Poems about half
Then Bear Her To The Greenwood, And Build
almost to jealousy,
then bear her to the greenwood, and build for her a bower,
with half a smile and half a spum,
but, had you looked in
When That We Lost
the curiosity
our little garden that we lost
but only knew by looking back
i'd rather be the one
it seemed the common way,
when that which is and that which was
half glad when it is night, and sleep,
Except The Children No Further Question
to wonder what myself will say,
how well i knew her not
what portion of me i
i've nothing else to bring, you know
in which my call would come
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
to such, if they should whisper
but not to touch, or wish for,
we questioned to, again,
nor ever turn to tell me why
except the dying this to us
and the children no further question
half the condition, thy reverse to follow
I Think The Days Could Take It
and entertain despair
hands not so stout hoisted them in witness
like mine for not a foot nor hand
i think the days could every one
perhaps he doesn't know the house
that there be standing here
could take it
we might e'en divide
when cogs stop that's circumference
a still volcano life
so sailors say on yesterday
show me them said i
what if i say i shall not wait!
if i were half so fine myself
for i was once a child
If They Refuse How Then Know Why When
how many legions overcome
as dying say it does
possibly if they refuse how then know
i shall know why when time is over
bereft i was of what i knew not
although i heard them try
neither place need i present him
if then he hear
and when i looked again
and he was barefoot, i'm afraid!
half glad when it is night, and sleep,
with transport, that would be a pain
himself has but to will
i could not count their force
I Wondered Which Would Not Haunt Me Down
my sovereign will relent?
the emperor will say?
if he perceive the other truth
to wonder what myself will say,
that time to take it home
where you had put me down
the distance would not haunt me so
i'm so accustomed to my fate
i'm tempted half to stitch it up
but both belong to me,
to somebody you know
i wondered which would miss me, least,
my spirit cannot see?
and he would come again
The House
out through the fields and the woods
across the fields behind the house
half closes the garden path,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
of who began it between the two races,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
the black was all there was by day-light,
but neither one was the thief
that jangled even above the general noise,
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,
They Were Welcome To Beg And Be Beholden,'
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
before the coming of the snow,
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
to go with the drift of things,
"i think his brother ought to help, of course,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
and yet too ready to believe the most,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
they were welcome to their belief,
so he won't have to beg and be beholden,'
but it were vain to tell her so,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
half in appeal, but half as if to keep
as i walked once round it in possession,
and then he flew as far as eye could see,
The Bird Would Have The Rabbit Out Of
when this one fell
but with one step backward taken
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
when, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
half closes the garden path,
but the flower leaned aside
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
and yet too ready to believe the most,
they were welcome to their belief,
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
as well to-night as any night,
the bird would cease and be as other birds
nor yet in any spur it may be to ambition,
We Dance Round In Living Is To Interfere
my object in living is to unite
the planets seem to interfere in their curves -
were native to the grain before the knife
the meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
and in a little a french touch in that,
we dance round in a ring and suppose,
two and a child,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
and slept, the log that shifted with a jolt
To The Gully,
to watch his woods fill up with snow,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
to every thing on earth the compass round,
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
to seek the happy isles together,
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
someone to salt the half-wild steer,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
and started down the gully,
the graveyard draws the living still,
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
to seek the happy isles together,
the bridegroom thought it little to give
Half Closes The Graves Of The Hard Work,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
to earn a living on the concord railroad,
they cast on the ground
the graves of men on an opposing hill,
the spoils of the dead,
the understanding of a friend,
the fruited bough of the juniper
half closes the garden path,
she loves the bare, the withered tree;
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
Now The World Burned Black
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
was gum, the gum of the mountain spruce,
when, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
leaves and bar, leaves and bark,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
the spoils of the dead,
visions of half the world burned black
and her in the angle of house and barn
The War Seemed Over More Like The War
where nobody can call you crone,
do you know, what we talked about was knowledge?
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
the war seemed over more for you than me,
make the day seem to us less brief,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
before it stained a single human breast,
man acts more like the poor bear in a cage,
like the two strokes across a dollar sign,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
To Raise Herself And Look Again, He Had
no matter the heart he has in charge
there he had built his stolen shack,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
to raise herself and look again, he spoke
before he arrives to say it out,
half in appeal, but half as if to keep
hard if, though cast away for life with yankees,
He Went;
brushing the dirt from his eye as he went;
and half the bag wound round his hand,
he bore a green-white stick in his hand,
he stood there bringing march against his thought,
there he had built his stolen shack,
when he called her -
Telegraph,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
and where they sought without the sword
and making the best of their way back to life
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
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,
The Dead
"how often already you've had to be told,
how else? they are not known to send the dead
the letter you will find me subscript to
and half grant what i wish and snatch me away
i doubted if i should ever come back,
whose woods these are i think i know,
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,
How Over, Though, For Even Me Who Is
i wish i could promise to lie in the night
i thought, who is that man? i didn't know you,
and half grant what i wish and snatch me away
they you wouldn't have looked on it as just a matter
when it seemed as if i could bear no more,
how over, though, for even me who knew
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
he is that fallen lance that lies as hurled,
the work of hunters is another thing,
the light forever is morning light;
but a house isn't sentient; the house
when the sun is out and the wind is still,
Upon The Sleep Of Lumber Folk,
now if it was dusk outside,
how was it with him for a second trial,
this was a man, baptiste, who stole one day
and he spoke the bridegroom fair,
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
to white rest, and a place of rest
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
and fighting over it perished fain,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
that all day fights a nervous inward rage,
a speck that would have been beneath my sight
