Poems about fire
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
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!
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!
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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,
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
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,
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,
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
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,
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 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
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
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,
