Poems about dust
Although I Knew
and therefore 'twas not pain
although i put away his life
i could not have told it,
i ceded all of dust i knew
not to cry tim and i
it puzzled me to know
should you but fail at sea
such an one to say
as that the slave is gone,
the thought to be alive
is it always pleasant there
that when i could not find it
my spirit cannot see?
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
The Good Will Of A Yellow Eye
to whom he could entrust his wavering gaze
the nearer they departed us
the dust behind i strove to join
on whom i lay a yellow eye
the dead shall go in white
we are the flower thou the sun!
the good will of a flower
could but a crier of the joy
With Me,
in dying 'tis as if our souls
and come away with me,
the single to some lives,
with but a fraction of the life
and overtaken in the dark
themselves the verge of seas to be
when ourselves were also dusty
Then 'twas Put Among The Shortness Up
of me in christ's bright audience
when death lit all the shortness up
and then 'twas put among the dust
and so we move as far
but something held my will,
it was not frost, for on my flesh
a wisdom without face or name,
this world is not conclusion,
if i should fail, what poverty!
Better Of It Followed Me
my sovereign will relent?
i told my soul to sing
how prayer would feel to me
of mines, i little know myself
i rose it followed me
he hurts a little, though
through faith in one he met not,
and he and he in mighty list
grew by the fact, and not the understanding
not for itself, the dust is shy,
better of it continual be afraid
are present to us as our own
such trust had one among us,
The Only One
the soul condemned to be
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
death, the only one
of the seasons and the sun,
upon the mortal side,
the dust did scoop itself like hands
The Time!
then my face take her recompense
before he comes we weigh the time!
and then as if the hands
the dust did scoop itself like hands
there hangs a smaller ear
when one has failed to stop them
that if the spirit like to hide
and thought of them so fair invites
Nor Can See
the dust, will vex your fame
nor can you tell me
and that is his business not ours
for their sake not for ours
as crew of mountains could afford
when gentlemen can see
for these were only put to death
for evidence it be the grace
that happen on the soul
are nothing to the bee
do not you
could it be madness this?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
the way i read a letter's this
It Were A Whim Of His
that heaven permit so meek as her
except it were a whim of his
it only moved as do the suns
in the dust, be thrown?
some think it service in the place
it just held two, nor those it held
a pope, or something of that kind!
yet was not the foe of any
without the fear to justify
Could I Do Aught Else To Be Alive
it feels a shame to be alive
they put us far apart
would it stop whining if to thee
could i do aught else to thee?
was't grace?
not that
it only can suffice!
humming for promise when alone
the dust connect and live
Grave Saints Stole Out To See Us But
with him remain who unto me
grave saints stole out to look at me
did they come back no more?
how well i knew the light before
i kept it in my hand
instead i'll say of gem
i guess
i'll tell you how the sun rose,
i can't tell you but you feel it
no fear you'll miss the road,
we go no further with the dust
so not to see us but they say
In The Meal-sack Didn't Catch Then,
i made the bed up for him there to-night,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
had wound strings round and round it like a bundle,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
and over the walls i have wended;
i have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
in hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break
for its suggestion of what dreams!
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
holding the curve of one position,
Slave To Break A Great Wave From It
but i may be one who does not care
i have to be gone for a season or so,
it never will show much flower or fruit,
going the other way and they not seen it,
and broken it, and used therefrom
though it still could sing,
a great wave from it going over them,
and once she went to break a bough
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
of their worth for you to treasure,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
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 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,
Yet, What Was That Was That Reckless
behind light words that tease and flout,
and living people, and things they understand,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
a brook to none but who remember long,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
and long to know if still i held them dear,
for the least sin, it wouldn't take us long
what should that reckless zephyr fling
how no one dead will seem to come,
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
next to nothing for weight,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
To Feel The Gunnel Of Flowers Growing
footprints in summer dust as if we drew
as if to prove saws knew what supper meant,
to feel the earth as rough
as full to the gunnel of flowers growing
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
I Shall Set Forth For Every Parcel I
i shall set forth for somewhere,
for every parcel i stoop down to seize
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
but he turned first, and led my eye to look
and her face changed from terrified to dull,
what had that flower to do with being white,
She's Glad The Highway Dust Is Over
at one stroke of a match, brad had to turn
had it been the will of the wind, was left
but that was in the woods, to hold my hand
the fire itself can put it out, and that
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
but never anymore the dead,
she's glad the birds are gone away,
he says the highway dust is over all,
For Flowers
that day she put our heads together,
he says that leaves are old and that for flowers
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
he would put him onto the case,
so long as he would leave enough unsaid,
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
erect, but not without its waves, as when
were not, as 'twere, the merest mask of gloom,
Far Off The Middle,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
like the elves in the wood?
something down there to smile at in the dust,
but from sheer morning gladness at the brim,
and a chain at his side,
part of a moon was falling down the west,
and the nature of time and space,
the picture pride of hollywood,
the deed of gift was many deeds of war
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
and have stopped dying now forever,
and still the bird revisited her young,
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
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,
He's Come To Help You Ditch The
to express how much it didn't want to die,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
and making the best of their way back to life
to white rest, and a place of rest
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
I'll Only Stop To See If Still Lies
i'll only stop to rake the leaves away
and long to know if still i held them dear,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
going the other way and they not seen it,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
but still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust,
To Their Separation,
we didn't change without some sacrifice,
with womenfolk, we could have some arrangement
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
but yield who will to their separation,
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
but if it had to perish twice,
to pick where none could miss them
