Poems about fly
Some Way Back
others must resist
that they are beautiful
eyes were not meant to know,
but nobody was there!
'twas this on tables i had seen
some know him whom we knew
let me think i'm sure
and yet existence some way back
some things that fly there be
Were But Mine The Right Between
need you unto him
or else forgive not me
contenteth me
oh poor and far
it's thoughts and just two heart
too narrow is the right between
as we went out and in
and then it's time to strike my tent
were but mine the charter of the least fly
out of sound out of sight
But, Were Saved
to him, it would be death
one and one are one
if you remember, and were saved
and now you've littered all the east
till love that was and love too best to be
so soon to be a child no more
i shall but drink the more!
and so i bear it big about
i asked no other thing
some things that fly there be
but, were it two
more hands to hold these are but two
the drums don't follow me with tunes
so short way off it seems
their going is not
This Way, I Wake
not even god can heal
he, too, did fly away
but, were it two
because he knows and
and the day that i despaired
that every time i wake
this way, i keep from missing
why, i have lost, the people know
but, what of that?
unworthy, that a thought so mean
neither he to me
presuming me to be a mouse -
For Me
power is only pain
while oceans and the north must be
for these were only put to death
some things that fly there be
a rich man might not notice it
no message, but a sigh
and heaven not enough for me
or else forgive not me
i could suffice for him, i knew
and if indeed i fail,
had all my life but been mistake
as pride were all it could
most i love the cause that slew me,
and i, and silence, some strange race
Yet Not For Me
and terror's free
not in this world to see his face
out of sight?
what of that?
it was not for me
i think to live may be a bliss
to cover what we are
some things that fly there be
yet not too far to come at call
because it was a child, you know
just when the grave and i
i knew no more of want or cold
tell him no you may quibble there
and therefore good
such guilt to love thee most!
unworthy, that a thought so mean
She's Desire,
the white clouds over them on,
toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
a shade more the color of snow,
the more of right the more he loves;
the me-nail click and shuffle of his feet,
and stood the axe there on its horse's hoof,
she bellows on a knoll against the sky,
lay him in state on a sepal,
in summertime with a witching wand,
she's making her cross-country in the fall,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
of easy wind and downy flake,
By Setting It Means To Little More,
by hailing cheerily "hit them hard!"
by setting it out on a northerly slope,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
wrap him for shroud in a petal,
turned into a weapon,
one on a side, it comes to little more,
not so much larger than a bedroom, is it?
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
that now it means to stay,
She Seemed To Know Definitely What He Thinks
and to know definitely what he thinks about the soul;
not for me to ask which, when what he took
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
There In One Place,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
and, tired of aimless circling in one place,
the meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
with barbed-wire binding, they stood facing this,
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
almost like a call to come in
Finding Them Butterfly Weed When I Have Outwalked
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
finding them butterfly weed when i came,
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
i craved strong sweets, but those
i might not have the chance i missed in life
for i have had too much
There They Have Every Means Proper To Believe
"stay where you are until our backs are turned!"
there they have every means proper to do with,
with anyone to death, comes so far short
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
extremes too hard to comprehend at once,
Space,
they look at the sea all day,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and the nature of time and space,
maples and birches and tamaracks,
and caught me splitting wood in the yard,
and started down the gully,
the line-storm clouds fly tattered and swift,
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,
She Leaves Them Bitten When She Has To
he bore a green-white stick in his hand,
and a voice that has sounded in my room
and warn them away with a stick for a gun,
that a man for god should strike a blow,
a farm, a countryside, or if he can,
if design govern in a thing so small,
if we who sight along it round the world,
you needn't be afraid he'll leave you this time,"
she leaves them bitten when she has to fly,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
it is because like men we look too near,
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,
What Had That Checked
and ought to do some good if splitting stars
what had that flower to do with being white,
of really never having meant to keep it,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
but that was in the woods, to hold my hand
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
to please the yelping dogs, the gaps i mean,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
the thoughts may not have risen that so keep
and often they brought so much to say
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
Slave To A Flower Unplucked Is But Left
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
a flower unplucked is but left to the falling,
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
toward the throne to witness there
these forces are obliged to pay respect to?'
With Loathing, For Love Of It, And Yet
and some are loaves and some so nearly balls
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
in the unloading, silas does that well,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
but never anymore the dead,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
For Again It Turned To Fly,
one from our trees, one far away,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
and nothing happened, day was all but done,
come over the hills and far with me,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
and all the rest for them permissible ease,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
so late-arising, to the broken moon
Around Him To Look After That If Splitting
but if you so much as dare to speak,
and ought to do some good if splitting stars
but whate'er you do tonight,
it got so i would say you know, half fooling
i'll see to that if there is need, he ought of right
to you in your condition; you can't know
"you can't because you don't know how to speak,
let them think twice before they use their powers
around him to look after that make waste,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
no more to build on there, and they, since they
with anyone to death, comes so far short
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
On Noiseless Wing A Case Of Snow,
on noiseless wing a 'wildered butterfly,
and set them on the porch, then drew him down
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
and wished her heart in a case of gold
a leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared
In The Door,
i have wished a bird would fly away,
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
in prayer to the door,
and children in the ships and in the towns?
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
I Trusted The Cones Under His Pines, I
and vexes me for reason why,
and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him,
i trusted the brook barrier, but feared
i have wished a bird would fly away,
i have my fancies, it runs in the family,
of the great harvest i myself desired,
the difficulty of seeing what stood still,
but on the memory of one absent most,
to white rest, and a place of rest
