Poems about fact
Deny That He Was Dead
how prayer would feel to me
a book i have a friend gave
deny that i am dead
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
They Cannot Put Away
distils uncertain pain
might death enable thee
the fact of famine could not be
they cannot put away
Because We Love The Jealous Grass
lest the jealous grass
because we love the wound
a doubt if it be us
the fact of famine could not be
I Had No Cause To Be Standing Here
for fear the squirrels know,
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
i had no cause to be awake
are mostly so to me,
but not so soon
that there be standing here
are so high up you see
they cannot take me any more!
i learned at least what home could be
i think i won't however
i could not bear the bees should come,
i shall not fear the snow,
i felt the wilderness roll back
i kept it in my hand
Three Times We Parted Breath And I Looked
nor to dream he and me
of meeting them afraid
thinking perhaps that i looked tired or alone
three times we parted breath and i
when skill entreated it the last
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
alas, that wisdom is so large
Than Perish From The Sting
lest if he flinch the eye that way
did i not take it from the ways
to rest to rest would be
it's all i have to bring to-day,
and all we need of hell,
news is he of all the others;
than perish from the chance's list
the fact of famine could not be
that could not stop to be a king
teach him when he makes the names
that like the drunkard goes
yet blamed the fate that flung it less
tastes death the first to hand the sting
and sore must be the storm
All The Universe To Know!
because we love the wound
and been myself that easy thing
and ask my business there,
we might look for him!
the universe to know!
this just makes out the morning sky,
and all the dead lie down,
good to know, and not tell,
grew by the fact, and not the understanding
it was as if a bobolink
but unapproached it stands
it begs you give it work
it feels so old a pain,
as that the slave is gone,
such an one to say
But 'twas The Grace That I Was Chose
at what o'clock to heaven they fled
the grace that i was chose
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
'twas crisis all the length had passed
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 World
and overtaken in the dark
the light his action, and the dark
this is my letter to the world
it takes me all the while to poise
it only moved as do the suns
the fact of famine could not be
of shrinking ways she did not fright
But 'twas The Fact That He Loved Men
by suffering despair
relate when neighbors die
that he loved men
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
was it goliath was too large
You Would Awaken Them!
decades of arrogance between
grandfather of the days is he
as even in the sky
you would not know it from the drifts
that time to take it home
maybe that would awaken them!
too near to god to pray
'tis able as a god
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
nor will he like the dumb
more hands to hold these are but two
as we who never can
say last i said was this
and why it was so still
There Are Two Ripenings One Of Famine Could
lest the phantasm prove the mistake
the maker of ourselves be what
there are two ripenings one of sight
the fact of famine could not be
may be easier reached this way
you almost feel the date
we miss her, not because we see
it cannot be again
The Only Fact
denial is the only fact
without the other therefore
when one has failed to stop them
the day that i shall go
three times he would not go
i fear that he is grand
till love that was and love too best to be
not for me to prate about it!
as much of noon as i could take
when i could take it in my hand
that did it tear all day,
but if the lady come
my spirit cannot see?
what i see not, i better see
He Ought To Our Dwelling Place?
they cannot look out far,
and ought to do some good if splitting stars
i'll see to that if there is need, he ought of right
`the best thing that we're put here for's to see;
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
so close to our dwelling place?
nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
who was so foolish as to think what he thought,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
the fact is the sweetest dream that labour knows,
but the theory now goes
he says the best way out is always through,
