Poems about dance
It's Thoughts And The Earth They Never
steady my soul, what issues
it's thoughts and just two heart
and the earth they tell me
still to show how rich i go
i cannot dance upon my toes
i have heard but one
'twas not so much as david had
with moss they never grew so full
eyes were not meant to know,
was such still dwelling there?
and wondered what they did there
I Think A Little Well Like To Come
what if i burst the fleshly gate
i cannot dance upon my toes
i think a little well like mine
i shouldn't like to come
It Seemed The Lonely Road,
and dwell a little everywhere
a stranger pressed a kingdom,
upon the lonely road,
light laughs the breeze in her castle of sunshine;
a wind with fingers goes,
since heaven and he are one,
oh the earth was made for lovers, for damsel, and hopeless swain,
what more the woman can,
death is but one and comes but once
it seemed the common way,
why, look out for the little brook in march,
all things do go a courting, in earth, or sea, or air,
myself and it, in majesty
and all day long, with dance and game,
without that forcing, in my breath
They Were Content To Bear A Heart To
they were content to figure in the trees
the meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
with straining in the world's embrace,
we dance round in a ring and suppose,
and sweeping round it with a flaming sword,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
as it ran light, or had to bear a load,
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
That Shouted In His Hand,
he bore a green-white stick in his hand,
that shouted in the mist a month ago,
but in a moment not, a little spurt
a telescope, someone in every town
like a limp rose-wreath in a fairy dance,
Scared The River;
its two banks have not shut upon the river;
and show on the water its crystal teeth,
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
like a limp rose-wreath in a fairy dance,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
and a hush falls for all acclaim,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
the roadside flowers, too wet for the bee,
autumn, yes, winter was in the wind;
in clomping off; and scared the outer night,
at broken windows flew out and in,
in summertime with a witching wand,
and a gem-flower waved in a wand!
