Poems about door
When It Told To Me Today
lest back the awful door should spring,
until the fight is done;
when it begun or if there were
but were it told to me today
That You Are Mine
that i could fear a door,
eyes were not meant to know,
and doubt that you are mine
when that you met it with before
Could Fear A Door,
that i could fear a door,
and could she, further, "no"?
ah, too, it has a wing,
as i, who testify it
and so and so had been to me,
unless they didn't come
if it had no word,
turn on me when i fail or feign,
i shall not fear mistake
So I Could Fear A Door,
that some are like my own,
that i could fear a door,
she cannot keep her place,
i will forget the light,
i never saw the sea;
so i let him lead me home,
and he was barefoot, i'm afraid!
you said that i "was great" one day
is it dead find it
That I Was Gone And When I Was
too much pathos in their faces
i made my soul familiar with her extremity
while i was gone and i too late
i'm so accustomed to my fate
seems it to my hooded thinking
that i could fear a door,
and when i was not heeding,
the door as sudden shut, and i,
unit, like death, for whom?
and if they have to try,
Altho' I Could Fear A Smile, To Think
that i could fear a door
altho' i prove it, just in time
praying that i might be
i know, and they know me;
so well that i can live without
to think just how the fire will burn
they ask but our delight
life is what we make of it
the lightning playeth all the while
this being comfort then
a smile, to show you, when this deep
and hit a world, at every plunge,
the dying as it were a height
As Tall As It
never had a doubt
the dying as it were a height
as if the sea should part
but when the news be ripe
is it dead find it
and after that is none
and are today if we exist
and know no other way
and so and so had been to me,
begin, and leave thee out
and lift it up to thee,
then they will hasten to the door
not that we did, shall be the test
i could not have defined the change
if i were as tall as they?
Is Where The Leaves Conferred
ourselves are conscious he exist
is where the angels are
its past set down before the soul
and yet existence some way back
it gains the block and now it gains the door
to my quick ear the leaves conferred
it burns distinct from all the row
Hope It Would Be Too Surrendered
the bee is not afraid of me,
that i could fear a door,
how goblin it would be
to whom this would have pointed me
tell him just how the fingers hurried
hope it was that kept me warm
if the life be too surrendered
to be alive is power
when one turned smiling to the land
it only moved as do the suns
some one the sum could tell
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,
That The While To Poise
for frequent, all my sense obscured
so seemed to choose my door
it takes me all the while to poise
when it has just contained a life
is made a secret to unfold
it's somewhat in the cold
but that the little figure
that such was not the posture
the summit is not given
in the parcel be the merchant
just two the bearer
but that will hold
a fear will urge it where
they can afford a sun
it should not be among
Chid My Fingers
and lest i cry
i woke and chid my honest fingers,
i've diamonds on my fingers
but when spades had done
and came my way no more,
and put it in the drawer,
and now before the door
a day when it was not,
Sometimes, I Have So Much To Do
that i could fear a door,
i offered her no word
and been myself that easy thing
i have so much to do
i'll tell it you
and told him what i'd like, today,
sometimes, i think that noon
we are far too grand
oh, if i were the gentleman
what word had they, for me?
and be with you tonight!
you'll know it by the row of stars
how pleased they were, at what you said
But If Eager For The Shame
that, weary of this beggar's face
the date, and manner, of the shame
not period that died,
he seek conviction, that be this
three times he would not go
most i love the cause that slew me,
but if the lady come
if eager for the dead
the wind does working like a hand,
lest back the awful door should spring,
until they lock it in the grave,
oh, dear, i guess if he were a boy
he'd be too tall, the tallest one
For It Hinder So Late "consider" Me
what could it hinder so to say?
that you so late "consider" me
"i'm midnight" need the midnight say
you and i the secret
i should have had the joy
since i could never find her
so seemed to choose my door
and mine the door
for it would stop my breath
were all that i could see
That Some There's A Door
who own esteem the opulence
presence is his furthest license
but prayer remained our side
so strong to know
to rest to rest would be
we must an anguish pay
i could not bear the bees should come,
the grass so little has to do
that i could fear a door
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
that some there be too numb to notice
some other thirsty there may be
not all the snows could make it white
and that is his business not ours
Till When They Reached The Light Before
no lighting, scares away
of shrinking ways she did not fright
thinking perhaps that i looked tired or alone
or quarter as i signify
and carries one out of it to god
with just the grant to do
so easy to the sky
and if the further heaven
how well i knew the light before
i tried to drop it in the crowd
till when they reached the other side,
and now before the door
and leave me standing there,
nature, like us, is sometimes caught
You Almost Feel The Awful Door Should Spring,
lest back the awful door should spring,
i should not dare to leave my friend,
the grass so little has to do
what could it hinder so to say?
so not to see us but they say
the fellow cannot touch this crown
all this and more i cannot tell
you'll find it when you try to die
you almost feel the date
it would hurt us were we awake
as harass us like life and death
you taught me fortitude of fate
the grace so unavoidable
that but for love of us
How Prayer Would It From The Rest Have
how prayer would feel to me
i'm so accustomed to my fate
i'm not afraid to know
i liked as well to see
i wondered which would miss me, least,
how could i of him?
did i not take it from the ways
than the rest have gone,
so seemed to choose my door
and would it feel as big
so instead of getting to heaven, at least
Nor Definitely What It Had Not Been So
that i could fear a door
for somewhat that it saw?
nor definitely what it was,
and if it had not been so far
When Cerements Let Go The Breath
just let go the breath
when cerements let go
what would i give to see his face?
i would not mind the journey there
that you be not ashamed
cannot perish, though it fail
if he fear to swerve
how mean to those that see
and wonder we could care
i could not tell the date of mine,
that i could fear a door,
perhaps you'd like to buy a flower,
touch liberty then know no more,
and why it was so still
i got so i could stir the box
Behind The Eyes Of God!
as hands the grave had grimed
unto the thought before,
behind the eyes of god,
before the door of god!
But Been Mistake
that deaden suffering;
but he that hath endured
that i could fear a door
or i should fear to pause
what if they hear me!
and no one visit me
had all my life but been mistake
because we love the wound
The Anguish And Now It Gains The Anguish
itself can rest upon
of expectation also
the anguish and the loss
where we with late celestial face
it gains the block and now it gains the door
i tried to drop it in the crowd
and made as he would eat me up
one came the road that i came
Afraid! Of Whom Am I Might Surprise
afraid! of whom am i afraid?
that i could fear a door,
i might surprise his eye!
make me a picture of the sun
for his mean sake to leave the row
Then Shut The Door
never could to me
i too if he
could i then shut the door
then stepped more fast
that knows not an until
that was a former time
That Were The Lady Come
hurled my belief
myself distinguished god
but since jesus dared
that heaven permit so meek as her
you must forget the warmth he gave,
because he's sunrise and i see
they said that jesus always came
where presence is denied them,
where is the may
that were the little load
that i might have the sky
but if the lady come
i wished a way might be
and then i heard them lift a box
and now, before the door
As It Was His It May
of our immortal mind
and that is his business not ours
but the success was his it seems
as it has usual done
which door is mine and not
or is this death's experiment
but the fir is where declare
be judgment what it may
it was not for me
Then Steered The Right To View The Night,
then steered the white moth thither in the night?
and the moth carried like a paper kite,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
one back and forward, in and out of shadow,
to find fused in another star,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
to better its perch for the night,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
before i came to view the levelled scene,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
But There Was No Wonder I Thought That
but there was no one, i was somewhere wondering
no wonder i was glad to get away,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
but i have promises to keep,
"when was i ever anything but kind to him?
"if you do!"she was opening the door wider,
blurred it, blotted it out, what was that whiteness?
it seems forever
the woods around it have it - it is theirs,
not so much larger than a bedroom, is it?
as it ran light, or had to bear a load,
just as you will till it becomes a habit,
a board is the best weapon if you have it,
So, But That He Knows In Singing Not
we don't cut off from coming to church suppers,
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
pointed our thoughts the way we pointed it,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
so, but the hand was gone already,
but that he knows in singing not to sing,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
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,
Across The Flowers Beside Them, Chill And Shiver,
and dreaming, as it were, held brotherly speech
bearing it crushed and mystified,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
drawing the slow waves whiter and whiter and whiter,
across the lines of straighter darker trees,
the doctor put him in the dark of ether,
turn the poet out of door,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
They Were Welcome To Beg And Be Beholden,'
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
before the coming of the snow,
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
to go with the drift of things,
"i think his brother ought to help, of course,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
and yet too ready to believe the most,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
they were welcome to their belief,
so he won't have to beg and be beholden,'
but it were vain to tell her so,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
half in appeal, but half as if to keep
as i walked once round it in possession,
and then he flew as far as eye could see,
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,
Sweeping Round It With A Sound Beside
my sash is lowered when night comes on;
some sympathy was wasted on the house,
and work was little in the house,
the well was dry beside the door,
and a cold chill shivered across the lake,
and sweeping round it with a flaming sword,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
but upsilon which is the greek for you,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
for what they�d better wait till we have done,
i don't learn what their names are, let alone
i'll sit and see if that small sailing cloud
and sorry i could not travel both
But Still Lies Pointed As I Walked Once
as i walked once round it in possession,
but still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust,
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
a tree beside the wall stands bare,
the he shut down the trap door with a ring in it
the wood was grey and the bark warping off it
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
For Him To Carry It Was The Case
it seemed god let thee flutter from his gentle clasp,
and ever it was intended so,
the beauties she so truly sees,
saying, and she could have him, and before
but that he knows in singing not to sing,
of really never having meant to keep it,
and that was the case to carry it in,
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
These Nights,
'i wonder,' i say, 'who the owner of those is,'
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
in the unloading, silas does that well,
besides the grave,
and left no trace but the cellar walls,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
more than you have yourself, some of these nights,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
and often they brought so much to say
so as to say for certain i was here
and i looked to be happy, and i was,
and setting sun to hyla brook, i gave it
my long scythe whispered and left the hay to make,
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
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,
Carries Him Out Of The Trail,"
and then there was a pile of wood for which
carries him out of there,
out of the woods, worn out upon the trail,"
turn the poet out of door,
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,
Like A Beast's Stall, To That Height?
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
and a shout greets the daring one,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
but turns to pink between the teeth,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
through some delay, and call you to your face
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
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,
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,
Having Perhaps The Wish Was Strong,
but with one step backward taken
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
and having perhaps the better claim,
and none are taken but who will,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
and having perhaps the better claim,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
and having perhaps the better claim,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
The Other End The Middle Of Them All,
the lurking frost in the earth beneath
the bridegroom came forth into the porch
and at the other end the microscope,
and work was little in the house,
then sit down in the middle of them all,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
the woods come back to the mowing field;
to the dark and lament,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
and make us happy in the darting bird
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
Where No Human Race Is,
between stars - on stars where no human race is,
with which the modern world is being swept,
the work of hunters is another thing,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
and where they sought without the sword
the hard snow held me, save where now and then
and to the forest edge you came one day
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
to see for once the inside of his house,
and still the bird revisited her young,
The Beady Spider, The Wind Out Of
the first tool i step on
if i was not to speak of it to you
and often they brought so much to say
i shall have less to say,
what had how long it takes a birch to rot
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
in one last look the way they must not go,
but not long since in the lumber camps,
where the boughs rain when it blows,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
the headless aftermath,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
and the awe passes wonder then,
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,
Dooryard And Having Scared The Watching For That
everywhere,
dooryard and road ungraded,
and holding by the stalk,
and having scared the cellar under him
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
to every thing on earth the compass round,
on waking to find valor reign,
on through the watching for that early birth
the sound was behind me instead of before,
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,'
Her In The Sound Was Behind Me
the sound was behind me instead of before,
men of the woods and lumberjacks,
with the breath of many flowers,
and her in the angle of house and barn
to meet him in the doorway with the news
to do with what was in the darkened parlour?
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,
Scorning Greatly Not To Become Intelligible, At Least
one had to be versed in country things
but yield who will to their separation,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
scorning greatly not to demand
I Heard You Thought That�we All Thought That�we
don't say i didn't, for i heard you say
and i must say it dealt
my dears, my dears, you thought that�we all thought it,
i have but to turn on my arm, and lo,
for he turned suddenly grave as if to say,
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
and the sun came out to dry me,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
Turn The World, And Taking Formal Position,
and taking formal position,
and looked at the world, and descended;
and the nature of time and space,
affection or the want of it in that state,
in the seat of my sense,
turn the poet out of door,
bent over the open fire,
and at the other end the microscope,
holding the curve of one position,
of the populace
His Door,
and so i dream of going back to be,
and often they brought so much to say
and tossing so as to scare
sudden and swift and light as that
across the wall as near the wall as they,
will run as hushed as when they were a thought
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
his icicles along the wall to keep;
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
Me,
for what they�d better wait till we have done,
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
but now for me than you the other way,
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
toward the throne to witness there
there where he moved the rocks to plow the ground
to meet him in the doorway with the news
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a star in two or three, the way you split
then sit down in the middle of them all,
forever the noise of these
the dust of snow
Had Brought To Have Been Its Mark,
seems to owe naught to any single cord,
had brought to rest,
they were welcome to their belief,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
to rest from his besetting fears,
to seek the happy isles together,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
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,
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
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,
She,
so small the window frames the whole of it,
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
but still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
and the sun shrunken yellow in smoke,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
that tinged the atmosphere,
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
turn the poet out of door,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
The Rocks He Mixed That In The Time
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
when a friend calls to me from the road
and it seems like the time when after doubt
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
the way he mixed that in with other things,
and plowed between the rocks he couldn't move,
The Same,
but thought has need of no such things,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
that tinged the atmosphere,
the way he mixed that in with other things,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
with sorrow and dread,
and since there were but two of them,
of many times his size,
Now The Inside Of His House,
its light poured softly in her lap, she saw
to see for once the inside of his house,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
the way he mixed that in with other things,
one foot went down, the view was all in lines
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
the well was dry beside the door,
