Poems about good
Never Could To Turn
or tell god how cross we are
never could to me
it struck me every day
unto my books so good to turn
You Told Me So
just laying light no soul will wink
oh, had you told me so
good to know, and not tell,
you will not wake them up,"
Then It Would Split His Heart, To
they summoned us to die
to elude me so!
nor to dream he and me
for it would split his heart, to know it
and then it's time to strike my tent
it's all i have to bring today
away from home are some and i
should have the face to die,
and bid the world goodmorrow, and go to glory home!
and then abroad the world he go
they leave us with the infinite,
in dreams i see them rise,
yet not too far to come at call
All, For "bread"
nor heard the timid cry for "bread"
did you ever stand in a cavern's mouth
and what a wave must be,
good to know, and not tell,
all, for him, straightaway,
We Dream It Is
so impotent our wisdom is
and much not understood
we dream it is good we are dreaming
but the success was his it seems
alike to him one
neither place need i present him
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
The Good Will Of A Yellow Eye
to whom he could entrust his wavering gaze
the nearer they departed us
the dust behind i strove to join
on whom i lay a yellow eye
the dead shall go in white
we are the flower thou the sun!
the good will of a flower
could but a crier of the joy
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
Was All I Said
she feels some ghastly fright come up
she suffered me, for i had mourned
my need was all i had i said
i can't tell you but you feel it
so well that i can live without
was dying as he thought or different
yet blamed the fate that flung it less
possibly but we would rather
or was myself too small?
i would not choose a book to know
and what a privilege to be
as if for you to choose,
good night, because we must,
dissuade thee, if i could not, sweet,
and make believe i'm getting warm
To Love, But Since
no numb alarm lest difference come
to know if any human eyes were near
good to know, and not tell,
the ballots of eternity, will show just that,
is all that's left them, now
than the rest have gone,
with transport, that would be a pain
the day must follow too,
grant that we may stand,
when we are going home
that one, to be quite sure
they're here, though; not a creature failed,
nor had i time to love, but since
i may remember him!
that something it did do or dare
No Curricle That I'm Sure
no treason it can fear
the perfect, nowhere be afraid
you're right "the way is narrow"
it must mean that i'm sure
it doesn't state you how
i only know no curricle that rumble there
i love thee then how well is that?
tell which it's dull to guess
how foreign that can be
and what we saw not
and no man is the one
that make the circuit of the rest
how good the certainty
and what itself, will say to me
forever might be short, i thought to show
Good To See That None Is Due?
i should not fear the fight!
but i shall never tell!
struck, was i, not yet by lightning
sometime, upon a bough,
good to know, and not tell,
what will become of me?
to see that none is due?
as far as it could see
An Awe If It Will Go,
"heaven" has different signs to me
if love inquire "where"?
debates if it will go,
and when at night our good day done
as some she never knew
an awe if it should be like that
I Went
we dream it is good we are dreaming
i could not hope for mine
because i could not stop for death,
i could suffice for him, i knew
for fear i hear her say
i pondered how the bliss would look
and so around the words i went
and there is another sunshine,
and a deal of sad reflection, and wailing instead of song?
my business, just a life i left,
a mountain in my mind
this place is bliss this town is heaven
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
It Will Be Ample Time
take not my liberty
and then abroad the world he go
and where his feet have run
and at my finger's end
it will be ample time for me
make summer when the lady lie
no one could play it the second time
and when at night our good day done
Precious To Find
but there is no gratitude
i do not care about it
how long a day i could endure
and what a wave must be,
and subsequent, to find
and now, removed from air
i never lost as much but twice,
and she had past, with him
precious to me she still shall be
chase it not, and it abides
good night, because we must,
and wondered what they did there
that never wrote to me
Longer Trust
the reason deeper lies,
i pondered how the bliss would look
i knew not but the next
i shall meet with conviction i somewhere met
i stole them from a bee
god gave a loaf to every bird
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
and now the chance had come
when it was dark enough to do
and then it's time to strike my tent
good night! which put the candle out?
because it's sunday all the time
by my long bright and longer trust
Gone As Soon As Soon As Soon As
but the instead the pinching fear
it was dying then
gone as soon as known
and therefore good
So Upon This Too The Life Be
but that thyself fatigue of us
and so upon this wise i prayed
this too the showman rubbed away
and therefore good
that definition is none
if the life be too surrendered
The Soul Is In Pain
but when the soul is in pain
but the instead the pinching fear
without the fear to justify
and the children no further question
so this sort are not given
as can no other mouth
as if it held but the might of a child
a good news should be given,
but could not make it feel,
i would not paint a picture
i do not need a light
just see if i troubled them
i'm saying every day
i kept it in my hand
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
Followed Where He Thought That Child's
he liked to have it slender as a whipstock,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play
it totters when she licks it with her tongue,
to put a tree between us when he lighted,
since he was old enough to know, big boy
good arguments he sees he might have used,
and followed where he furrowed field,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
For The Root,
next to nothing for use,
used these unscrupulously to bring me
to seek the brook if still it ran;
and bring it to market when you please
spares to strike for the common good,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
and having perhaps the better claim,
behind light words that tease and flout,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
I Wasn't All The Same,
women and men will make them all the same,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
good-night to woods,' but not so; there was more,
erect, but not without its waves, as when
as if with keenness for our fate,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
i thought a few might tangle, as they did,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
and would feel if i wasn't all gone wrong,
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
though it still could sing,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
Some Good Perhaps To The Wind To The
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
to stop it with a period of ink
and turns to the wind to unruffle a plume,
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
to set your breast to the bark of trees
and list to the love of these,
what but design of darkness to appall?
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
for then there would be business, as it is,
and the work is play for mortal stakes,
and the nature of time and space,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
and the fragile bluets clustered there
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
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,
But In No Hush They String It, They
but in no hush they string it, they go past
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
spares to strike for the common good,
were not too much to pay for birth,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
what form my dreaming was about to take,
and all their logic would fill my head,
and all the rest for them permissible ease,
`as All Must Be,' I Have To Be
`as all must be,' i said within my heart,
a tree's leaves may be ever so good,
he may be better than appearances,
i have to be gone for a season or so,
"why Do They Make Good Neighbors? Isn't
since it was nothing i knew evil of
i think i know enough of hate
no one can know how glad i am to find
"why do they make good neighbors? isn't it
what would you say to war if it should come?
he added, if you really care to know,
Back To The Sphere,
had brought to rest,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
back to the place from which she came
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
grim giving to do over for them both,
But I Called It A Day, I Wish
i guess you'd find,, it seems to me
call it a day, i wish they might have said
but i called it a name,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
he don't know why he isn't quite as good
Too Lonely For Her There,
too many fall from great and good
and hop, eless grist enough it looks
and it was older sure than this year's cutting,
it was too lonely for her there,
were not too much to pay for birth,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
too far beyond him to be gathered in,
seems to me owes it to the town to keep one,
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
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,
That Opens Earthward, Good And Could Himself Believe
in time to keep me from suspecting him
to overtake me, who should miss me here
he would declare and could himself believe
needlessly soon he had his axe-helves out,
under the formal writing, he was in her sight,
but when in battle the foe were met,
when sedentary and when peripatetic,
that opens earthward, good and ill,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
To White Rest, And A Last Sounding Word
and spread her apron to it, she put out her hand
and still the bird revisited her young,
and caught me splitting wood in the yard,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
across the sill from the outer gloom,
to white rest, and a place of rest
one on a side, it comes to little more,
then there were three there, making a dim row,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
spares to strike for the common good,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
almost like a call to come in
and a last sounding word to say,
he hates to see a boy the fool of books,
A Moment Sought In Air His Flower Of
spares to strike for the common good,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
and thing next most diffuse to cloud,
but turns to pink between the teeth,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
to white rest, and a place of rest
in the shape of a man,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
and started down the gully,
portent in little, assorted death and blight
when pear and cherry bloom went down in showers
the trees that have it in their pent-up buds
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
The Way They Wist,
baptiste drew back and squinted at it, pleased;
that rested on the banister, and slid downstairs;
and the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
the gray grass is scarce dappled with the snow;
the only other sound's the sweep
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
of things of moment to which, they wist,
and the nature of time and space,
and thought of doing something to the shore
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
in one last look the way they must not go,
The Town Turned Out To Leave It To,
rose pogonias
the barren boughs without the leaves,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
the bird was not to blame for his key,
but yield who will to their separation,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
we have four here to board, great good-for-nothings,
of what you came for and become like me,
the town turned out to fight for me�that held me,
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,
The Other End The Middle Of Them All,
the lurking frost in the earth beneath
the bridegroom came forth into the porch
and at the other end the microscope,
and work was little in the house,
then sit down in the middle of them all,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
the woods come back to the mowing field;
to the dark and lament,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
and make us happy in the darting bird
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
That Would Be Good Both Going And Coming
shook whatever it was lay there at bottom,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
that would be good both going and coming back,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
a cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
a great wave from it going over them,
a miserable sight, and frightening, too
Ill,
when, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
that opens earthward, good and ill,
and tell me truly, men of earth,
something more of the depths and then i lost it,
i often think of the smooth hickory bars,
one of my wishes is that those dark trees,
of really never having meant to keep it,
they take advantage of him shamefully,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
the petal of the rose
Across The Flame Tip-down And Ask,
his hands? she had to look, and ask,
as he went out and in to fetch the cows
like stanchions in the barn, from floor to ceiling,
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
and wished her heart in a case of gold
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
of something interposed between their sight
the swarm dilating round the perfect trees,
a narrow passage all the way around,
it put the flame tip-down and dabbed the grass
this saying good-bye on the edge of the dark
across the lines of straighter darker trees,
before the coming of the snow,
That I Must Say It Didn't Do A
to any watch they keep?
sometimes we don't, we've a good piece of shore
because it didn't do a thing but split
and i must say it dealt
that i should have guessed
Pan Came To Where It Bent In The
could only have had an influence on birds
while they had backs turned, that it hadn�t been there
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
too far beyond him to be gathered in,
to where it bent in the undergrowth;
it was far in the sameness of the wood;
for a few swift gleams of the angry brand,
and thought of doing something to the shore
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
and making the best of their way back to life
as i came to the edge of the woods,
pan came out of the woods one day,
and, tired of aimless circling in one place,
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,
If I May Recall It,
she had to ask, "what was it, dear?"
"just that i see,"
mind you, i waited till len said the word,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
whether i am glad, sorry, or anything,
if i ever read it,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
nothing so new�something we had forgotten,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
no more to build on there, and they, since they
to seek the happy isles together,
that would be good both going and coming back,
though it still could sing,
Across The Other Go On Black Ground A
like a white piece of rigid satin cloth
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
'twas a nest full of young birds on the ground
the disappearing last of him
across the sill from the outer gloom,
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
and let the other go on a way,
on his particular time and personal sight,
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
they tried to keep him clothed, but he paraded
thus till he had them almost feeling dared
in time, had she not realized her danger
with what was another man's work for gain,
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,
Without So Much As Well Not Try To
you can't get back and see it as he saw it,
he promptly gives it back, that is if still
now if it was dusk outside,
as if to prove saws knew what supper meant,
they might as well not try to go at all,
half in appeal, but half as if to keep
without so much as wishing him good-night,
his song so pitched as not to excite
and to do that to birds was why she came,
i went to turn the grass once after one
i was just as the light was beginning to fail
and knock to the echoes as beggars for roses,
across the wall as near the wall as they,
There Was Never A Sound Beside The Breast,
and all for nothing it had ever done
the way he mixed that in with other things,
high in the breast, nothing but what good care
unsaid between us, brother, and this remained
but oh, the agitated heart
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
one is alone, and he dies more alone,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
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
That Struck The Sun And With Terror And
good blocks of oak it was i split,
and made it leap my knuckle, having tossed
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
that struck the earth,
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
it ran with terror and with cunning crept,
and stood in the sun and looked his fill
for though the grass was scattered,
with which the modern world is being swept,
the gray grass is scarce dappled with the snow;
She Scorns A Pasture Withering To The Place
one flight out sideways would have undeceived him,
i must be wonted to it that's the reason,
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
and ought to do some good if splitting stars
i didn't know him well enough to know
and say no word to tell me who he was
he said to gain time, "what is it you see?"
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
the hard snow held me, save where now and then
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
and turns to the wind to unruffle a plume,
were native to the grain before the knife
To Each The Water For Which We May
anything special you're a-mind to name,
baptiste knew how to make a short job long
scorning greatly not to demand
to yield with a grace to reason,
to seek the happy isles together,
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
the water for which we may have to look
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
to white rest, and a place of rest
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
each laid on other a staying hand
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
You Could Himself Believe
he must seek me would he undo the wrong,
what good is he? who else will harbour him
he would declare and could himself believe
unless len took the notion, which he won't,
had worn them really about the same,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
it would be different if more people came,
But Did Not Enough, A Good Helve
i remember that i did,
i wonder about the trees,
the plum, i suppose,
i expect, though, everyone's heard of it,
bearing it crushed and mystified,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
in the unloading, silas does that well,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
it was too lonely for her there,
and he likes having thought of it so well
he showed me that the lines of a good helve
so was i once myself a swinger of birches,
