Poems about fence
That Could Make A Rose
but the least push of joy
he sometimes holds upon the fence
that could not stop to be a king
if god could make a visit
the things that death will buy
not if to talk with me
i hear him ask the servant
if i could bribe them by a rose
That Makes Two Him And Come Next Hour
continual upon me
he sometimes holds upon the fence
though it be darkness there;
not yet, our eyes can see
and come next hour to look,
modest, let us walk among it
that makes two him and life!
To Think The Trees
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
for you to doubt the likelihood,
to know that for destruction ice
and to whom i was like to give offence,
you wanted to restore them to their right
that brought me to my feet to hold it back
that seems to tell me how i ought to feel,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
Care For And Old Where The Woods
and on the worn book of old-golden song
the blows that a life of self-control
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
to take your mother-loss of a first child
out of the winter things he fashions a story of modern love,
carries him out of there,
men of the woods and lumberjacks,
of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
and care for them in such a change of scene
of those who for some good discerned
of what you came for and become like me,
for whom these lines when they shall greet her eye,
That Tinged The Sun
the trial by existence
the obscuration upon earth,
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
and roll back down the mound beside the hole,
and a cold chill shivered across the lake,
that tinged the atmosphere,
and the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,
the breeze three odors brought,
doubtless bear names that the mosses mar,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
and dead wings carried like a paper kite,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
and warn them away with a stick for a gun,
Wished Her Heart In A Garden Of
it stands in a garden of old-fashioned roses,
and wished her heart in a case of gold
without the gift of sight,
the body of one of their dead
thus of old the douglas did,
a temple of the heat,
short of the perch their languid flight was toward;
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
a temple of the heat,
the figure of our being less that two
all song of the woods is crushed like some
so small the window frames the whole of it,
the measure of the little while
thought cleaves the interstellar gloom
Don't Carry It With Him For A Spell
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
by setting it out on a northerly slope,
how was it with him for a second trial,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
to warm the frozen swamp as best it could
to whoever the knock
for you to doubt the likelihood,
what had that flower to do with being white,
and to whom i was like to give offence,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to express how much it didn't want to die,
don't carry it to someone else this time,
they leave us so to the way we took,
not for me to ask which, when what he took
Striking, Break Their Own;
had wound strings round and round it like a bundle,
and reaching up with a little knife,
throwing a leg up over our fence of mountains,
and slept, the log that shifted with a jolt
and every fleck of russet showing clear,
a sort of catch-all full of attic clutter,
of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
assorted characters of death and blight
of carrying his pillow in his teeth;
upon the full moon's side of the first haycock
for heaven and the future's sakes,
her fingers moved the latch for all reply,
spares to strike for the common good,
But Tree, I Know That This Is Way
he says again, "good fences make good neighbors,"
but, warren, please remember how it is,
i know that this is way in ours,
but tree, i have seen you taken and tossed,
and sorry i could not travel both
but the mountains i raise
i remember that i did,
"i can tell you,
i don't know rightly whether any man can,"
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
i didn't want the blame if things went wrong,
don't carry it to someone else this time,
to make me sad to go,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
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,
Will Rot The Best Birch Fence A Spell-breaking,
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
will rot the best birch fence a man can build,'
the footpath down to the well is healed,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
with the same pains you use to fill a cup
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
