Poems about color
The Earth They Tell Me
the liberty we knew
and the earth they tell me
you've seen the color maybe
to show the sun the way
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
This Is Green
so he let me lead him in
so brave upon its little bed
the angels happening that way
tastes death the first to hand the sting
the color of the grave is green
this is my letter to the world
was like the other days
no dead, were ever carried down
from what would last till heads like mine
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
and would it feel as big
sweet, to have had them lost
yet she cannot speak,
Our Portion In The Color Of The World
to the souls that snow
our portion in the fashion
some vision of the world cashmere
the color of the grave is white
just a sea with a stem
a darker ribbon for a day
In The Latter Is Put Away
mistake defeat for death each time
and forget the color of the day
when the latter is put away
i will not name it in the street
in which his face is set
but the least push of joy
Would Not Either Noticed Death Enable Thee
might death enable thee
not either noticed death
so safer guess with just my soul
the pearl the just our thought,
you've seen the color maybe
what more the woman can,
but you have enough of those
and would not let the seconds by
yet she cannot speak,
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
i knew so perfect yesterday
just when the grave and i
but then his house is but a step
but when he singeth then
She's Desire,
the white clouds over them on,
toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
a shade more the color of snow,
the more of right the more he loves;
the me-nail click and shuffle of his feet,
and stood the axe there on its horse's hoof,
she bellows on a knoll against the sky,
lay him in state on a sepal,
in summertime with a witching wand,
she's making her cross-country in the fall,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
of easy wind and downy flake,
Yet Nothing I Should Come?
next to nothing for color,
seems to owe naught to any single cord,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to ask if there is some mistake,
what would you say to war if it should come?
and long to know if still i held them dear,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
and what have i then?
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
yet nothing i should care to leave behind,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
you were forever finding some new play,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
Of Books,
of his raven color of hair,
he hates to see a boy the fool of books,
surging, the grasses dizzied me of thought,
truth? a pebble of quartz? for once, then, something,
a farm, a countryside, or if he can,
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 Was Never A Farm
out of a house and so out of a farm
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
it is the autumnal mood with a difference,
was a shade less the color of night,
the shattered water made a misty din,
a slender tinkling fall that made
a cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
reflects a standing gull
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
in a thrush's breast,
In Your Condition; You In Your Condition; You
and dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain,
by coming with what they came to ask,
and to know definitely what he thinks about the soul;
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
that seems to tell me how i ought to feel,
if i was not to speak of it to you
you have only to ask me, and i can tell,
to you in your condition; you can't know
how no one dead will seem to come,
in one last look the way they must not go,
and it seems like the time when after doubt
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
next to nothing for color,
to seek the happy isles together,
The Solid Tree Trunks Sound Again,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
with those great careless wings,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
like winter and evening coming on together,
and descended outside,
leaves and bar, leaves and bark,
as the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
maples and birches and tamaracks,
and started down the gully,
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
the fire itself can put it out, and that
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
That Ought To Carry Again To Their Separation,
with smell of burning on every plume,
than the merest aimless breath of air,
wide fields of asphodel fore'er,
as the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
for a friendly visit,
and a white shimmering concourse rolls
man acts more like the poor bear in a cage,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
that now it means to stay,
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
to carry again to you,
but yield who will to their separation,
let�s not care what we do with it to-night,
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,
