  
as can no other mouth
as if it held but the might of a child  
a good news should be given,
but could not make it feel,
i would not paint  a picture  
i do not need a light  
just  see  if i troubled them  
i'm saying every day
i kept it in my hand  
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
To Read, It Was,
"can't a man speak of his own child he's lost?"
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
he must have given the hand, however it was,
spending what onward impulse they still had
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
to hold it hard until they make it fast,
Followed Where He Thought That Child's
he liked to have it slender as a whipstock,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play 
it totters when she licks it with her tongue,
to put a tree between us when he lighted,
since he was old enough to know, big boy
good arguments he sees he might have used,
and followed where he furrowed field,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
A Child At Heart
doing a man's work, though a child at heart 
with doctoring, but it's not medicine 
and ever it was intended so,
by measure, it was word and note,
nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
in summertime with a witching wand,
a temple of the heat,
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
with only strength of the fighting arm
before the age of the fern;
the disappearing last of him
Care For And Old Where The Woods
and on the worn book of old-golden song
the blows that a life of self-control
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
to take your mother-loss of a first child
out of the winter things he fashions a story of modern love,
carries him out of there,
men of the woods and lumberjacks,
of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
and care for them in such a change of scene
of those who for some good discerned
of what you came for and become like me,
for whom these lines when they shall greet her eye,
But The Languor Of It And You're Two
the pile is ours, we dragged it bough on bough 
of my regret hung not on all the land,
but the black spread like black death on the ground, 
the languor of it and the dreaming fond;
within, the bride in the dusk alone
and children in the ships and in the towns? 
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
the telescope at one end of his beat,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
We Dance Round In Living Is To Interfere
my object in living is to unite
the planets seem to interfere in their curves -
were native to the grain before the knife
the meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
and in a little   a french touch in that,
we dance round in a ring and suppose,
two and a child,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
and slept, the log that shifted with a jolt
Like A Second Trial,
like a malice prepense,
a dole of bread, a purse,
doing a man's work, though a child at heart 
how was it with him for a second trial,
all for me and not a question
they looked about for someone to have done it, 
and all for nothing it had ever done
what had that flower to do with being white,
"i want him to, he'll have to soon or late,"
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
Where His Job, When He Loves;
she let him look, sure that he wouldn't see,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play 
where his job, when he wasn't selling tickets,
in time, had she not realized her danger
the sound was behind me instead of before,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
a sort of catch-all full of attic clutter,
more blameless in the sense of being less
the more of right the more he loves;
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
yet for them the lilac renewed its leaf,
A Time To A Window Light, And Then
or keeps the end from being hard,
going the other way and they not seen it, 
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
or shadow, but a cavern hole,
across the reeds to a window light,
nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
a narrow passage all the way around,
it only gives our wish for blue a whet,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
it is the autumnal mood with a difference,
it has lasted me many and many a year,
a small bird flew before me, he was careful
a voice said, look me in the stars
the blue prunella every child's delight,
One Back And Stopped The Stiffness Out Of
but now he brushed the shavings from his knee
he never found her, though he looked
only to lose it when he pirouettes,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play 
and he likes having thought of it so well
i have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
until he took the stiffness out of them,
and where they sought without the sword
the birds that came to it through the air
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
deeper down in the well than where the water
one back and forward, in and out of shadow,
with straining in the world's embrace,
and fixity in our joys,
In The Door,
i have wished a bird would fly away,
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
in prayer to the door,
and children in the ships and in the towns? 
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
