Poems about close
It's Easy As A Second Future
when peace was far away
but not the grief that nestled close
it's easy as a sign
will in a second future
A Darting Fear A Tear
a darting fear a pomp a tear
endow the living with the tears
then close the valves of her attention
the whole of me forever
The Privilege
the soul has moments of escape
a heaven of heavens the privilege
the soul should stand in awe
the soul so close on paradise
But Stopped, When Qualified To Love, But Not
a fear will urge it where
it would be life
it tried to be a rose
a bomb to justify
whether to reveal
one port suffices for a brig like mine
might death enable thee
it feels a shame to be alive
but not the grief that nestled close
perhaps he doesn't know the house
but stopped, when qualified to guess
nor had i time to love, but since
tell him the page i didn't write
Winter, Were Lie To Mend Her Gave Me
and entertain despair
and then he closes up
and so to mend her gave me work
to look at her how slowly
tell which it's dull to guess
winter, were lie to me
such bliss had i for all the years
i shall not feel the sleet then
just see if i troubled them
that you never do it
i could not hope for mine
i must guess
Still In One Blood
dwell in one blood
still in her eye
and put a stone to keep it warm
and still within a summer's night
we go no further with the dust
except it quiet bring
they put me in the closet
i heard it hit the ground
Between The Bliss And Open House Again
between the bliss and me
and open house again
my life closed twice before its close
my feet, too, that had wandered so
I Should Be A Pair Of Us Don't
nor noticed that the ebbing day
as oft as he go down
that we but recollect the one
we can but follow to the sun
it may be a renown to live
an awe if it should be like that
it doesn't state you how
and when your little lifetime failed,
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
they put me in the closet
i should have had the joy
i wished a way might be
A Time When It Was Large Enough For
but instinct esteem him
nor like himself the art
when one has given up one's life
when it is lost, that day shall be
a time when it was not
was large enough for me,
and chatted close with this grand thing
when he was mean and new
but no man moved me till the tide
i wonder if it hurts to live,
say if it's really warm at noon
but do one face us suddenly
They Were The Little Hand That's
and closer to the fire
and after that there's heaven
and they were the little hand that knocked
and he would come again
see where it hurt me that's enough
Other Went To The Grief That Nestled
but not the grief that nestled close
it's thoughts and just two heart
and other went to turn the mill
one hand the tools
and closer to the fire
had it a notice from the noon
another way to see
so go your way and i'll go mine
Shape My Garden Go
or what the distant say
close to the two i lost
he never saw me in this life
love is like death, during the grave
to leave me in the atom's tomb
some in the busy tomb
in corners till a day
new feet within my garden go
and shape my hands
and then abroad the world he go
to this world she returned,
and carried, i supposed to heaven,
who win, and nations do not see
but they that go,
But Just The Little Bird Would Not Dissent
the little bird would not dissent
they put me in the closet
but just the primer to a life
it is as if a hundred drums
Just For One To Stipulate
be of me afraid,
he will tell me what "peter" promised
they'd judge us how
but just for one to stipulate
because there was a winter once
because escape is done
done
just we two meet
i think a little well like mine
closer so i at my sleeping
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
Then, To Go To Paradise, With Me
conviction might, of me
to paradise, with me
and then, to go to sleep;
they put me in the closet
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
Although I Put Away His Life Closed Twice
although i put away his life
my life closed twice before its close
delayed till she had ceased to know
to look at her how slowly
so when 'twas time to see
how sweet i shall not lack in vain
Since A Dying Eye
so when she comes this way,
then, darling, it will close
i sat me down to sigh,
i've seen a dying eye
i have a bird in spring
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
that other kind was pain
these are time's affair
discern d still withholden
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,
The Heart Is Still Aching To A Quiet
even as on earth, in paradise;
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
were once more on their travels,
though two, close-keeping, are lass and lad,
with sorrow and dread,
and tenderly, life's little dream,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
the heart is still aching to seek,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
Moon Get Crossed, But Work Ain't All,
the hurt is not enough,
that probably it never would be lost,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
that lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust,
no footstep moved it, 'this is all,' they sighed,
but work ain't all, len undertakes too much,
but just the kind that kinsfolk can't abide,
we didn't change without some sacrifice,
tomorrow they may form and go,
The Tree Away
and say no word to tell me who he was
he said twice over before he knew himself,
and followed where he furrowed field,
he burned his house down for the fire insurance
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
where bird and flower were one and the same,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
when slowly and nobody comes with a light
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
not only sands and gravels
and so not carrying the tree away
There In The Doctor Put Him With Ichor
of the great harvest i myself desired,
and the nature of time and space,
and heat so close in; but the thought of all
the doctor put him in the dark of ether,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
all simply in the springing of the year,
the understanding of a friend,
embalm him with ichor of nettle,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
that struck the earth,
when that was, the soft mist
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
and try to stack them in a better load,
The Bird Would Have The Rabbit Out Of
when this one fell
but with one step backward taken
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
when, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
half closes the garden path,
but the flower leaned aside
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
and yet too ready to believe the most,
they were welcome to their belief,
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
as well to-night as any night,
the bird would cease and be as other birds
nor yet in any spur it may be to ambition,
But The Black Death On The Handle's
that's standing by the mother, it's so young,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
they turn their back on the land,
he looks on the bright side of everything,
he courts the autumnal mood,
with whom he crosses antennae,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
To Find Fused In Grass And Sand,
in grass and sand,
to find fused in another star,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
to yield with a grace to reason,
and on a day we meet to walk the line
to stop without a farmhouse near
a plow, they say, to plow the snow,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
So Close The Indwelling Spider Ran To See
then took it from me and i let him take it,
to put a tree between us when he lighted,
there we bowed us in the burning,
something more of the depths and then i lost it,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
but whenever the roof camme white
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
the indwelling spider ran to greet the fly,
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,
Afraid Of Me, There's Two Can Play
and a man with a smoky lantern chimney?
like a malice prepense,
but were always a rose,
in the pain that has but one close,
afraid of me, there's two can play at that,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
outside there in the entry, for i saw it,"
that the birds there in all the garden round
that tinged the atmosphere,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
a number in, but what about the brook
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
bring berries under the wagon seat,
Thrust Hands In The Summer Load,
a weapon in our human fight,' he said,
he's finished school, and teaching in his college,
and thrust hands in and held my face away,
he looks on the bright side of everything,
in the pain that has but one close,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
the wind once blew itself untaught,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
Half Closes The Graves Of The Hard Work,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
to earn a living on the concord railroad,
they cast on the ground
the graves of men on an opposing hill,
the spoils of the dead,
the understanding of a friend,
the fruited bough of the juniper
half closes the garden path,
she loves the bare, the withered tree;
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
He Ought To Our Dwelling Place?
they cannot look out far,
and ought to do some good if splitting stars
i'll see to that if there is need, he ought of right
`the best thing that we're put here for's to see;
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
so close to our dwelling place?
nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
who was so foolish as to think what he thought,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
the fact is the sweetest dream that labour knows,
but the theory now goes
he says the best way out is always through,
With Me,
"i want him to, he'll have to soon or late,"
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
the difficulty of seeing what stood still,
so inconsolably in the face of love,
and heat so close in; but the thought of all
under the hand of the village barber,
the overimportant pair,
as the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
drawing the slow waves whiter and whiter and whiter,
with the glittering things,
come over the hills and far with me,
There Are Things That Can Never Be The
better to go down dignified
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
he wanted to go over that, but most of all
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
coming and going all the time, they are,
there are things that can never be the same,
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
A Moment Sought In Air His Flower Of
spares to strike for the common good,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
and thing next most diffuse to cloud,
but turns to pink between the teeth,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
to white rest, and a place of rest
in the shape of a man,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
and started down the gully,
portent in little, assorted death and blight
when pear and cherry bloom went down in showers
the trees that have it in their pent-up buds
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
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,
With Doors That Are Slain
even the bravest that are slain
and have our fire and laugh and be afraid,�
coming and going all the time, they are,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
with the glittering things,
with mischievous, vagrant, seraphic look,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
and be glad of a good roof overhead,
looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs,
vague dream head lifted out of the ground,
A Bear-skin Rug Of Rest,
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
and the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
the graveyard draws the living still,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
and thought of doing something to the shore
to lean against and hear in the dark,
across the sill from the outer gloom,
within, the bride in the dusk alone
a number in, but what about the brook
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,
Scorning Greatly Not To This Lean Feeding Save
now close the windows
that the birds there in all the garden round
they knelt in the leaves
in the unloading, silas does that well,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
is what to make of a diminished thing,
to stop it with a period of ink
to this lean feeding save once a year
they found a way to put a stop to it,
scorning greatly not to demand
the heart is still aching to seek,
For The Wood But One,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
they string together with a living thread,
and reaching up with a little knife,
turned into a weapon,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
something or someone watching made that gust,
love and forgetting might have carried them
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
and heat so close in; but the thought of all
in any rough place where it caught,
that in the general mowing
part of a moon was falling down the west,
For Again It Turned To Fly,
one from our trees, one far away,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
and nothing happened, day was all but done,
come over the hills and far with me,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
and all the rest for them permissible ease,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
so late-arising, to the broken moon
About Our Place Among The Sky;
"warren!"
for this is love and nothing else is love,
but strictly held by none, is loosely bound
nor was the grass itself your real concern,
but the last choice is still the same;
though some savants make earth include the sky;
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
about our place among the infinities,
coming and going all the time, they are,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
But They Would Have The Better Claim,
about love;
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
and yet, in view of how many things,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
and having perhaps the better claim,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
a quiet light, and then not even that,
From Which To Square
even as on earth, in paradise;
than with brooks taken otherwhere in song,
dooryard and road ungraded,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
that struck the earth,
a narrow passage all the way around,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
what but design of darkness to appall?
make up your mind to die in state,
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
from which to gather your gown,
to which you give the assenting voice,'
Then Come Back To It And At
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
and then come back to it and begin over,
and started down the gully,
the lowest chamber window on the east,
the clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
and at the other end the microscope,
holding the curve of one position,
in the pain that has but one close,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
across the sill from the outer gloom,
and at the other end the microscope,
To Be,
broad-shouldered little slabs there in the sunlight
years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
they plant dead trees for living, and the dead
and simply staying possesses all
so now and never any different,"
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
women and men will make them all the same,
that would have joined the house in flame
they were content to figure in the trees
and question what of the night to be,
to wash the steps with pail and rag,
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
to think of the right thing to say too late,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
Taut With The Wood But One,
by a misty fen that rang all night,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
and the northern lights that run like tingling nerves,
taut with the dew from garden bed to eaves,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
a bride, to help take care of such a creature,
and a last sounding word to say,
anything special you're a-mind to name,
But After All Where Are We?
but work ain't all, len undertakes too much,
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
and often they brought so much to say
so close to our dwelling place?
we've looked and looked, but after all where are we?
but we were england's, still colonials,
said some of the best things we ever said,
I Have Come By The Night-hawks Peopling Heaven,
i have come by the highway home,
i dream upon the night-hawks peopling heaven,
i was afraid, in brightening first on me,
oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
that tinged the atmosphere,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
but once within the wood, we paused
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
there were enough things to be thought of then,
how else? they are not known to send the dead
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
With Doors That None But The Other Way
off he goes always when i need him most,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
unless len took the notion, which he won't,
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
trying to sell his farm and then not selling,
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
of ever coming to the place again
you went to meet the shell's embrace of fire
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
going the other way and they not seen it,
warren, i wish you could have heard the way
if you had any feelings, you that dug
didn't feel anything, and if it did,
