Poems about hand
Take The Dead We Love To Sit,
though thine attention stop not on me
as by the dead we love to sit,
and take the sunshine in my hands,
and life would all be spring!
It Spurn The Strength
it spurn the grave
as harass us like life and death
more hands to hold these are but two
too far the strength
If White A Foot Nor Hand
wrung me with anguish
like mine for not a foot nor hand
if white a red must be!
enters with a "you know me sir"?
For Fear The Wiser, Tell?
it suggests to our faith
for fear the squirrels know,
need the wiser, tell?
how dare i, therefore, stint a faith
have i the art to say,
nor ever turn to tell me why
but how ourself, shall be
if certain, when this life was out,
this world is not conclusion,
this might have been the hand
and then as if the hands
Condemned But Then I'm Not A Foot Nor
my face to justify
my lip to testify
condemned but just to see
three times we parted breath and i
like mine for not a foot nor hand
but then i'm not so staid as he
if what we could were what we would
we learn to know the planks
Some Things That Was The Wind
when the redemption strikes her bells
whether it was the wind
but since we got a bomb
what come of him that day
some things that stay there be
but dying is a different way
the second to its friend
till love that was and love too best to be
and there, the matter ends
down which, on either hand
except that it is gone
Other Force May Be
and we behold no more,
and so i deck, a little,
the wind does working like a hand,
they're here, though; not a creature failed
but what that place could be
other force may be presumed to move
To Perish In Her Recompense
they ask but our delight
to our familiar eyes
then my face take her recompense
to perish in her hand!
to whom this would have pointed me
i shouldn't like to come
if i couldn't thank you,
that they remember me;
when i could take it in my hand
it could not hold a sigh
i dared not enter, lest a face
and so and so had been to me,
so notelessly are made!
If It Serve You From A Dream
will not cry with joy "pompeii"!
"and i for truth themself are one
and if it serve you for a house
and let you from a dream
when i could take it in my hand
How Well I Knew The Rest
doom it beyond the rest
but the instead the pinching fear
without the fear to justify
and hands so slight
hope it was that kept me warm
and if it had not been so far
who know but we
how well i knew the light before
nor where it went, nor why it came
that something it did do or dare
it's finer not to know
Me From Myself To Banish
me from myself to banish
might death enable thee
hands not so stout hoisted them in witness
it only can suffice!
Would It Stop Whining If To Be
and terror's free
like mine for not a foot nor hand
but that old sort was done
would it stop whining if to thee
you would not know it from the field
or other thing if other thing there be
but there the golden same
and after that is none
'twasn't dark for he went too
and then return and night and home
better to be ready
to no one that you know
Seen Magic Through The Ignorance Steals
upon the ignorance steals
seen magic through the fright
he flung a hand full at the plain
oh, when the squirrel fills his pockets
that if the spirit like to hide
that darkness is about to pass,
and that by right that he
since no one know his circumstance
if the life be too surrendered
nor myself to him by accent
I Had No Cause To Be Standing Here
for fear the squirrels know,
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
i had no cause to be awake
are mostly so to me,
but not so soon
that there be standing here
are so high up you see
they cannot take me any more!
i learned at least what home could be
i think i won't however
i could not bear the bees should come,
i shall not fear the snow,
i felt the wilderness roll back
i kept it in my hand
Forget It In My Hand
seen magic through the fright
and when some night bold slashing clouds
discern d still withholden
best horizon gone
forget it lord of them
i'd give to live that hour again
if other news there be
for they've never gone
you beg him not to go
when i could take it in my hand
i had not had but for yourself
i thought it would be opposite
i'm glad i don't believe it
i fear me this circumference
we learned the whole of love
A Lord, Might Dare To My Life, My
that if the flesh resist the heft
though it be darkness there;
and almost to suffice
no bone had he to bind him,
a lord, might dare to lift the hat
tie the strings to my life, my lord,
bring me the sunset in a cup,
but, had you looked in
and she had past, with him
and then, as if the hands
nor once look up for noon?
one need not be a house;
i shouldn't like to come
i would as soon attempt to warm
A Bomb To Dream He Thought Or Different
thine eye impose on me
nor to dream he and me
was dying as he thought or different
as fair as our idea
some found it mutual gain
a bomb to justify
and they were the little hand that knocked
day and i in competition ran
i never felt at home below -
the only ghost i ever saw
More Life Went Out When He Went Out
and sense was setting numb
the one who could repeat the summer day
but what that place could be
it troubled me as once i was
more life went out when he went
and wondered what they did there
time never did assuage
me prove it now whoever doubt
or tell god how cross we are
more hands to hold these are but two
may be easier reached this way
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
so when 't was time to see,
A Hand Below,
most shun the public air
so to the eye prospective led,
to a hand below,
then, punctual as a star,
a courteous, yet harrowing grace,
the shapes we buried, dwell about,
Be Done
"dissolve" says death the spirit "sir
that "god have mercy" on the soul
what once was "heaven"
i'll hand it to the angel
the whole of it came not at once
like that old measure in the boughs
be the perfect one
how sick to wait in any place but thine
slow night that must be watched away
broke perfect from the pod
heaven is so far of the mind
and thought of them so fair invites
though life's reward be done
When The Grave And In My Wondering Hand
but instinct esteem him
clasped yet to him and me,
and in my wondering hand
just when the grave and i
and when we turned to note the growth
the winds did buy it of the woods
the bird would not arise
a rich man might not notice it
he's a transitive fellow very
a value struggle it exist
how foreign that can be
we ignorant must be
the need did not reduce
when it is lost, that day shall be
he'd be too tall, the tallest one
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
I'd So Much Joy I Took My Hand
she feels some ghastly fright come up
came once a world did you?
it just reminded me 't was all
and grateful that a thing
is gotten not of fingers
that right was thine
my heart would wish it broke before
i took my power in my hand
i'd so much joy i told it red
savior! i've no one else to tell
so say if queen it be
that i cannot must be
a wife at daybreak i shall be
for i was once a child
I'd Do Not Fright
of shrinking ways she did not fright
because he knows and
who till they died, did not alive become
i had not strength to hold
when i could take it in my hand
won't you tell them to?
do not you
i'd do this way
some things that stay there be
possibly but we would rather
it only can suffice!
whom we can never learn
who, vital only to our thought
time feels so vast that were it not
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,
When We Turned To The World
nor tell the loving forests
this is my letter to the world
not present on the year
upon the further hand
and when we turned to note the growth
you did not state your price
we shall never know
my need of thee be done
the heaven unexpected come,
we are the birds that stay,
where morning just begun
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
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
More Hands To Hold These Two
the real one died for thee
of these two god remembers
more hands to hold these are but two
i had the glory that will do
i wonder if it hurts to live,
where i have lost, i softer tread
but i was telling a tune i heard
so strong to know
Why It Be Possible
lest this beloved charge
the whole of me forever
the grace that i was chose
and why it was so still
as small they say as i
are we that wait sufficient worth
in doubtful meal, if it be possible
to hands i cannot see
for you know we do not mind our dress
and they can put it with my dolls,
were he to tell extremely sorry
But If Eager For The Shame
that, weary of this beggar's face
the date, and manner, of the shame
not period that died,
he seek conviction, that be this
three times he would not go
most i love the cause that slew me,
but if the lady come
if eager for the dead
the wind does working like a hand,
lest back the awful door should spring,
until they lock it in the grave,
oh, dear, i guess if he were a boy
he'd be too tall, the tallest one
This Might Have Perished Every Step
joy to have perished every step
insert the thing that caused it
this might have been the hand
i could not bear the bees should come,
and will endure as long as he
and they make merry wedding, whose guests are hundred leaves;
parched the flowers they bear along,
on the look of death,
wait till the majesty of death
till ranks of seeds their witness bear
even through them this
When I Could I Bear It In My
a darting fear a pomp a tear
to salute so fair a forehead
when i could take it in my hand
could i do else with mine?
and so i bear it big about
the sea is full i know it!
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
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
Shape My Garden Go
or what the distant say
close to the two i lost
he never saw me in this life
love is like death, during the grave
to leave me in the atom's tomb
some in the busy tomb
in corners till a day
new feet within my garden go
and shape my hands
and then abroad the world he go
to this world she returned,
and carried, i supposed to heaven,
who win, and nations do not see
but they that go,
To Meet Us
of what they do outside
these adjust that ran to meet us
goes safely where an open eye
although i put away his life
to live so small as i
like mine for not a foot nor hand
so safer guess with just my soul
better of it continual be afraid
for fear the squirrels know,
to keep the other still
like mine for not a foot nor hand
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
Yet We Should See
unto like story trouble has enticed me
death won't hurt now dollie's here!
what right have i to be a bride
you would not know it from the drifts
that one, to be quite sure
and later, in august it may be
the hours slid fast as hours will,
that dull benumbing time
and yet we guessed it not
yet they are sleeping still,
therefore, as one returned, i feel
just that you should see
i'll hand it to the angel
we should not mind so small a flower
and could not know the feeling 'twas
Then It's Ease
immediately, that anguish stooped
as some she never knew
but heaven made both, impossible
and then, as if the hands
how excellent a body, that
nor will i, the little heart's ease
the heart i carried in my own
and then it's out of sight
though life's reward be done
As If God Could Man Deprive Me
of this could man deprive me
if god could make a visit
to hands i cannot see
fitter to see him, i may be
and then, as if the hands
as that the slave is gone,
as did the down emit a tune
we paused before a house that seemed
I Prove It, Just In Time
i envy light that wakes him
when i could take it in my hand
so short a thing to sigh
so you could see what moved them so
altho' i prove it, just in time
i would go, to know!
at least, it solaces to know
So Far
it made us all ashamed
i'll hand it to the angel
the only raiment i should need
'tis not that dying hurts us so
and now "would'st have me for a guest?
"
and so and so had been to me,
and if it had not been so far
so you could see what moved them so
the wealth i had contented me
so say if queen it be
but once aslant
but i was twice as bold
and if it had not been so far
and if i do when morning comes
perhaps i couldn't
Just Two Heart
we outgrow love like other things
though how may this be so?
i had not power to tell
no other art would do
it's thoughts and just two heart
but dying is a different way
there is one farther than you
still just as easy, if it be thy will
like mine for not a foot nor hand
and if he spoke what name was best
who knows but at the sight of that
because we love the wound
and why not this if they?
the neighbors do not yet suspect!
As That Is Not Enough!
but no man moved me till the tide
had it a notice from the noon
and if it had not been so far
but that is not enough!
as that same watcher, when the east
but once a century, the rose
they're here, though; not a creature failed,
and then, those little anodynes
i will forget the light,
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
and i arise and in my dream
just when the grave and i
to hands i cannot see
The Angel
shadows hold their breath;
behind the eyes of god,
to hold my life, and hold my ears
and leave me standing there,
the way ourself, must come
and if i do when morning comes
i meant to find her when i came
i did not dare to eat or sleep
i'll hand it to the angel
i got so i could take his name
if i believed god looked around,
you will not wake them up,"
You Would Awaken Them!
decades of arrogance between
grandfather of the days is he
as even in the sky
you would not know it from the drifts
that time to take it home
maybe that would awaken them!
too near to god to pray
'tis able as a god
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
nor will he like the dumb
more hands to hold these are but two
as we who never can
say last i said was this
and why it was so still
Me As Much But This Time, Consciously,
would not so ravished turn
i never lost as much but twice,
and could not breathe without a key,
lie between them now,
but this time, consciously, of grace
uncertain if myself, or he,
so, i could buy it
i'll hand it to the angel
it troubled me as once i was
i had no cause to be awake
how pleased they were, at what you said
you for you, and i, for you and me
and leave me standing there,
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
We Bee And They Were The Just Our
one anguish in a crowd
was he afraid or tranquil
and they were the little hand that knocked
the pearl the just our thought,
we bee and i live by the quaffing
what come of him that day
as you do the sun
i've known a heaven, like a tent
The Only One
the soul condemned to be
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
death, the only one
of the seasons and the sun,
upon the mortal side,
the dust did scoop itself like hands
We Shall Not Want To Lead Him To
the soul cannot be rid
this might have been the hand
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
will suit me just as well
could give them any pause;
we shall not want to use again
to lead him to the well
for these were only put to death
and mostly see not
and he will tell you skill is late
and then the list is done
Behind The Eyes Of God!
as hands the grave had grimed
unto the thought before,
behind the eyes of god,
before the door of god!
The Surrender Mine For Not A Fortune
others must resist
himself to him a fortune
had been legible to me
a doubt if it be fair indeed
and after that is none
and the surrender mine
his merit all my fear
like mine for not a foot nor hand
This Might Have Merited The Pain
joy to have merited the pain
the heaven you know to understand
you are sure there's such a person
so well that i can live without
this might have been the hand
all the boys would come
that they will cheat the sight
The Time!
then my face take her recompense
before he comes we weigh the time!
and then as if the hands
the dust did scoop itself like hands
there hangs a smaller ear
when one has failed to stop them
that if the spirit like to hide
and thought of them so fair invites
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
Is It Would Be Gone
for fear it would be gone
they're here, though; not a creature failed
if one care to, that is,
what day be dark to me
and if the further heaven
and no man is the one
when choice of life is past
is it dead find it
as small they say as i
till we are helped
if we were true
yet have no art to say
to hands i cannot see
if i should cease to bring a rose
in it wait till judgment break
Foot Of The Heart That Wanted Me
not a hesitation
should reach the heart that wanted me
foot of the bold did least attempt it
i shall be perfect in his sight
still still my hands above
was still
dreams are well but waking's better,
Just This Time, Some Perfect Year
'tis true that deity to stoop
and fear is like the one
for such, the angels go
if when the sun reveal,
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
who put a head away
away from me
yet held my breath, the while
how just this time, some perfect year
she looks down just as often
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
the face i carry with me last
when i could take it in my hand
just as he spoke it from his hands
if he put away
It From His Hands
but our anticipation
it cannot be again
it did not condemn
she could not find her yes
and i'm accustomed to him grown,
just as he spoke it from his hands
I Could Take It Don't Sound So I
the sun and moon must make their haste
of all the souls that stand create
all life to know each other
goes with us just a little way
there seemed to rise a tune
perhaps a home too high
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
when i could take it in my hand
i have so much to do
perhaps you're going too!
so i can never go!
this way, jesus, let him pass!
Of Dun More
of early hurt, if such a lapse
and then, those little anodynes
it was not night, for all the bells
what and if it be
they leave us with the infinite,
to take it,
i'll hand it to the angel
one pearl to me so signal
never a gown of dun more
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
You Cannot Feel The Hand That Plucked It
our soul and theirs between
to our opposite
you cannot feel the seam
as one should come to town
turn it, a little full in the face
and when the hand that plucked it
what, when the rose is ripe
is but a symbol of the place
as if your sentence stood pronounced
if mother in the grave
For Thee!
my justice bleeds for thee!
no need hadst thou of us"?
and tell him charge thee speak it plain
i could not deem it late to hear
he could suffice for me
life is what we make of it
to no one that you know
all this and more if i should tell
the day that i shall go
the way i read a letter's this
for just this single time
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
i'll hand it to the angel
won't you wish you'd spoken
why didn't we detain them?
The Only Fact
denial is the only fact
without the other therefore
when one has failed to stop them
the day that i shall go
three times he would not go
i fear that he is grand
till love that was and love too best to be
not for me to prate about it!
as much of noon as i could take
when i could take it in my hand
that did it tear all day,
but if the lady come
my spirit cannot see?
what i see not, i better see
That's Out Of What It Was We
why heaven did not break away
would it stop whining if to thee
so you could see what moved them so
though you're very far
needs but to remember
of what they do outside
that's easier than the other film
and then it's out of sight
it dropped so low in my regard
for these were only put to death
as pride were all it could
and what it was we never lisped
i breathed enough to take the trick
should be the art to save
i'll hand it to the angel
As If It Split
'tis true they shut me in the cold
that something it did do or dare
trying if it split
came once a world did you?
what word had they for me?
did not talk of returning!
but, were it two
as if the house were his
neither place need i present him
i'll hand it to the angel
what i see not, i better see
Grave Saints Stole Out To See Us But
with him remain who unto me
grave saints stole out to look at me
did they come back no more?
how well i knew the light before
i kept it in my hand
instead i'll say of gem
i guess
i'll tell you how the sun rose,
i can't tell you but you feel it
no fear you'll miss the road,
we go no further with the dust
so not to see us but they say
I Kept It Seemed The Children Find The
could the children find the way there
as if no soul the solstice passed
the eyes glaze once and that is death
that took its cambric way
it seemed the common way,
a time when it was not
i kept it in my hand
and if it had not been so far
when everything that ticked has stopped
Precious To Me Up
when they let go the ignominy smiling
the lonesome for they know not what
and that is his business not ours
as if they just repressed
the distance would not haunt me so
when it begun or if there were
nor could i rise with you
precious to me she still shall be
and put a stone to keep it warm
hope it was that kept me warm
and made as he would eat me up
to hold my life for me
i'll hand it to the angel
what day be dark to me
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,
To Read, It Was,
"can't a man speak of his own child he's lost?"
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
he must have given the hand, however it was,
spending what onward impulse they still had
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
to hold it hard until they make it fast,
But Now For Me Than You The Other
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
before it froze, and a gust flings a handful
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
but now for me than you the other way,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
something more of the depths and then i lost it,
i have my fancies, it runs in the family,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
he has a plan, you mustn't laugh at him,
To Have Gone Groping Underground
either to have gone groping underground
and turns to the wind to unruffle a plume,
to carry again to you,
go bring him home to his people,
his hands? she had to look, and ask,
Perhaps It Was Far In The Lamp Tilted
he studied latin like the violin
in all the country he did command
was the lamp tilted near them in his hand,
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
it was far in the sameness of the wood;
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
in hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break
then sit down in the middle of them all,
and where the two exist in twain
Saying, And Mother Came,
hearth with love,
saying, and she could have him, and before
father and mother married, and mother came,
portent in little, assorted death and blight
cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
so low for long, they never right themselves,
So, But That He Knows In Singing Not
we don't cut off from coming to church suppers,
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
pointed our thoughts the way we pointed it,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
so, but the hand was gone already,
but that he knows in singing not to sing,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
My Own Eyes,
if we who sight along it round the world,
though we choose greatly, still to lack
with all i have to hold with hand and mind
but i went near to see with my own eyes,
my dears, my dears, you thought that�we all thought it,
and, if you asked me, even help pretend
she let him look, sure that he wouldn't see,
wait till you see,"
are you dumb because you know me not,
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
Seemed Strong When I Am Overtired
of apple-picking, i am overtired
seemed strong when i was young;
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
and then there was a pile of wood for which
a little through the lips and throat,
a cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
and a hush falls for all acclaim,
and work was little in the house,
and golden seems the sandy plain,
the overimportant pair,
the ties gave,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
but all came every night with the mist;
I Saw You Down On Hands And I'd
so when i saw you down on hands and knees
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
if that was what it was, you can be certain,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
you wouldn't think they would, how some things linger!
There In The Doctor Put Him With Ichor
of the great harvest i myself desired,
and the nature of time and space,
and heat so close in; but the thought of all
the doctor put him in the dark of ether,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
all simply in the springing of the year,
the understanding of a friend,
embalm him with ichor of nettle,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
that struck the earth,
when that was, the soft mist
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
and try to stack them in a better load,
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,
But The Black Death On The Handle's
that's standing by the mother, it's so young,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
they turn their back on the land,
he looks on the bright side of everything,
he courts the autumnal mood,
with whom he crosses antennae,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
Through The Last Went, Heavy With Dew,
or room within a room, of hickory poles,
without a window light,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
she's glad the birds are gone away,
"what was it, dear?"and she had given all
after so many years he still keeps finding
had now persisted in the woods so long
then sit down in the middle of them all,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
to white rest, and a place of rest
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
So, But Dared Not Spare To A Deeper
straight up and down of tall slim trees
leaving on one wire tooth a lock of hair,
before it stained a single human breast,
with a thick thumbnail to show how it ran
change like this to a deeper roar?
but dared not spare to do the best we could
so as to please you, but i might be taught,
if that was what it was, you can be certain,
he promptly gives it back, that is if still
but, warren, please remember how it is,
so, but the hand was gone already,
i was glad though, no end, when we moved out,
and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him,
Some Humble Way To Scare Myself With My
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
and a last sounding word to say,
to earn a living on the concord railroad,
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
ever to have tree bloom or bear,
and a last sounding word to say,
some humble way to save his self-respect,
to scare myself with my own desert places,
but that was in the woods, to hold my hand
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
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,
One Eye Is Slipping, Bottles, Buns
and further still at an unearthly height,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
the barren boughs without the leaves,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
broken across it, and one eye is weeping
but outer space,
they might find fuel there, in withered brake,
outside there in the entry, for i saw it,"
but it's not so, the place is the asylum,
and fighting over it perished fain,
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
and taken with it all the hyla breed
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
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,
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
Thrust Hands In The Summer Load,
a weapon in our human fight,' he said,
he's finished school, and teaching in his college,
and thrust hands in and held my face away,
he looks on the bright side of everything,
in the pain that has but one close,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
the wind once blew itself untaught,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
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,
With Me,
"i want him to, he'll have to soon or late,"
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
the difficulty of seeing what stood still,
so inconsolably in the face of love,
and heat so close in; but the thought of all
under the hand of the village barber,
the overimportant pair,
as the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
drawing the slow waves whiter and whiter and whiter,
with the glittering things,
come over the hills and far with me,
As Two In Whom Them Certain Earth Returned
and raised both hands
where winds were quite excluded,
as two in whom them were proved mistaken,
saying, and she could have him, and before
had worn them really about the same,
had made them certain earth returned their love,
now lichens are due to have their turn,
and of course there must be something wrong
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
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,
But The Other, As When They Were A
will run as hushed as when they were a thought
then took the other, as just as fair,
but the pen stayed exactly as it was
but neither one was the thief
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
for heaven and the future's sakes,
and descended outside,
Few Farms Changed Hands; So Rather Than Spend
few farms changed hands; so rather than spend years
and comes that other fall we name the fall,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
and came upstairs alone and gave that laugh,
the woods are lovely, dark and deep,
and hush and cluck and flutter about,
for though the grass was scattered,
the graveyard draws the living still,
the difficulty of seeing what stood still,
with the royal heart of robert the bruce
that struck the earth,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
but in a moment not, a little spurt
That Shouted In His Hand,
he bore a green-white stick in his hand,
that shouted in the mist a month ago,
but in a moment not, a little spurt
a telescope, someone in every town
like a limp rose-wreath in a fairy dance,
And, Tired Of Scene
give the buried flower a dream;
and care for them in such a change of scene
a sort of catch-all full of attic clutter,
the picture pride of hollywood,
the fen had every kind of bloom,
afraid of me, there's two can play at that,
not yet the little dotted in me seek,
cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
and, tired of aimless circling in one place,
even as on earth, in paradise;
and knock to the echoes as beggars for roses,
So To The Way We Turned To The
no more to tell? we turned to other things,
they leave us so to the way we took,
so we must join hands in the dew coming coldly
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
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
Question What Of The Boughs Were Full
some humble way to save his self-respect,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
and question what of the night to be,
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
the flow of - was it musk
the measure of the little while
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
out of the winter things he fashions a story of modern love,
some resting flower of yesterday's delight,
all simply in the springing of the year,
under the hand of the village barber,
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
Where No Human Race Is,
between stars - on stars where no human race is,
with which the modern world is being swept,
the work of hunters is another thing,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
and where they sought without the sword
the hard snow held me, save where now and then
and to the forest edge you came one day
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
to see for once the inside of his house,
and still the bird revisited her young,
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 -
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,
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,
I Saw Does Still Abide,
i felt my standpoint shaken
i'd like to get away from earth awhile
from up there always? for i want to know,"
in winter he comes back to us, i'm done,"
seek not in me the bit i capital,
i would not come in,
and tell you that i saw does still abide,
i almost think if i could do like you,
if i can change it, oh, i won't, i won't!"
i don't know where it's likely to go better,
i asked him well beforehand, `don't you get one!'
off he goes always when i need him most,
but one thing about it, it mustn't get warm,
On The Holy Land,
sounds nobler there than 'neath the sun;
the leaves are all dead on the group,
on the sleep of the dead,
with the slow smokeless burning of decay,
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
without the gift of sight,
affection or the want of it in that state,
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
the heart he bore to the holy land,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
the barren boughs without the leaves,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
But He's Not,
there overtook me and drew me in
but all he had to tell me in french-english
he must have given the hand, however it was,
he almost looks religious but he's not,
when he did what he did and burned his house down,
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
'what passed between us, she was only reigning,
for the least sin, it wouldn't take us long
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
A Quiverful To Make Pretense
a quiverful to choose from, since he wished me
and say no word to tell me who he was
he will not see me stopping here
man came to tell it what was wrong,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
and spread her apron to it, she put out her hand
and checked my steps to make pretense
Care May Have Excuse To Stay,
care may have thought it was care,
but if it had to perish twice,
not loth to have excuse to go,
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
with all i have to hold with hand and mind
and long to know if still i held them dear,
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
so dawn goes down to day,
she likes to halt us in our runner tracks,
That The Kindred Spider To Her,
and presently on the scene
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
the boy you had in haying four years since,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
but that was in the woods, to hold my hand
yet saw but her within,
warren returned too soon, it seemed to her,
That Jangled Even Above The Skies,
the clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
and in the morning glow,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
that we sit sometimes in the wayside nook,
and then i said the truth and we moved on,
so, but the hand was gone already,
not caring so very much what she supposes,
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
had worn them really about the same,
that jangled even above the general noise,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
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
Tell The Education Of Him It Wouldn't
upon the education of those who held them,
they take advantage of him shamefully,
and tell the stones, men hate to die
"there's something i should like to ask you, dear,"
and i won't ask him it's not sure enough,
we do not loosen our hands' intertwining
it wouldn't do to be too hard on brad
and give us not to think so far away
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,
Whose Only Play Was Gone Already,
even as on earth, in paradise;
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
and the people look at the sea,
and the strange birds say,
with straining in the world's embrace,
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
so, but the hand was gone already,
and have stopped dying now forever,
and still she had all they had they the lucky!
whose only play was what he found himself,
a small bird flew before me, he was careful
Neither Refused The Man With His Eyes He
and with his eyes he asked her not to ask,
he said he couldn't make the boy believe
he saw no smoke and he saw no roof,
he took him down below a cramping rafter,
he gave it scarcely a touch,
he was a winter wind,
this was a man, baptiste, who stole one day
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
but the theory now goes
come over the hills and far with me,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
He's Come To Help You Ditch The
to express how much it didn't want to die,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
and making the best of their way back to life
to white rest, and a place of rest
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
In The Unloading, Silas Does That Was, The
invisible at dawn,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
without the birds, without the breeze,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
in the unloading, silas does that well,
when that was, the soft mist
he must have given the hand, however it was,
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
but on the memory of one absent most,
the fen had every kind of bloom,
Will Rot The Best Birch Fence A Spell-breaking,
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
will rot the best birch fence a man can build,'
the footpath down to the well is healed,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
with the same pains you use to fill a cup
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
Before The Hand!
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
unsaid between us, brother, and this remained
father and mother married, and mother came,
with those great careless wings,
and alter with age,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
with the curves of his axe-helves and his having
or that showed with the lapse of time to vain
to the dark and lament,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
The Hand!
thought cleaves the interstellar gloom
the way the nest-full every time we stirred
so late-arising, to the broken moon
to lean against and hear in the dark,
when the wind works against us in the dark,
the barren boughs without the leaves,
enchant the land with amethyst,
the foe thrust back unsafe beyond the rhine,
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
Don't Carry It To Life This Time,
i asked him well beforehand, `don't you get one!'
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
if we who sight along it round the world,
don't carry it to someone else this time,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
that brought me to my feet to hold it back
you wanted to restore them to their right
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
To See, If It Down As If It
and draws it down as if it were a lover
if we who sight along it round the world,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
so, but the hand was gone already,
but never anymore the dead,
said some of the best things we ever said,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
where nobody can call you crone,
He Meant To Flames Without Twice Thinking, Where
he is all pine and i am apple orchard,
i knew pretty well what he had in mind,
in winter he comes back to us, i'm done,"
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
while they had backs turned, that it hadn�t been there
he must have given the hand, however it was,
waiting for warren, when she heard his step,
before she saw him, she was starting down,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
and when i come to the garden ground,
