Poems about distance
Tell Me So
the distance would not haunt me so
they say it doesn't hurt
when was it can you tell
when something broke
justify him though
that they have done expecting me
tell me how far the morning leaps
and i have ceased to wonder why
Not On A Gem!
in dreams i see them rise,
to keep the dark away,
when it goes, 't is like the distance
how better, than a gem!
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
they're here, though; not a creature failed
remind him, would it not, somewhat
and made as he would eat me up
and leave me standing there,
he had not on a crown indeed,
if you would like to borrow,
but swear, and i will let you by,
not yet, our eyes can see
you could hear the bodice tug, behind you
and back it slid and i alone
Some Kiss It
the missing all prevented me
the distance would not haunt me so
and every time i speak for him
i should not fear the foe then
i only must not change so fair
i know it, by the numb look
lie between them now,
some touch it, and some kiss it
and put a flower on it
to any happy flower,
heaven to us, if true,
and would delight to see
anonymous delight to know
she'd pass for barehead short way off
perhaps i couldn't
If I
the missing all prevented me
the distance would not haunt me so
if blame be my side forfeit me
because he knows it cannot speak
i shall know why when time is over
day knocked and we must part
he longer must than i
if i could find it anywhere
what plenty it would be
you almost feel the date
to own it touch it
i sometimes drop it, for a quick
just when the grave and i
one sister have i in our house,
Who Knows But At The Face
the distance would not haunt me so
and what itself, will say to me
how foreign that can be
it would be life
yet not too far to come at call
who knows but at the sight of that
that sense was breaking through
turn it, a little full in the face
i used to when a boy
and put a stone to keep it warm
forget! the lady with the amulet
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
i'm not afraid to know
The Name I Pushed With Sudden
a prank nobody knew but them
the distance would not haunt me so
what if they hear me!
when i have lost, you'll know by this
though she forget the name i bear
i supposed when sudden
and he i pushed with sudden force
and not begin again
and finished knowing then
Than The Time
the distance would not haunt me so
the crier's voice would tell me
show me the bells
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
so, i could buy it
sometimes, i think that noon
if i may have it, when it's dead,
because it's sunday all the time
if one wake at midnight better
the waves grew sleepy breath did not
earth would have been too much i see
more fair, because impossible
than the rest have gone,
that never had a name
is it dead find it
It Lord Of Them
and what itself, will say to me
the distance would not haunt me so
it always felt to me a wrong
prove me sweet if i regret it
forget it lord of them
there is one farther than you
it suggests to our faith
was competent to me
to this world she returned,
i shall be perfect in his sight
what day be dark to me
would cost me just a life!
but could it teach it?
do we deserve a thing
say "when tomorrow comes this way
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
This One Do Or Dare
that something it did do or dare
and this one do not feel the same
i wonder if it hurts to live,
provided it do hopeless hang,
if things were opposite and me
so glad we are a stranger'd deem
possibly, this moment
so huge, so hopeless to conceive,
the distance would not haunt me so
so i can see which way to go
did you ever stand in a cavern's mouth
the world, will have its own to do
dreams are well but waking's better,
it could not hold a sigh
The Sleet Then
yet was not the foe of any
i shall not feel the sleet then
unto the scene that we do not
neither place need i present him
forgive me, if the grave come slow
the distance would not haunt me so
so short way off it seems
it was not sickness then
he hurts a little, though
some things that stay there be
came once a world did you?
I Wondered Which Would Not Haunt Me Down
my sovereign will relent?
the emperor will say?
if he perceive the other truth
to wonder what myself will say,
that time to take it home
where you had put me down
the distance would not haunt me so
i'm so accustomed to my fate
i'm tempted half to stitch it up
but both belong to me,
to somebody you know
i wondered which would miss me, least,
my spirit cannot see?
and he would come again
Precious To Me Up
when they let go the ignominy smiling
the lonesome for they know not what
and that is his business not ours
as if they just repressed
the distance would not haunt me so
when it begun or if there were
nor could i rise with you
precious to me she still shall be
and put a stone to keep it warm
hope it was that kept me warm
and made as he would eat me up
to hold my life for me
i'll hand it to the angel
what day be dark to me
But Since
death leaves us homesick, who behind,
uncertain if myself, or he,
nor had i time to love, but since
but if he ask where you are hid
when i have lost, you'll know by this
i only must not change so fair
and then it doesn't stay
when it goes, 't is like the distance
ungained, it may be, by a life's low venture,
how better, than a gem!
a pope, or something of that kind!
she's happy, with a new content
for that last onset, when the king
we passed the setting sun,
