Poems about fir
Who Knows But At The Estimate
who knows but at the sight of that
this time beyond the estimate
the witnessing, to us
you, sir, taught first to me,
You Had Eyes In Your Pages
that this way thou could'st notice me
they cannot take me any more!
you cannot put a fire out
and then you wished you had eyes in your pages
To Show The Way
through the strait pass of suffering
to show the sun the way
came out to look at me,
but, looking back the first so seems
But Just To Hear The Sooty Faces
never mind the sooty faces
but just to hear the grace depart
first time they try the sky!
till i could take the balance
Is A Little Doubt And Fear,
each little doubt and fear,
that such a little figure
the lightning was as new
before the fire's eyes
and is the first, to rise
but dying is a different way
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
so well that i can live without
"heaven" is what i cannot reach!
oh, wouldn't you?
what word had they, for me?
i may remember him!
May Not Stop To One Who Never Felt
and still my heart my eye outweighs
i think a little well like mine
i used to when a boy
a party that we knew
that could not stop to be a king
the love a life can show below
may not our second with its first
i found the phrase to every thought
to one who never felt it blaze
and wishes had he any
promise this when you be dying
absence disembodies so does death
by my long bright and longer trust
Forever Might Be Short, I Thought To Us
the witnessing, to us
our souls saw just as well
that they have done expecting me
forever might be short, i thought to show
that was all i cared to know,
i dreaded that first robin so,
i, lost, was passing by
That Is The Other's One Had Been
and show me to my fears
so soon to be a child no more
a rich man might not notice it
a first fair going
is when the cars have come
for heaven is a different thing,
that is the break of day!
the other's one had been
Should I Think Just How My Shape Will
stealthy cocoon, why hide you so
i think just how my shape will rise
should i again experience
say "when tomorrow comes this way
but, looking back the first so seems
they tell it to the hills
But, Looking Back The Place, With All My
how ill the creatures bear
i never saw the sea;
i left the place, with all my might
and i am all alone
it puzzled me to know
perhaps you think me stooping
a needless life, it seemed to me
next time, the things to see
but, looking back the first so seems
to see that none is due?
So When You Praised Me, Sweet,
and we behold no more,
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
a heaven not so large as yours,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
so when 't was time to see,
neither if he visit other
I Can Do I Who Heard It
need you unto him
give spices unto men
a woman white to be
better than music! for i who heard it
or if it sometime showed as 'twill
but just a crumb to me
when going to the barn
to think just how the fire will burn
what i can do i will
i might have chanced that way!
i'm sure 'tis india all day
i'll bear it better now
what if they hear me!
I Had No Notice Gave She, But This,
and i, and silence, some strange race
which, sir, are you and which am i
would be acuter, would it not
i had no cause to be awake
oh if there may departing be
i will not name it in the street
the things that death will buy
the first that i could recollect
but this, might be my brief term
no notice gave she, but a change
and grateful that a thing
he offers his berry, just the same
The One Aware Of Death
will be the one aware of death
the first day that i was a life
a passing universe put on,
his speech was like the push
the dying as it were a height
as even while i looked dissolved
then eddies like a rose away
how midnight felt, at first to me
by it my title take
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
To The Souls That Last Onset When Night
we who have the souls
the first day's night had come
for that last onset when the king
to the souls that snow
to tell the pretty secret
tell me how far the morning leaps
one came the road that i came
as far as it could see
include us as they go
or what the distant say
you'll know it by the row of stars
the parlor of the day!
but just to look it in the eye
that i cannot say
when night is almost done
But How The Fire Will Burn
and then to lay them quiet back
to think just how the fire will burn
where i put it down
because he knows it cannot speak
but how he set, i know not,
that never did alight,
i never would let go
he touched me, so i live to know
One Need Not Be True
no man can compass a despair
it always felt to me a wrong
better than music! for i who heard it
that this was all
without a bolt that i could prove
but you have enough of those
a gratitude that such be true
but the fir is where declare
one need not be a house
in which we first experienced light
Just Revelation To Tell
the anguish and the loss
and fear is like the one
and then the wharf is still!
and we are waiting for the coach
round our new fireside but for this
just revelation to the beloved
the walls begun to tell
the world stands solemner to me
the sages call it small
'twas warm at first like us
But, Looking Back The Easier To Have The
and if the further heaven
except the dying this to us
the easier to let go
when was it can you tell
and then, if it should be
if you should get there first
if i should bribe the little bird
not all the snows could make it white
to have the joy of feeling it again
it would never be common more i said
but, looking back the first so seems
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
except that you than he
as that same watcher, when the east
If Such It Prove Too
'tis terror as consummate
if such it prove, it prove too
but, looking back the first so seems
is all the rest i knew!
so that the sum be never hindered
i wonder if they bore it long,
That You Would Like To Tell Me Why
some know him whom we knew
but death had told her so the first
nor ever turn to tell me why
if you would like to borrow,
you'd scarce recognize him!
how better, than a gem!
when it is found, a few rejoice
that you so late "consider" me
you'll know her by her voice
Because It's Sunday All The Time
that stop-sensation on my soul
my first well day since many ill
they given us presents most you know
because it's sunday all the time
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
How Mean To Those That Were The Plenty
that were the mind dissolved
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
as one should come to town
how mean to those that see
better than music! for i who heard it
then stopped no other track!
just see if i troubled them
if you should get there first
i wished they'd stay away
nor any know i know the art
i only have it not tonight
and the world i used to know;
we learned the whole of love
to lives that thought the worshipping
"my Business But A Boundless Place To Me
and fear is like the one
as that the slave is gone,
while he was making one
he forgot and i remembered
i shan't need it then
you will know i'm trying
how they will tell the story
some that never lay
and let him hear it drip
it was a boundless place to me
"my business but a life i left
where was once a room
so miserable a sound at first
But Just Held Two, Nor Those It Was
afraid to trust the morn
to answer wherefore when he pass
it was announced to me
it just held two, nor those it held
as it has usual done
but just to look it in the eye
on the heads that started with us
but, looking back the first so seems
i keep it, staying at home
midnight good night! i hear them call,
though thine attention stop not on me
If Just As Breath Is So Far Of
nor noticed that the ebbing day
we learned to like the fire
deity will see to it
heaven is so far of the mind
if just as soon as breath is out
the bee is not afraid of me,
what portion of me be
This Is Green
so he let me lead him in
so brave upon its little bed
the angels happening that way
tastes death the first to hand the sting
the color of the grave is green
this is my letter to the world
was like the other days
no dead, were ever carried down
from what would last till heads like mine
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
and would it feel as big
sweet, to have had them lost
yet she cannot speak,
They Were The Little Hand That's
and closer to the fire
and after that there's heaven
and they were the little hand that knocked
and he would come again
see where it hurt me that's enough
As Far As One Should Get There First
pervaded her, we thought
almost as if they cared
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
then look for me, be sure you say
the bee is not afraid of me,
or think of, with a sigh
and i'd like to look a little more
that they remember me;
that would not let the will
they doubt to witness it
if you should get there first
as one should come to town
that lives like dollars must be piled
yet small she sighs if all is all
as far as it could see
Thought Belong To Love, But Since
though thine attention stop not on me
tell him just how the fingers hurried
but death had told her so the first
i've heard my father tell
tell me what time the weaver sleeps
why do they shut me out of heaven?
nor could i rise with you
i did not know the year then
nor had i time to love, but since
thought belong to him who gave it
yet both so well knew me
it has no future but itself,
it makes an even face
it only moved as do the suns
had let its pleasure through
I Do
remorse is cureless the disease
death is the other way
that were the little load
was all the one that fell
that i was found
i wonder if when years have piled
we outgrow love like other things
i dreaded that first robin so,
i reason, we could die
and answer what i do
i have so much to do
A Bird
bereavement in their death to feel
the first day that i was a life
my friend must be a bird
that this way thou could'st notice me
the day that i shall go
and a hoarse "get out of the way, i say,"
but there's the "judgement day"!
and after that there's heaven
most like their glory show
Then I Would Go, To Heaven To
too near to heaven to fear
when you were willing
i could not count their force
first time they try the sky!
so not to see us but they say
i would go, to know!
and then i started too,
and all we need of hell,
you for you, and i, for you and me
Life!
and mockery was still
but he was left alive because
but, looking back the first so seems
that makes two him and life!
Other Went To The Grief That Nestled
but not the grief that nestled close
it's thoughts and just two heart
and other went to turn the mill
one hand the tools
and closer to the fire
had it a notice from the noon
another way to see
so go your way and i'll go mine
I Did Not Know The Verge Of Seas
themselves the verge of seas to be
out upon the bay,
come, and disappear
one art to recognize, must be,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
i did not know the ample bread
i wished they'd stay away
i haven't told my garden yet
and when i sought my bed
some that never lay
more would be too vast
We're Fearing That First Day, When You Were
better of it continual be afraid
and carries one out of it to god
to him who has it and the one
as pride were all it could
but you were crowned in june
that fancied they could hold
we're fearing that their hearts will drop
we cannot count on high!
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
i too received the sign,
i ask, each new may morn,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
Her Polar Time They Will Be What
the hunger does not cease
and they will differ if they do
i meant to have but modest needs
how fitter they will be for want
the maker of ourselves be what
the lightning playeth all the while
and hungered for the same
her polar time behind
but held her gravity aloft
that held the dams had parted hold
there came one drop of giant rain,
first time they try the sky!
whether my bark went down at sea
A Night There Was A Winter Once
i pondered how the bliss would look
nature is what we know
because there was a winter once
my first well day since many ill
he waking finds the flower there
a night there lay the days between
To Like The Art To Make Me Visible
to hold our senses on
should be the art to save
they cannot put away
to make me visible
as by the dead we love to sit,
we learned to like the fire
but won't you wish you'd spared one
unless they didn't come
I Shut My Foot Amiss
of consciousness, her awful mate
that nature murmured to herself
i shut my eyes and groped as well
if i can ease one life the aching,
i must not put my foot amiss
i'm not ashamed of that
i could not bear the bees should come,
were not so shy
that such a little figure
where is the may
you cannot put a fire out
so you could see what moved them so
Now The Only One
my face to justify
there's not a charge to me
and now the chance had come
mine was the only one
the first that i could recollect
i dared to show a tress of theirs
to one who never felt it blaze
See The Thinking How Small In Those Who
the thinking how they walked alive
more life went out when he went
how midnight felt, at first to me
so i said or thought
i'm that or nought
nor ever now so sweet
though the faith accommodate but two
how small in those who live
you cannot find out all about
see the bird reach it!
how hospitable then the face
taught me by time the lower way
and be with you tonight!
Alas, That I Fear A Silent Man
i fear a silent man
she stopped a traveller's privilege for rest
yet there is a science more
but just a daisy deep
alas, that wisdom is so large
we two looked so alike
those looked that lived that day -
the face i carry with me last
the first day that i was a life
Nor Why It's T
that paralyze ourselves
and tell you all your dreams were true
and helps us to forget
that answer to our feet
it is easy to work when the soul is at play
and is the first, to rise
it's easy as a sign
a tremor just, that all's not sure,
nor where it went, nor why it came
what difference, after all, thou mak'st
It Be Before
to gain, or be undone
not audible as ours to us
say that a little life for his
to prove it possibler
it suggests to our faith
but were it told to me today
or if it be before
but, looking back the first so seems
and so around the words i went
it was a boundless place to me
supposed that he had come to dwell
myself who bore it do
without a button i could vouch
not yet, our eyes can see
If They Prefer
upon the ignorance steals
nor even of defeat aware
nor confirm by word
if what we could were what we would
are so high up you see
a bird if they prefer
and back it slid and i alone
and so and so had been to me,
and that a further and the three
a passage back or two to make
i was used to the birds before
Too Rescued Fear Too Rescued Fear Too Rescued
but our anticipation
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
you guessed from the way the sentence toiled
when they let go the ignominy smiling
let me think i'm sure
must tell!
too rescued fear too dim to me
her least attention raise on me
i took my power in my hand
a 'blossom just when i went in
if you should get there first
Yet Held My Breath, The Same
lest firmament should fail for me
they'll carry him!
and this one do not feel the same
then "great" it be if that please thee
but tell him that it ceased to feel
best grief is tongueless before he'll tell
if one wake at midnight better
yet held my breath, the while
and fear is like the one
it's thoughts and just two heart
it suggests to our faith
we grow accustomed to the dark
that arise and set about us
but tell him that it ceased to feel
The Grant To Own It Touch It Touch
just him not me
with just the grant to do
to own it touch it
without a glance my way
the drums don't follow me with tunes
some know him whom we knew
those who begin today
to lives that stand alone
and we we placed the hair
"and i for truth themself are one
include us as they go
the way ourself, must come
to think just how the fire will burn
here to light measure, move the feet
But Swear, And So Of Woe, Bleak Dreaded
and so of woe, bleak dreaded come,
but, were it two
some one the sum could tell,
i cannot tell the sum,
but swear, and i will let you by,
till that first shout got by,
the bench, where we had toiled
The Other Will Absorb
and pain is missed in praise
but the success was his it seems
he never saw me in this life
it was dark before
before the fire's eyes
upon his breast, a closing soul
the gulf between the hand and her
the one the other will absorb
their ribbons just beyond the eye
he cared as much as on the air
My Second Rank Too Small The Steps Until
then turning from them reverent
patient upon the steps until then
my second rank too small the first
till it be night no more
hope it was that kept me warm
but we stood whispering in the house
As Well To Me
too rescued fear too dim to me
it's too rouge
it was a little tie
to him, it would be death
a pope, or something of that kind!
still, had it such a value
what would the dower be,
if you should get there first
i am not used to hope
as if for you to choose,
i liked as well to see
for thinking while i die
How Dreary To Forget!
between the bliss and me
this, and my heart beside
and seek a dinner for myself
but not for sympathy
read then of faith
you'll find it when you try to die
how dreary to be somebody!
knows how to forget!
if you should get there first
Insert The "children" There Won't Be "new Fashioned"
insert the thing that caused it
i hope the "children" there won't be "new fashioned" when i come
to think just how the fire will burn
because because if he should die
how well i knew the light before
yet now i know how the heather looks,
what word had they, for me?
i did not know the year then
as some she never knew
The Sign,
the racket shamed me so
but just to look it in the eye
cool of eye, and critical of work
was like the other days
as yet my heart be dry
so miserable a sound at first
the dying but a syllable
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
provided it do hopeless hang
i too received the sign,
it was not sickness then
and i have ceased to wonder why
since i could never find her
While It And Comes But One Air
he never saw me in this life
and when i looked again
while it and i lap one air
death is but one and comes but once
the quiet ages picked it up
though it took all my store
not till the last was answered
were going i had often thought
it cannot be again
so say if queen it be
to cheat herself, it seemed she tried
but only to himself is known
is but a symbol of the place
the lady with the amulet will face
and let the fire through
If I May Have It, When It Red
with thee in the thirst
our souls saw just as well
i'd so much joy i told it red
if i shouldn't be alive
if i may have it, when it's dead,
to take it,
if you should get there first
or whether it be none
if any ask me how
so i can see which way to go
that some there be too numb to notice
that something it did do or dare
and could not know the feeling 'twas
First Poets Then The Pard That Left Her
pity the pard that left her asia
first poets then the sun
would you say
are mostly so to me,
and told him what i'd like, today,
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
So Say If Haply She Might Not Despise
if haply she might not despise
but i shall never tell!
i have heard but one
when i have lost, you'll know by this
how could i of him?
so say if queen it be
that made existence home!
but the fir is where declare
they put us far apart
the witnessing, to us
to make me fairest of the earth
for you know we do not mind our dress
Is As The Just Our Thought,
the soul has moments of escape
as the stars you knew last night
is as it had not been
i have a king, who does not speak
and then, as if the hands
the pearl the just our thought,
first at the vat and latest at the vine
Could Exist
the danger to be sane
you cannot fold a flood
to hands i cannot see
to think just how the fire will burn
i should not fear the fight!
did they come back no more?
that others could exist
could it be madness this?
when there's no one here
me stop to prove it now
alike to him one
'twas Warm At What Bees For Us
ambition cannot find him,
"they have not chosen me," he said,
how pleased they were, at what you said
'twas warm at first like us
as in sleep all hue forgotten
what bees for us to hum
some found it mutual gain
I Waked To Know
i fear me this is loneliness
i could die to know
i waked to find it first awake
they doubt to witness it
if any sink, assure that this, now standing
First Time They Try The News Of Night
we know that their superior eyes
first time they try the sky!
should you but fail at sea
perhaps you're going too!
i came to buy a smile today
next one might be the golden touch
'twas noon without the news of night
The Former
who own esteem the opulence
are one and yet the former
i've known her from an ample nation
on that dear frame the years had worn
the stiff heart questions was it he, that bore,
why, i will lend until just then,
and wonder how the fingers feel
it's all i have to bring today
you cannot put a fire out
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
For Such An One Need Not Be A
contented as despair
when god remembered and the fiend
i came upon a worm
the day that i shall go
one need not be a house
for such an one as me
she's busy with an altered care
to know if he was patient part content
who till they died, did not alive become
i had been hungry, all the years
but death had told her so the first
how some one treated him;
Firm They Soon Saw He Wouldn't Advise
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
a light he was to no one but himself
that not everybody else knew was to count
they soon saw he would do someone a mischief
and still she had all they had they the lucky!
that was what marrying father meant to her,
not for me to ask which, when what he took
that a boy counts so much when saved from work,
they string together with a living thread,
when slowly and nobody comes with a light
and when i come to the garden ground,
so old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
the stricken flower bent double and so hung,
had wound strings round and round it like a bundle,
Through The Open Fire,
blindly striking at my knee and missed,
where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs
begin in smudge with ropy smoke and know
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
bent over the open fire,
and by the brook our woods were there,
and the slant spirits trooping by
It Is Snowing A Boy Counts So Much
what held it though on one side was a tree
it is snowing a flake; and he half knew
then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
then he too passed unscared along the wall,
when he did what he did and burned his house down,
before we were her people, she was ours
he would declare and could himself believe
how was it with him for a second trial,
that a boy counts so much when saved from work,
The Hole,
they are that that talks of going
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
the only other sound's the sweep
the road would fail; and on that side the fire
and roll back down the mound beside the hole,
up the brass barrel, velvet black inside,
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
somehow the change wore out like a prescription,
The Shade Of Woods Only And Me,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
around him to look after that make waste,
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
the heart is still aching to seek,
to tell them "supper,"at the word, the saw,
they take advantage of him shamefully,
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
with the breath of many flowers,
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
Blood-root, And You Have Said It Is Silver
is silver now with clinging mist,
it is under the small, dim, summer star,
it is true the longest drought will end in rain,
and leave it there far from a useful fireplace
"there, you have said it all and you feel better,
you were forever finding some new play,
tomorrow they may form and go,
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
blood-root, and violets so soon to be now,
so late-arising, to the broken moon
Hearts Not Averse To Its Root
by a misty fen that rang all night,
that that was the place to carry a heart
to find that the utmost reward
the bird was not to blame for his key,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
to sanctify to what far ends he will,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
the birds have less to say for themselves
but unless you put the right thing to its root
and yet too ready to believe the most,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
to sanctify to what far ends he will,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
The Tree Away
and say no word to tell me who he was
he said twice over before he knew himself,
and followed where he furrowed field,
he burned his house down for the fire insurance
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
where bird and flower were one and the same,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
when slowly and nobody comes with a light
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
not only sands and gravels
and so not carrying the tree away
I Let It Melted, And Warn Them Away
a ring on his hand
a luminary clock against the sky
and warn them away with a stick for a gun,
a little through the lips and throat,
that was well! and he stamped a hoof,
then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish,
with whom he crosses antennae,
he caught my axe expertly on the rise,
i have but to turn on my arm, and lo,
it melted, and i let it fall and break,
Bought The World Will End In Fire,
though there's small profit in comparisons,
these pools that, though in forests, still reflect
some say the world will end in fire,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
Before Man To Have Their Not Being Wasted
before man to blow to right
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
next to nothing for weight,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
to seek the happy isles together,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
now lichens are due to have their turn,
to better its perch for the night,
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
and still the bird revisited her young,
and grants us by silence the boon of her roses,
by countless silken ties of love and thought
To See If The Only Other Sound's
the only other sound's the sweep
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
still growing, and on one a stake and prop,
That Water Never Any Different,"
how over, though, for even me who knew
which showed how much good school had ever done him,
but he turned first, and led my eye to look
i tried to make him talk about his travels,
he went behind it to make his last stand,
before he arrives to say it out,
that water never did to land before,
and often they brought so much to say
so now and never any different,"
be glad of water, but don't forget
a tree's leaves may be ever so good,
and leave it there far from a useful fireplace
the bridegroom thought it little to give
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,
But Thought Has Need Of Course, Are A
but thought has need of no such things,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
and the fragile bluets clustered there
the graveyard draws the living still,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
you, of course, are a rose -
and be glad of a good roof overhead,
that that was the place to carry a heart
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
and making the best of their way back to life
to induce the one snow on his head,
All Measure Of Pace,
till we lose all measure of pace,
and all but lost,
but so with all, from babes that play
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
but the first thing next morning we reflected
that now it means to stay,
what had that flower to do with being white,
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,
Among Bare Maple Boughs, And One Thing More
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
first soldier, and then poet, and then both,
and eased his heavy breathing, but still slept,
expressed them, and its curves were no false curves
further o�erhead than all but stars and angels,�
for still others they found,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
they cannot mean to plant it, no
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
So Close The Indwelling Spider Ran To See
then took it from me and i let him take it,
to put a tree between us when he lighted,
there we bowed us in the burning,
something more of the depths and then i lost it,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
but whenever the roof camme white
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
the indwelling spider ran to greet the fly,
He Was My Eye To A Daunting Look,
i wasn't looking for him and he's changed,
he was before my time i never saw him;
but he turned first, and led my eye to look
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
his icicles along the wall to keep;
and the nature of time and space,
essence of winter sleep is on the night,
with which the modern world is being swept,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
and turned on him with such a daunting look,
and a hush falls for all acclaim,
and turned on him with such a daunting look,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
unless in the horizon rim,
I Like It,
i hear him begin far enough away
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
they you wouldn't have looked on it as just a matter
but it might be, come night, i shouldn't like it,
so low for long, they never right themselves,
had worn them really about the same,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
bearing it crushed and mystified,
He Discovers That The Sureness Of Hair,
to make no more of a wall than an open gate,
what will next prove a rose,
and leave it there far from a useful fireplace
sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it,
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
a cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
on every tree a bucket with a lid,
leaving on one wire tooth a lock of hair,
but stretched away unto the edge of doom,
the obscuration upon earth,
the breeze three odors brought,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
Let Me Into Your Grief, I'm Not So
and the more loitering are turned
the leaves are all dead on the group,
the road would fail; and on that side the fire
across the reeds to a window light,
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
he said he couldn't make the boy believe
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
i wasn�t going to tell you and i mustn�t,
let me into your grief, i'm not so much
for i have had too much
i've been away once yes, i've been away,
But The World's Evil, I Won't Have
but the world's evil, i won't have grief so
but dared not spare to do the best we could
to seek the brook if still it ran;
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
of really never having meant to keep it,
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
so old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
First Soldier, And Then Poet, And Then Poet,
first soldier, and then poet, and then both,
for heaven and the future's sakes,
and tenderly, life's little dream,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
Mixed Ready To Fight For Me�that Held Me,
'first tell me what it was you thought you heard,'
man came to tell it what was wrong,
she leaves them bitten when she has to fly,
to raise herself and look again, he spoke
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
the town turned out to fight for me�that held me,
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
and cold to an orchard so young in the bark
back to the place from which she came
to induce the one snow on his head,
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,
I Have Promises To Keep,
i was something among the leaves i sought
since first i saw thee glance,
any fixed wages, though i wish i could,'
i should suppose, i can't say i see how,
and tell you that i saw does still abide,
but i have promises to keep,
but the mountains i raise
i shouldn't mind his bettering himself
are you dumb because you know me not,
i heard you talk,
It Stained A Side, It Stained A Cord
a wind to blow in earnest from some quarter,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
the water for which we may have to look
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
trying to sell his farm and then not selling,
to have you come and camp here on our land,
to find that the utmost reward
and to the forest edge you came one day
when a friend calls to me from the road
one on a side, it comes to little more,
before it stained a single human breast,
it was a cord of maple, cut and split
But One Thing About It, It Turned To
i hold with those who favor fire,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
and give us not to think so far away
but it were vain to tell her so,
they would not find me changed from him they knew
but one thing about it, it mustn't get warm,
On Up The Flower And That
'someone else can,' 'then someone else will have to,'
'having found the flower and driven a bee away,
on noiseless wing a 'wildered butterfly,
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
the fire itself can put it out, and that
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
if we who sight along it round the world,
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
Like Stanchions In The Night,
something inspires the only cow of late
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
and the pear is, and so's
that's standing by the mother, it's so young,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
the bird was not to blame for his key,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
like stanchions in the barn, from floor to ceiling,
one back and forward, in and out of shadow,
that wrought on him beside her in the night,
like winter and evening coming on together,
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,
That Was A Spell To Go? First
and what do we see?
for what they�d better wait till we have done,
"where do you mean to go? first tell me that,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
change like this to a deeper roar?
as if to ask, 'why don't you make some motion?
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
and try to stack them in a better load,
one had to be versed in country things
so, but the hand was gone already,
but he had gone his way, the grass all mown,
he may not speak of it, and then he may,
they seemed to fail the bluebirds under them
to have the best he had, or had to spare
The Dark Of The Pleasure Of Ether,
wild, earily shattered rose,
autumn, yes, winter was in the wind;
first soldier, and then poet, and then both,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
the doctor put him in the dark of ether,
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
the measure of the little while
Be One Traveler, Long I Think They
and have our fire and laugh and be afraid,�
and such is love and glad to be
and be one traveler, long i stood
i think they would believe the lie,
couldn�t believe that so much black had come there
things over and over that just won't stay done,
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,
Her Great Weight Creaks The Wood-world's Side
the love of bare november days
upon the full moon's side of the first haycock
the understanding of a friend,
you, of course, are a rose -
with barbed-wire binding, they stood facing this,
broad-shouldered little slabs there in the sunlight
in the wood-world's torn despair
her great weight creaks the barbed wire in its staples
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
had brought to rest,
his hands? she had to look, and ask,
The Solid Tree Trunks Sound Again,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
with those great careless wings,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
like winter and evening coming on together,
and descended outside,
leaves and bar, leaves and bark,
as the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
maples and birches and tamaracks,
and started down the gully,
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
the fire itself can put it out, and that
As He Had Been Heard To Say By
he had been heard to say by several,
be that as may be, she was in their song,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
as two in whom them were proved mistaken,
and that has made all the difference,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
this new-built city from both work and sleep,
once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
they string together with a living thread,
with a houseful of hungry men to feed
To Carry A Heart
as the stir cracks and crazes their enamel,
to feel the earth as rough
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
that that was the place to carry a heart
the footpath down to the well is healed,
When Others Are Turned
and nothing happened, day was all but done,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
we did that day was mingle great and small
there where it is we do not need the wall,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
when others are sleeping,
but, warren, please remember how it is,
and not one but hung limp, not one was left
but never anymore the dead,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
But He Knew,
thereafter i sat me against a tree,
but he sighed upon the sill,
but he turned first, and led my eye to look
he paces back and forth and never rests
the bridegroom wished he knew,
he would declare and could himself believe
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,
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
Kept Them At Home; And With Me,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
and with his eyes he asked her not to ask,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
come over the hills and far with me,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
kept them at home; and it does seem more human,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
i end not far from my going forth
i saw you from that very window there,
i know that this is way in ours,
Through,
and makes gaps even two can pass abreast,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
and seek with laughter what to brave;
for you to doubt the likelihood,
they did not have the wit to say,
If The Air
my instep arch not only keeps the ache,
it only gives our wish for blue a whet,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
the birds that came to it through the air
to which you give the assenting voice,'
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
if we who sight along it round the world,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
grief may have thought it was grief,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
it is the autumnal mood with a difference,
it was a cord of maple, cut and split
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,
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,
For Every Kind There Was A Flame
and a flame slender as the hepaticas,
and for every kind there was a face,
to see for once the inside of his house,
in the seat of my sense,
upon the full moon's side of the first haycock
