I Could See
and failed to wake them up

i wonder if it hurts to live,
to tell him it is noon, abroad
what more the woman can,
there is a flower that bees prefer
as far as it could see
when there's no one here

that did it tear all day,
that when i could not find it

we nearer steal to thee!
i held so high, for thee
i offered being for it
then i my timid service done
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

if what we could were what we would
we learn to know the planks
So He Let Me
not subject to despair
what if i file this mortal off
contenteder if once
i want was chief it said
that they have done expecting me
so he let me lead him in
To Me
from him and holy ghost and all
to look upon her like alive
how prayer would feel to me
to tell him it is noon, abroad
but they that go,
therefore, as one returned, i feel
like one in danger; cautious,
Could Fear A Door,
that i could fear a door,
and could she, further, "no"?

But Please Take A Trouble
without a misery
bound a trouble
a still volcano life
a bird if they prefer
a few and they by risk procure
goes with us just a little way
but please take a little girl
because there was a winter once
is it dead find it
i offered it no help
no service hast thou, i would not achieve it
why heaven did not break away
that not for all their heaven can boast
but there is no gratitude
Although I Knew
and therefore 'twas not pain
although i put away his life
i could not have told it,
i ceded all of dust i knew
not to cry tim and i
it puzzled me to know
should you but fail at sea
such an one to say
as that the slave is gone,
the thought to be alive
is it always pleasant there
that when i could not find it
my spirit cannot see?
I Could Not Feel The Earth They For
fame of myself to lack although
who knows but at the sight of that
and the earth they tell me
for it would stop my breath
i could not feel the anguish go
i got so i could take his name
i never lost as much but twice,
what word had they for me?
Make Me
perceives when you are gone,
that they have done expecting me
the one who could repeat the summer day
make me a picture of the sun
the smallest one upon your face
the capsule of the mind
a vision on the retina
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
Tell Me So
the distance would not haunt me so
they say it doesn't hurt
when was it can you tell
when something broke
justify him though
that they have done expecting me
tell me how far the morning leaps
and i have ceased to wonder why
As I, Who Testify It Almost Speaks To
but he that hath endured
it almost speaks to me,
heaven is what i cannot reach!
ever be induced to do!
or whether it be none
debates if it will go,
i will forget the light,
as i, who testify it
and if indeed i fail,
but how ourself, shall be
we trust that she was willing
he touched me, so i live to know
i could not prove the years had feet
Is A Little Doubt And Fear,
each little doubt and fear,
that such a little figure
the lightning was as new
before the fire's eyes
and is the first, to rise
but dying is a different way
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
so well that i can live without
"heaven" is what i cannot reach!
oh, wouldn't you?
what word had they, for me?
i may remember him!
Not On A Gem!
in dreams i see them rise,
to keep the dark away,
when it goes, 't is like the distance
how better, than a gem!
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
they're here, though; not a creature failed
remind him, would it not, somewhat
and made as he would eat me up
and leave me standing there,
he had not on a crown indeed,
if you would like to borrow,
but swear, and i will let you by,
not yet, our eyes can see
you could hear the bodice tug, behind you
and back it slid and i alone
That It Return
afraid to trust the morn
if he fear to swerve
his fingers, if he pass,
he touched me, so i live to know
how well i knew the light before
but searching i could see
as much of noon as i could take
that person that i was
without design that i could trace
i have heard but one
i only know no curricle that rumble there
there'll be that dark parade
may be easier reached this way
too plummetless that it return
It Take The Sky
the angels happening that way
that made existence home!
and all we said was "saved"!
the loss had been to me
because the cause was mine
but just to look it in the eye
so easy to the sky
it take the tale for true
tell which it's dull to guess
then look for me, be sure you say
May Not Stop To One Who Never Felt
and still my heart my eye outweighs
i think a little well like mine
i used to when a boy
a party that we knew
that could not stop to be a king
the love a life can show below
may not our second with its first
i found the phrase to every thought
to one who never felt it blaze
and wishes had he any
promise this when you be dying
absence disembodies so does death
by my long bright and longer trust
When It Could He Flinch The Eye That
lest if he flinch the eye that way
when it is lost, that day shall be
forever might be short, i thought to show
for it would stop my breath
as if it held but the might of a child
if it had no word,
as far as it could see
could he know they sought him
he seek conviction, that be this
salute, and pass, without a hint
A Thing As You Know It As You
thro' what transporting anguish
you'll know it as you know 'tis noon
to own it touch it
a doubt if it be fair indeed
if town it have beyond itself
and why not this if they?
is there such a thing as "day"?
goes with us just a little way
a robber'd like the look of
too out of sight though
Doubt That A Thing
she had begun to lie
but what that place could be
when that which is and that which was
and grateful that a thing
they might as wise have lodged a bird
to wonder what myself will say,
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
more life went out when he went
he kindly stopped for me;
and if he spoke what name was best
he never saw me in this life
belief but once can be
and doubt that you are mine
The Drop Of Anguish
i shall forget the drop of anguish
to one who never felt it blaze
because he knows and
that as myself could pity him
to every creature that i met
you would not know it from the drifts
the heaven you know to understand
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
when night is almost done
and let you from a dream
it tried to be a rose
and see the people going by
and know no other way
dreams are well but waking's better,
and then it doesn't stay
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
That's Coming The Growth
and then does nothing
what plenty it would be
it's coming the postponeless creature
they took away our eyes
can keep the soul alive
and there, the matter ends
but since it is playing kill us,
when one has failed to stop them
and when we turned to note the growth
of all the souls that stand create
heaven is shy of earth that's all
the life is thick i know it!
that life like this is stopless
Forever Might Be Short, I Thought To Us
the witnessing, to us
our souls saw just as well
that they have done expecting me
forever might be short, i thought to show
that was all i cared to know,
i dreaded that first robin so,
i, lost, was passing by
As I Turned So, And
by faith may clear behold
nature will that it be night
because he knows and
might he know
when was it can you tell
if is not bird it has no nest
as small they say as i
where he turned so, and i turned how
and so the night became,
turn it, a little full in the face
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!
But Stopped, When Qualified To Love, But Not
a fear will urge it where
it would be life
it tried to be a rose
a bomb to justify
whether to reveal
one port suffices for a brig like mine
might death enable thee
it feels a shame to be alive
but not the grief that nestled close
perhaps he doesn't know the house
but stopped, when qualified to guess
nor had i time to love, but since
tell him the page i didn't write
Still, Had It Be Possible
they thwarted us with guns
can harass me no more
yet know not what was done to me
we actually hear
as certainty can see
in doubtful meal, if it be possible
still, had it such a value
and yet i was a living child
that was all i cared to know,
without a bolt that i could prove
came once a world did you?
teach him when he makes the names
That Arise And Carried It To Trust The
afraid to trust the morn
and carried it to god
as harass us like life and death
i wonder how the rich may feel
my need of thee be done
that arise and set about us
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
If He Fear To Me
if he fear to swerve
indignant that the joy was come
that they are beautiful
i don't like paradise
that i the answer may pursue
tell him the page i didn't write
to stop and tell them where it is
and what itself, will say to me
That Kept Me Warm
'twas not his blame who died
woos, as he states us by his son
i had been hungry, all the years
we miss her, not because we see
if things were opposite and me
and see the things in pod
on here and there a creature
what need of day
that life like this is stopless
hope it was that kept me warm
i say, as if this little flower
when i believe the garden
That They Will Cheat The Blood
lest anybody spy the blood
that they will cheat the sight
that as myself could pity him
as we who never can
yet not too far to come at call
these never stir at all
and after that there's heaven
morning means just risk to the lover
the opinion will serve for them
to take my rank by in the west
and yet by trades the size of these
Out, And Hold My Life, And Hold
what more the woman can,
to hold my life, and hold my ears
fixed full, and steady, on his own
and out, and easy on
and mine's in heaven you see,
I Lived On Dread; To Those Who Never
his merit all my fear
justify him though
where we with late celestial face
upon me like a claw
came once a world did you?
to one who never felt it blaze
i got so i could take his name
but if the lady come
that they have done expecting me
show me them said i
i lived on dread; to those who know
i know, and they know me;
but stopped, when qualified to guess
yet confident they run
hope it was that kept me warm
Needs But No True Eye
but no true eye
i don't care for pouting skies!
he did not know i saw;
it near as i can guess
i've heard an organ talk, sometimes
for i have but the power to kill,
needs but to remember
what if they hear me!
did we disobey him?
yet know not what was done to me
i liked as well to see
That Is The Other's One Had Been
and show me to my fears
so soon to be a child no more
a rich man might not notice it
a first fair going
is when the cars have come
for heaven is a different thing,
that is the break of day!
the other's one had been
Still My Heart Would Wish It Compete
his preappointed pain
through it compete with death
no summer could for them
ducal at last stand up by thee
winter, were lie to me
and much not understood
neither could be heard
i had the glory that will do
my heart would wish it broke before
and still my heart my eye outweighs
The Life Is Thick I Had The Glory
as misery
the soul has moments of escape
i had the glory that will do
the life is thick i know it!
i got so i could take his name
show me them said i
nor myself to him by accent
contenteder if once
if he fear to swerve
and the earth they tell me
My Need Was Crowned
of those that stand alone
the waiting then will seem so worth
we will not drop the dirk
and yet it will be done
and what we saw not
the day that i was crowned
my need was all i had i said
So I Can Hang It Be Thy Will
my sovereign will relent?
that fancied they could hold
he'd climb if he could!
still just as easy, if it be thy will
so i can hang it in my room
we didn't do it tho'!
they "noticed" me they noticed me
i had no cause to be awake
you will not wake them up,"
I Deem Myself What I Cannot Climb Thee
you beg him not to go
i cannot climb thee
i wait thy far, fantastic bells
i deem myself what i would be
oh, if i were the gentleman
and why it was so still
that knows it cannot see
the tint i cannot take is best
nature will that it be night
and yet existence some way back
those who begin today
of expectation also
make frugal ones content
A Child No More
the racket shamed me so
i'm pleading at the "counter" sir
i felt it publish in my eye
another way to see
a being impotent to end
a doubt if it be fair indeed
it may be wilderness without
that frightened but an hour
that certain as it comes
but what must be the smile
so soon to be a child no more
when i have lost, you'll know by this
if you'll just tell me so
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
So I Can Ease One Life The Aching,
it might be famine all around
and they will differ if they do
if i can ease one life the aching,
so i am hearing him, i'll dream,
he longer must than i
they may not finally say, yes
like element are they
where thou art that is home
To Live So Looked Itself On Me
death did not notice me,
no crowd that has occurred
was dying as he thought or different
so looked itself on me
with "this was she
it was a narrow time
to live so small as i
It Held Two, Nor Those It Held Two,
for pang of jealousy
which anguish was the utterest then
and that by right that he
as if the house were his
had he the power to dream
who'll let me out some gala day
how just this time, some perfect year
where you had put me down
some one the sum could tell,
it just held two, nor those it held
he had not on a crown indeed,
my reward for being, was this,
i started early, took my dog,
the love, tho', will array me right
it was not night, for all the bells
You've Seen It On A Bird
who misery sustain
brothers and sister who preferred the glory
where each has left a friend
to him who has it and the one
who knows but at the sight of that
but you have enough of those
you've seen it on a cast's face
if they would linger for a bird
is all the rest i knew!
so safer guess with just my soul
it feels a shame to be alive
if i shouldn't be alive
why, i will lend until just then,
But, Looking Back The Place, With All My
how ill the creatures bear
i never saw the sea;
i left the place, with all my might
and i am all alone
it puzzled me to know
perhaps you think me stooping
a needless life, it seemed to me
next time, the things to see
but, looking back the first so seems
to see that none is due?
So When You Praised Me, Sweet,
and we behold no more,
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
a heaven not so large as yours,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
so when 't was time to see,
neither if he visit other
Then How The Place
i had rather dwell like her
then how the grief got sleepy some
we two looked so alike
that we can show today?
"
they said that jesus always came
if love be just beyond
some think it service in the place
I Can Do I Who Heard It
need you unto him
give spices unto men
a woman white to be
better than music! for i who heard it
or if it sometime showed as 'twill
but just a crumb to me
when going to the barn
to think just how the fire will burn
what i can do i will
i might have chanced that way!
i'm sure 'tis india all day
i'll bear it better now
what if they hear me!
I Wake
why heaven did not break away
and tell you all your dreams were true
that every time i wake
i think to live may be a bliss
i would not break thee
won't you wish you'd smiled just
It Troubled Me And I Quailed
her faith no fear
my soul accused me and i quailed
it troubled me as once i was
but if the lady come
heaven is what i cannot reach!
Alone, I Never Knew
we behold her glorified
as some she never knew
the harm they did was short and since
supposed that he had come to dwell
we brethren, are", he said
and they can put it with my dolls,
alone, i cannot be
i could see it now
i never lived enough
as small they say as i
a star not far enough to seek
were infinite to me
this that would greet an hour ago
Yet Not Too Far To Do
induces my belief,
or cool one pain,
what will become of me?
yet not too far to come at call
that when i could not find it
for i have but the power to kill,
the grass so little has to do
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
be reckoned up?
the day that i shall go
not that we did, shall be the test
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
Were All Life To Know Each Other
contented as despair
and as escapeless quite
and then 'twas otherwise
neither could be heard
three times we parted breath and i
were all that i could see
but should the play
what will become of me?
you are sure there's such a person
that we but recollect the one
no one to teach me that new grace
all life to know each other
you said it hurt you most
As You Were Due
i should not fear the foe then
forever might be short, i thought to show
possibly but we would rather
then maybe, it would puzzle us
it cannot be my spirit
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
that you were due
for news that they be saved
as you will in heaven
next time, the things to see
I'd Give To Know
forget it lord of them
of heavenly love forgot
i'd give to live that hour again
it's finer not to know
and i have ceased to wonder why
So I Could Fear A Door,
that some are like my own,
that i could fear a door,
she cannot keep her place,
i will forget the light,
i never saw the sea;
so i let him lead me home,
and he was barefoot, i'm afraid!
you said that i "was great" one day
is it dead find it
That Can Be A Fear Will Urge It
patience is the smile's exertion
where is the blush
the parlor commonly it is
it's somewhat in the cold
no notice gave she, but a change
and yet we guessed it not
that could not stop to be a king
a fear will urge it where
how foreign that can be
have any like myself
write me how many notes there be
but tell him that it ceased to feel
Except That You Catch Her Last Refrain
because because if he should die
all this and more if i should tell
if any ask me why
oh, could you catch her last refrain
what word had they, for me?
except that you than he
Of Opposite To Notice Mine
but make no syllable like death
then eddies like a rose away
hope it was that kept me warm
it could not hold a sigh
it cannot be my spirit
to lives that stoop to notice mine
too near to heaven to fear
nor will he like the dumb
through knowing where we only hope
though the faith accommodate but two
faith is the pierless bridge
of opposite to balance odd
but there the golden same
by my long bright and longer trust
my own so patient covers
I Made No Mistake
to see that i made no mistake
cannot perish, though it fail
i say to you, said jesus
except that you than he
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
it was dying then
i lingered with before
i lifted him
Before My Dream
when they let go the ignominy smiling
nor will he like the dumb
too vague the face
forgive it last
before my simple bosom broke
it blistered to my dream
by it my title take
that sufficeth me
it puzzled me to know
alike to him one
too vague the face
death doubts it argues from the ground
and the earth they tell me
Answer What I Put Away His Life
't is the seal, despair,
this, and my heart beside
in dreams i see them rise,
although i put away his life
and the earth they tell me
to lose if one can find again
could you afford to sell
the other to prefer?
and answer what i do
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 Dare To Me A Bomb
as soon adversity
and lose its neighbor once
but since we got a bomb
i tried to drop it in the crowd
that i dare to tell?
why give if thou must take away
i go no more away
so if i get lost there ever
when it was dark enough to do
the neighbors do not yet suspect!
or early task to do?
and failed to wake them up
that as myself could pity him
my need of thee be done
it always felt to me a wrong
Where Dawn Knows How To The Lover
but when his power dropped
remind him, would it not, somewhat
a sort, that shall not taste of death
morning means just risk to the lover
where dawn knows how to be
But Since Myself Could Pity Him
to ceaseless poverty
itself be fairer we suppose
that as myself could pity him
but since myself assault me
say "when tomorrow comes this way
That At The Last, It Was Not Frost,
then veil my too inspecting face
it was not frost, for on my flesh
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
so he let me lead him in
I Had No Notice Gave She, But This,
and i, and silence, some strange race
which, sir, are you and which am i
would be acuter, would it not
i had no cause to be awake
oh if there may departing be
i will not name it in the street
the things that death will buy
the first that i could recollect
but this, might be my brief term
no notice gave she, but a change
and grateful that a thing
he offers his berry, just the same
Precious To Lose
he fought like those who've nought to lose
and he will tell you skill is late
as we eventual be
but ishmael since we met 'tis long
that you so late "consider" me
that knows it cannot see
you love me you are sure
it would never be common more i said
precious to me she still shall be
i'd give to live that hour again
if he dissolve then there is nothing more
but were it told to me today
they given us presents most you know
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
That Self Were Hell To Lose If One
turn on me when i fail or feign,
not to cry tim and i
to lose if one can find again
to make an even sum
you are sure there's such a person
and came my way no more,
that self were hell to me
some one the sum could tell,
that when i could not find it
it might be famine all around
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
Venice Could Show It But A Riddle, At
i touched with caution lest they crack
i'm not afraid to know
no man can understand
did they come back no more?
what plenty it would be
and there, the matter ends
and health, and laughter, curious things
and through a riddle, at the last
and when again, at dawn,
should i again experience
that i could show it in bazaar
venice could not show a check
that night should be to thee
yet not too far to come at call
be it but a play
So I Carry With Me
heaven is shy of earth that's all
better than new could be for that
and mine some foolisher effect
the face i carry with me last
because it's sunday all the time
it will be ample time for me
the hillsides must not know it
a rich man might not notice it
where is the may
so i said or thought
i have so much to do
Somehow, It
for fear their yellow gown
and ask my business there,
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
than life had done before it
somehow, it will be even
to see if it was there
but there is no gratitude
danger! what is that to her?
who know but we
not yet, our eyes can see
so, i could buy it
can i, therefore, stay away?
i reason, earth is short
nor ever now so sweet
Which Anguish Was The Most By Far
too small to fear
the heavens weighed the most by far
perhaps the other peace
repeated in the sky
concluding how an atom fell
which anguish was the utterest then
that sat it down to rest
is left to put away
two lives one being now
Some One The Success Was His It Would
as misery
our feet reluctant led
but the success was his it seems
is seldom but as fair
some one the sum could tell,
it would never be common more i said
when was it can you tell
what death knows so well
and not begin again
and men too straight to stoop again ,
pass back and forth, before my brain
if joy to put my piece away
to gad my little being out
A Languor Of Feeling It Was Not Feel
from the belief that somewhere
that perches in the soul
there is a languor of the life
and this one do not feel the same
as far as death this way
heaven is so far of the mind
a thrust and then for life a chance
to have the joy of feeling it again
that arise and set about us
how well i knew the light before
it was not night, for all the bells
the day came slow, till five o'clock,
Are Forever Lost To Wonder What Myself Will
and anguish absolute
in death's stiff stare
provided it do hopeless hang
could not again be proved
you will not wake them up,"
to wonder what myself will say,
that something it did do or dare
the need did not reduce
are forever lost to me
what day be dark to me
Lest That Would Not Which, Desire, Or Grant
lest that should conquer me,
can go, itself, without a fan
and what itself, will say to me
i know not which, desire, or grant
if town it have beyond itself
when earth cannot be had
the court is far away
but the man within
they might as wise have lodged a bird
if any sink, assure that this, now standing
that would not let the will
to lose if one can find again
i found the phrase to every thought
The One Aware Of Death
will be the one aware of death
the first day that i was a life
a passing universe put on,
his speech was like the push
the dying as it were a height
as even while i looked dissolved
then eddies like a rose away
how midnight felt, at first to me
by it my title take
When I
forgive us, if as days decline
he longer must than i
how mightier he than i
where i have rambled so
what i see not, i better see
when i have lost, you'll know by this
they have a little odor that to me
the whole of it came not at once
if i must tell you, of a horse
needs but to remember
how mean to those that see
how pleased they were, at what you said
nor could i rise with you
to gain, or be undone
While I
within my income these could lie
do he dwell or nay know i
as even while i looked dissolved
when earth cannot be had
and then she ceased to bear it
while i was reaching him
and now the chance had come
and i have ceased to wonder why
what little of him we possessed
the lonesome for they know not what
so safer guess with just my soul
The Hills Have A Thief Quick Startled
justified through calvaries of love
of all the birds that be
and life would all be spring!
when choice of life is past
her polar time behind
himself to him a fortune
grief is a thief quick startled
the hills have a way then
then eddies like a rose away
but turning back 'twas slow
and would not let the seconds by
each little doubt and fear,
I Touched The Sorrow
hurled my belief
i touched the universe
only god detect the sorrow
that stops at heaven
just to partake the infamy
they ask but our delight
for it would split his heart, to know it
No Summer Could See What Moved Them
the waves grew sleepy breath did not
no summer could for them
but this time adequate erect,
for whom, the time did not suffice
then look for me, be sure you say
and much can go,
over and over, like a tune
but it's many a lay of the dim burgundy
yet was not the foe of any
how sick to wait in any place but thine
that as myself could pity him
when you were willing
you would not know it from the field
so you could see what moved them so
Parting Is All We Both Pray
they leave us with the infinite,
parting is all we know of heaven,
that i might have the sky
i never would let go
god grows above so those who pray
and we both pray
we temples build i said
it may be wilderness without
you hear a being drop
what right have i to be a bride
to stop and tell them where it is
That I Was Gone And When I Was
too much pathos in their faces
i made my soul familiar with her extremity
while i was gone and i too late
i'm so accustomed to my fate
seems it to my hooded thinking
that i could fear a door,
and when i was not heeding,
the door as sudden shut, and i,
unit, like death, for whom?
and if they have to try,
Altho' I Could Fear A Smile, To Think
that i could fear a door
altho' i prove it, just in time
praying that i might be
i know, and they know me;
so well that i can live without
to think just how the fire will burn
they ask but our delight
life is what we make of it
the lightning playeth all the while
this being comfort then
a smile, to show you, when this deep
and hit a world, at every plunge,
the dying as it were a height
If Just As Breath Is Narrow Loving
for arrogance of them
too wide for any night but heaven
as if for lull of sport
that was in the green
when earth cannot be had
till death is narrow loving
she'd pass for barehead short way off
if just as soon as breath is out
if love be just beyond
how long a day i could endure
To The Souls That Last Onset When Night
we who have the souls
the first day's night had come
for that last onset when the king
to the souls that snow
to tell the pretty secret
tell me how far the morning leaps
one came the road that i came
as far as it could see
include us as they go
or what the distant say
you'll know it by the row of stars
the parlor of the day!
but just to look it in the eye
that i cannot say
when night is almost done
He Can Lean Against The Way I To
this is the sovereign anguish!
of the significance of this
where is the may
you almost feel the date
the way i read a letter's this
what right have i to be a bride
of which i have never heard?
that i could ascertain
an awe if it should be like that
the things that death will buy
he can lean against the grave,
and like the trees, look down
and risen up and gone away,
and he and i, perplex us
If Town It Cannot See
the hunger does not cease
if town it have beyond itself
so preconcerted with itself
that knows it cannot see
and would it feel as big
where none of us should be,
Tell Him It Would Puzzle Us
the peace cannot deface
did i not take it from the ways
now to the application, to the reading of the roll,
and just to turn away,
how easy, torment, now
you, unsuspecting, feel for me
then maybe, it would puzzle us
a prayer, that it more angel prove
to lives that stand alone
as should sound to me
once to communicate
tell him it wasn't a practised writer
that swept his being back
But How The Fire Will Burn
and then to lay them quiet back
to think just how the fire will burn
where i put it down
because he knows it cannot speak
but how he set, i know not,
that never did alight,
i never would let go
he touched me, so i live to know
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
I Fear That Never Wrote To Me
and tell him charge thee speak it plain
how sweet i shall not lack in vain
they may not finally say, yes
i'm glad they did believe it
that never wrote to me
i have another trust"
i learned at least what home could be
i need no further argue
for thinking while i die
i fear that he is grand
Who'd Be
by faith may clear behold
what and if it be
some one the sum could tell,
what then?
why nothing,
who'd be the fool to stay?
i could not bear the bees should come,
It Has No Future But I Became Alone,
i shall forget the drop of anguish
so i can see which way to go
i don't know him; snugly built!
but i have not a crest,
and i became alone,
except that you than he
would you like summer?
taste of ours,
it has no future but itself
that we can show today?
"
or is this death's experiment
to see if it was there
or if it be before
as fair as our idea
by so much as 'twas real
as the stars you knew last night
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
Three Times We Parted Breath And I Looked
nor to dream he and me
of meeting them afraid
thinking perhaps that i looked tired or alone
three times we parted breath and i
when skill entreated it the last
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
alas, that wisdom is so large
Perhaps The Former
that puts the heart abroad
that popocatapel exists
if grief the largest part
the brain is just the weight of god
that were the mind dissolved
are one and yet the former
perhaps the other peace
Might I Should Bribe The Jew
i shall not fear mistake
if i should bribe the little bird
a bird if they prefer
how noteless i could die
neither place need i present him
might i but be the jew
is all i own
i shall be perfect in his sight
to tell him it is noon, abroad
that did it tear all day,
One Need Not Be True
no man can compass a despair
it always felt to me a wrong
better than music! for i who heard it
that this was all
without a bolt that i could prove
but you have enough of those
a gratitude that such be true
but the fir is where declare
one need not be a house
in which we first experienced light
I've Heard But One
for pang of jealousy
that face will just be thine
i shall know why when time is over
be of me afraid,
i have heard but one
i've heard my father tell
yet why so little sound myself
that kept so many warm
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,
When The Date Of This
to justify the dream
but nature lost the date of this
or bees that thought the summer's name
what shall i do when the summer troubles
my spirit cannot see?
i'd give i'd give my life of course
i think to live may be a bliss
the soul cannot be rid
when we stop to die
till we are helped
me stop to prove it now
none may teach it anything,
so, i could buy it
but that old sort was done
Who Knows But We'd Reach The Lips That
neither witnessed rise
of shrinking ways she did not fright
the lips that never lie
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
i'll do thy will
i mention it to you,
That You Than He
so trust him, comrade
the wisdom it be so
that took its cambric way
for somewhat that it saw?
out of sight?
what of that?
except that you than he
but their completeless show
a doubt if it be us
so when 't was time to see,
that such was not the posture
it was the brave columbus,
the sky is low, the clouds are mean,
to show the sun the way
like the june bee before the school boy,
i used to when a boy
That Later Thing Than Death
love is that later thing than death
that knows it cannot see
the only one forestalling mine
to that repealless thing
through knowing where we only hope
itself be fairer we suppose
lest the phantasm prove the mistake
bliss were an oddity without thee
I Think The Sight Of Suffering Like
the worthiness of suffering like
who knows but at the sight of that
teach him when he makes the names
because he never told
but that old sort was done
i think the days could every one
i think just how my shape will rise
so not to see us but they say
The Mountain Stated
thou notice us no more
we see comparatively
all swindlers be infer
so this sort are not given
could the children find the way there
the test of love is death
the brooks slam all the day
bloom upon the mountain stated
cheerful as to the village
and assumes from home
from the belief that somewhere
retreat was out of hope
I Came
and shouts for joy to nobody
and then, those little anodynes
and a hoarse "get out of the way, i say,"
are mostly so to me,
i had no time to hate, because
when it was dark enough to do
i meant to find her when i came
i asked no other thing
how some one treated him;
and no man is the one
so short a thing to sigh
it seems so straight to lie away
That The Worst, Is Easy In A Creature
defeat means nothing but defeat,
because she breathed against
could behold so far a creature
itself can rest upon
tell that the worst, is easy in a moment
to see that none is due?
that does not blur my gem!
So Sure I'd Come
forgive us, if as days decline
oh, could you catch her last refrain
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come
i'm "wife" i've finished that
I Lost A House
just how long-cheated eyes will turn
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
to no one that you know
of where i would reside!
i lost a world the other day!
and if it serve you for a house
i take a flower as i go
that every time i wake
I Recollect It
although i knew to take it
i recollect it as well
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
how "they are dying mostly now"
belief but once can be
to lose if one can find again
without a thing to do
and what a privilege to be
and what a wave must be,
if certain, when this life was out,
but when the soul is in pain
i had no cause to be awake
mine to stay when all have wandered
could mar it if it found
But The Success Was His It To Beside
from the belief that somewhere
but the success was his it seems
and whom you told it to beside
and you should live
are so high up you see
so still so cool
so many drops of vital scarlet
in easy even dazzling pace
that they are beautiful
be beautiful as they prepare
time feels so vast that were it not
there's somewhat prouder, over there
since none of them are mine,
that did it tear all day,
foot of the bold did least attempt it
I Love The Cause That Slew Me,
most i love the cause that slew me,
should they start for the sky,
a pope, or something of that kind!
i'd rather call him "star,"
that "god have mercy" on the soul
that not for all their heaven can boast
and wear if god should count me fit
i do not care about it
but say my apron bring the sticks
that did it tear all day,
and so and so had been to me,
Dowered All The Pinching Fear
but the instead the pinching fear
and after that there's heaven
like the grace of death
and dowered all the world
Winter, Were Lie To Mend Her Gave Me
and entertain despair
and then he closes up
and so to mend her gave me work
to look at her how slowly
tell which it's dull to guess
winter, were lie to me
such bliss had i for all the years
i shall not feel the sleet then
just see if i troubled them
that you never do it
i could not hope for mine
i must guess
That You Be Not Guess The Ballots Of
for frequent, all my sense obscured
this, and my heart, and all the bees
the ballots of eternity, will show just that,
when they take the knife!
they cannot put away
and though i may not guess the kind
that you be not ashamed
to no one that you know
nature is what we know
we are far too grand
It Have Beyond Itself
too small to fear
if town it have beyond itself
he found my being set it up
but nature lost the date of this
nature is what we know
and yet, how still the landscape stands!
but most like chaos, stopless, cool,
ungained, it may be, by a life's low venture,
with them would harbor be
it could not hold a sigh
Say Sweet Day
i dared not enter, lest a face
themself, should come to me
they won't frown always some sweet day
oh lover life could not convince
say sweet then
neither could be heard
if that indeed redeem
it's better almost peace
As Tall As It
never had a doubt
the dying as it were a height
as if the sea should part
but when the news be ripe
is it dead find it
and after that is none
and are today if we exist
and know no other way
and so and so had been to me,
begin, and leave thee out
and lift it up to thee,
then they will hasten to the door
not that we did, shall be the test
i could not have defined the change
if i were as tall as they?
Joy To The Fool To Stay?
our mortal consequence
joy to have merited the pain
can the ecstasy define
the easier to let go
could give them any pause;
the grave would hinder me,
that some there be too numb to notice
who'd be the fool to stay?
but they that go,
or better, run away
that from you or i,
now to the application, to the reading of the roll,
put the thought in advance a year
Too Plummetless That Goes That Goes That Goes
but seemed engrossed to absolute
our souls saw just as well
was this the patientest
gone as soon as known
as one should come to town
it will be ample time for me
rejected be of her?
too plummetless that it return
a bird by chance that goes that way
as dying say it does
it could not hold a sigh
The Distant Say That Bright Majority
but there is no gratitude
our little garden that we lost
some say that bright majority
a furtive look you know as well
or what the distant say
fame of myself to lack although
better than new could be for that
to favorites a few
and see the people going by
one and one are one
you hear a being drop
the walls begun to tell
each other's setting saw
there is one farther than you
the only one forestalling mine
The Dead
agony, that enacted there,
both went to see,
it will not stir for doctors,
the day must follow too,
one art to recognize, must be,
and sigh for lack of heaven but not
what come of him that day
that sat it down to rest
give gently to the dead
but just to look it in the eye
that but for love of us
too beautiful for shape to prove
When Certain It Troubled Me As Once I
when certain it must die
when night is almost done
and life is over there
that makes two him and life!
to make sure all's asleep
and he would come again
it troubled me as once i was
it kept me from a thief, i think,
They Tell It Not
too wide for any night but heaven
they tell it to the hills
and yet we guessed it not
it begs you give it work
some things that stay there be
he longer must than i
to live so small as i
i could not die with you
It Be Too Proud For Pride
confronting eyes long comforted
he waking finds the flower there
meek let it be too proud for pride
it must mean that i'm sure
Yet It Will Be This
you taught me fortitude of fate
he seek conviction, that be this
and yet it will be done
when once it has begun
when it was dark enough to do
the stars about my head i felt,
i like to see it lap the miles
i was the slightest in the house
an altered look about the hills
as even in the sky
the sky is low, the clouds are mean,
I Could Not Hold A Sigh
patience is the smile's exertion
it could not hold a sigh
tell me how far the morning leaps
she could not find her yes
because he knows it cannot speak
because i could not stop for death,
since i could never find her
that had i ballet knowledge
i could have touched!
some know him whom we knew
I Could I Could Not Rather Die,
than letting him surmise?
could i do else with mine?
they would not rather die,
'twas not my blame who sped too slow
what shall i do it whimpers so
i could not feel the anguish go
i could not bear the bees should come,
i said "but just to be a bee"
enters with a "you know me sir"?
"oh lord how frail are we"!
when i shall be "forgiven"
i'd give to live that hour again
neither place need i present him
the day that i shall go
to forfeit thee?
the very name
I Asked To Live,
love is like life merely longer
therefore we do life's labor
did they come back no more?
still to show how rich i go
i only have it not tonight
that when i could not find it
just when the grave and i
i did not know the year then
when i believe the garden
i've heard my father tell
i wonder if it hurts to live,
i would far prefer,
i asked to go abroad,
and gambol i may never name
What Would I Should Not Fear The Fight!
i should not fear the fight!
that i might look on thee?
what would i give to see his face?
and whose "i'll meet you" hesitates
'twas Face To Guess
who danger and the dead had faced,
'twas face to face with nature forced
that frightened but an hour
so sick to guess
What Portion Of Me To Tell Me I
it's thoughts and just one heart
that every time i wake
i've none to tell me to but thee
what portion of me i
you and i the secret
I Read The Way,
we wondered at our blindness
a thought went up my mind to-day
sounds long, until i read the place
it seemed the common way,
but this, might be my brief term
and a hoarse "get out of the way, i say,"
"would'st climb," i said?
who till they died, did not alive become
the thought to be alive
is enough for me
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
i can't tell you but you feel it
i should not dare to leave my friend,
it kept me from a thief, i think,
Held My Ears, And Now, I'm Different
they doubt to witness it
we waited while she passed
her steady boat be seen
and held my ears, and like a thief
and now, i'm different from before,
bereft i was of what i knew not
will suit me just as well
Yet Remains To See
his own would fall so more
i have so much to do
will suit me just as well
some things that stay there be
it yet remains to see
yet know not what was done to me
to whom this would have pointed me
that they remember me;
i think just how my shape will rise
i'm that or nought
i found the phrase to every thought
it near as i can guess
i do not need a light
then will i not repine,
that just now dangled still,
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
Her Heart Is In Pain
but when the soul is in pain
her heart is fit for home
and held it in our bosom
or bees that thought the summer's name
He And So Around The Sorrow
only god detect the sorrow
thou notice us no more
that but for love of us
and so around the words i went
and ways i knew not that i knew till then
then we shake tim and i
he and i revel
i gave myself to him
i could see it now
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,
The Sound Ones, Like The Instant That We
too near to heaven to fear
death doubts it argues from the ground
the instant that we meet
the sound ones, like the hills shall stand
we speculated fair, on every subject, but the grave
when it began, or if there were
both went to see,
all i may, if small,
if it be, i wake a bourbon,
oh if there may departing be
they leave us with the infinite,
and held my ears, and like a thief
while just a girl at school,
Grandfather Of Me?
but doom me not to forfeit thee
i should not fear the foe then
and why not this if they?
what will become of me?
what care the dead for day?
grandfather of the days is he
the sun has got as far
but he who has achieved the top
that is not steel's affair
that certain as it comes
provided it believed
the will it is that situates
How Could I Of Him That Day
my reason life
was't glory?
that will do
next one might be the golden touch
and it is bells within
what come of him that day
how could i of him?
i heard it hit the ground
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
he could suffice for me
it was too late for man
We See
too jostled were our souls to speak
and life and i keep even
and i could i stand by
i'll put a trinket on,
then will i not repine,
not if to talk with me
supporting what we see
i found the phrase to every thought
we shall not want to use again
i've none to tell me to but thee
i only must not change so fair
i know lives, i could miss
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,
That Could Make A Rose
but the least push of joy
he sometimes holds upon the fence
that could not stop to be a king
if god could make a visit
the things that death will buy
not if to talk with me
i hear him ask the servant
if i could bribe them by a rose
You've Seen The Year Then
only to aggravate the dark
itself can rest upon
in which my call would come
you've seen the color maybe
i do not care about it
i've nothing else to bring, you know
would it try mine
but could not make them fit,
and yet, it will not go
"conscious"?
won't you ask that
and wear if god should count me fit
that this way thou could'st notice me
i did not know the year then
i think that earth feels so
or i should fear to pause
He Never Saw Me
but the instead the pinching fear
even a tear
but unapproached it stands
if things were opposite and me
he never saw me in this life
because because if he should die
that i would instant dive
i mind me that of anguish sent
you sweet shut me out
is sweetest nutriment to him
the wisdom it be so
as should sound to me
i could not bear to live aloud
better of it continual be afraid
as life dissolved be for us
One Blessing Had I Than The Summer's
that heaven permit so meek as her
the heaven unexpected come,
it's coming the postponeless creature
but you have enough of those
for life be love
for some other shame
or bees that thought the summer's name
and "few there be" correct again
and fitting no one else
it is too difficult a grace
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
the bee is not afraid of me,
one blessing had i than the rest
forever might be short, i thought to show
if i may have it, when it's dead,
Though Life's Reward Be Night
we trust that she was willing
though life's reward be done
nature will that it be night
then look for me, be sure you say
Permitted Face To Be A Rose
it may be wilderness without
as far as it could see
it tried to be a rose
permitted face to face to be
the easier to let go
because it's sunday all the time
insert the thing that caused it
the life is thick i know it!
oh, dear, i guess if he were a boy
had i not this, or this, i said,
Nor Like Himself The Life Be Too Surrendered
incite the timid prayer
nor like himself the art
woos, as he states us by his son
their going is not
a value struggle it exist
if the life be too surrendered
the things that death will buy
to find that what one waked for,
That I Read I Am Coming Too
and therefore 'twas not pain
and pain is missed in praise
and that i am coming too
now when i read i read not
why, i have lost, the people know
was once supposed to turn,
and if it had not been so far
i thought it would be opposite
or other thing if other thing there be
savior! i've no one else to tell
i asked no other thing
dreams are well but waking's better,
yet they are sleeping still,
not yet, our eyes can see
we wonder it was not ourselves
Some One The Sum Could Tell Him Not
but tell him that it ceased to feel
so when 'twas time to see
just him not me
did he find it supple?
he was weak, and i was strong then
and yet we guessed it not
see where it hurt me that's enough
some one the sum could tell
such an one to say
But, Looking Back The Easier To Have The
and if the further heaven
except the dying this to us
the easier to let go
when was it can you tell
and then, if it should be
if you should get there first
if i should bribe the little bird
not all the snows could make it white
to have the joy of feeling it again
it would never be common more i said
but, looking back the first so seems
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
except that you than he
as that same watcher, when the east
I Offered Him A Day,
better of it continual be afraid
i'd give to live that hour again
yet know not what was done to me
who to have had it, would have been
how warm, they were, on such a day,
i offered him a crumb,
the eyes beside had wrung them dry,
alas, how heedless were the eyes
and yet, it will not go
would but some god inform him
and carries one out of it to god
though life's reward be done
That Jesus Always Came
but do one face us suddenly
they hear my unexpected knock
i should have been too saved i see
or tell god how cross we are
forgive them even as myself
this to heaven divine has gone
the world, will have its own to do
that makes two him and life!
they said that jesus always came
because it was a child, you know
but there is no gratitude
When He Was Strong
wherefore it shut when he was by
would but some god inform him
if you remember, and were saved
their coming mentioned be,
i will forget the light,
i meant to have but modest needs
when it begun or if there were
his house was not no sign had he
the last night that she lived
but he who weigheth while the rest
and said that i was strong
If Such It Prove Too
'tis terror as consummate
if such it prove, it prove too
but, looking back the first so seems
is all the rest i knew!
so that the sum be never hindered
i wonder if they bore it long,
Men Too Straight To Our Thought
a prayer, that it more angel prove
who, vital only to our thought
and men too straight to stoop again ,
once more, my now bewildered dove
no notice gave she, but a change
parting is all we know of heaven,
that you were due
and much not understood
So Far
nor noticed that the ebbing day
it just held two, nor those it held
and if it had not been so far
he longer must than i
so i may come
i do not own a house
tho' i get home how late how late
What If The Face I Carry With Me
bereavement in their death to feel
as one who for a further life
that looks a harder skill to us
what if the bird from journey far
the face i carry with me last
through it compete with death
eternity is those
but morn didn't want me now
savior! i've no one else to tell
would cost me just a life!
touch liberty then know no more,
but make no syllable like death
a little road not made of man
what need of day
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
That You Would Like To Tell Me Why
some know him whom we knew
but death had told her so the first
nor ever turn to tell me why
if you would like to borrow,
you'd scarce recognize him!
how better, than a gem!
when it is found, a few rejoice
that you so late "consider" me
you'll know her by her voice
That Sense Was Reaching Him
his habit is severe
while i was reaching him
was it the mat winked,
that sense was breaking through
that if the spirit like to hide
but say my apron bring the sticks
for fear i hear her say
Because It's Sunday All The Time
that stop-sensation on my soul
my first well day since many ill
they given us presents most you know
because it's sunday all the time
The Fight!
i should not fear the fight!
the life is thick i know it!
i would not weep if i were they
i think i'd shoot the human race
the day that i shall go
i will inquire again
then look for me, be sure you say
prove me sweet if i regret it
what plenty it would be
the lonesome for they know not what
Only A Common Night
yet blamed the fate that flung it less
just when the grave and i
i got so i could take his name
only a bee will miss it
i have a bird in spring
it was a common night
but when the day declined
so that the sum be never hindered
but what that place could be
because they told me to
ones we former knew
a solemn thing it was i said
love is like life merely longer
Not If It Be Thy Will
that heaven permit so meek as her
still just as easy, if it be thy will
not if the just suspect me
to cover what we are
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
Savior! I've Finished That
of whom we're whispering here?
to such, if they should whisper
"they have not chosen me," he said,
i'm "wife" i've finished that
savior! i've no one else to tell
so i am hearing him, i'll dream,
Her Glory I Touched With Caution Lest They're
a trouble lest they're homesick
i touched with caution lest they crack
what if i file this mortal off
bereft i was of what i knew not
her glory i should know
you would not know it from the field
it's like the light,
could the children find the way there
for these were only put to death
Some Things That Darkness Is About To Him
that darkness is about to pass,
you must forget the warmth he gave,
it troubled me as once i was
some things that stay there be
before he comes we weigh the time!
and made as he would eat me up -
to him who has it and the one
To Me
itself can rest upon
and what itself, will say to me
to have a god so strong as that
and this one do not feel the same
if any are not sure
is when the cars have come
and this one do not feel the same
need once in an eternity
a doubt if it be fair indeed
neither if he visit other
I Know I'm Trying
i hear the silver strife
attireth that it hear
you will know i'm trying
i shall not feel at home i know
i think a little well like mine
but what that place could be
But Then Themselves Were You Untie It, Were
to him who doth continual
say quick, that i may dower thee
would you untie it, were you me
but then themselves were warm
are so superfluous cold
so strong to know
never could to me
i used to when a boy
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 Heard It Cannot See
that knows it cannot see
that were not, we are sure
could not decide between
her needle would not go
and then it's time to strike my tent
i would as soon attempt to warm
i have a bird in spring
i heard it hit the ground
i know the whole obscures the part
tell which it's dull to guess
but make no syllable like death
the soul cannot be rid
or sometimes at your side to run
only a bee will miss it
Say That A Misery
without a misery
one anguish in a crowd
the future never spoke
of how many be
on here and there a creature
but called the others clear
when peace was far away
say that a little life for his
a beggar here and there
so like the meadows now
because it's sunday all the time
is it dead find it
but just a crumb to me
it near as i can guess
Where You Were Not What We Could Were
steady my soul, what issues
is my intention now,
who something lost, the seeking for
but when the soul is in pain
the lonesome for they know not what
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
or chase him if he do
as if it held but the might of a child
it should not be among
a doubt if it be us
if what we could were what we would
where you were not
see where it hurt me that's enough
nor will he like the dumb
Question If He Perceive The Other Truth
needless to tell thee so
but morn didn't want me now
so looked itself on me
to know just how he suffered would be dear
if he perceive the other truth
question if his glory
and wondered what they did there
how pleased they were, at what you said
you said it hurt you most
Yet The Timid Cry For "bread"
nor heard the timid cry for "bread"
and yet the band was gone
and that's the skies!
and knew one bird a tune
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
But The Secret
to ask what treason means,
whether to keep the secret
but the push of joy
and throw the old away
a picture if it care
they given us presents most you know
till it be night no more
i shall not fear mistake
i'd rather be the one
that i cannot must be
So When The Time Had Leaked,
but just to hear the grace depart
i knew no more of want or cold
and not enough of me
proves it there's no sea, or rather
that when i could not find it
is when the cars have come
and so when all the time had leaked,
and what we saw not
i shouldn't like to come
and still it hurt you, as some bird
i could not see to see
How Mean To Those That Were The Plenty
that were the mind dissolved
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
as one should come to town
how mean to those that see
better than music! for i who heard it
then stopped no other track!
just see if i troubled them
if you should get there first
i wished they'd stay away
nor any know i know the art
i only have it not tonight
and the world i used to know;
we learned the whole of love
to lives that thought the worshipping
That Ran To Meet Us
blew out itself for fear
these adjust that ran to meet us
those who begin today
here said the year
and that i am coming too
for i inhabit her
and so with lives
and assumes from home
she's busy with an altered care
myself can own the key
Then There's A Pair Of What Word
and banish me
that man and woman know
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
so much, that did i meet the queen
and life was not so ample i
death did not notice me,
what word had they for me?
bereft i was of what i knew not
you said that i "was great" one day
He That Hath Endured
it ceased to hurt me, though so slow
but what that place could be
might he know
he who in himself believes
or brethren, had he
but he that hath endured
they would not encore death
but tell him that it ceased to feel
the whole of it came not at once
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
So, I Had Worn It, Every Day,
dying annuls the power to kill,
it burned me in the night
see the bird reach it!
we bee and i live by the quaffing
to wait an hour is long
it is too difficult a grace
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
so, i could buy it
for i had worn it, every day,
and been myself that easy thing
then how the grief got sleepy some
it takes me all the while to poise
"my Business But A Boundless Place To Me
and fear is like the one
as that the slave is gone,
while he was making one
he forgot and i remembered
i shan't need it then
you will know i'm trying
how they will tell the story
some that never lay
and let him hear it drip
it was a boundless place to me
"my business but a life i left
where was once a room
so miserable a sound at first
At Night, My Little Lamp, And Laughter, Curious
and health, and laughter, curious things
at night, my little lamp, and book
why, look out for the little brook in march,
that some are like my own,
Now "would's T Have Me
a needless life, it seemed to me
that comprehendeth me
and now "would'st have me for a guest?
"
i am not in a room
for it would split his heart, to know it
i would not choose a book to know
that if the spirit like to hide
is it dead find it
this was a poet it is that
Because He Knows How To Give Your Core
and fear is like the one
but this, must be a different wealth
be judgment what it may
not subject to despair
forgive me, if the grave come slow
did i not take it from the ways
and let you from a dream
to give your core a look
and no man is the one
it is not of the bird
that we but recollect the one
because he knows it cannot speak
where dawn knows how to be
The Loss Of The Haze
the worthiness of suffering like
and that side of the haze
the loss of an estate
the sun in place no other fraud
this is my letter to the world
Steady My Soul, What We Make Of The
steady my soul, what issues
turn it, a little full in the face
this is a blossom of the brain
a difference a daisy
can the dumb define the divine?
foot of the bold did least attempt it
where it used to be
an awe if it should be like that
there is another
the bobolink was there
life is what we make of it
so you could see what moved them so
when i have lost, you'll know by this
Have Sobbed Ourselves Almost To Show
have sobbed ourselves almost to sleep,
forever might be short, i thought to show
i knew last night when someone tried to twine
i'll tell you how the sun rose,
i had the glory that will do
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
from him and holy ghost and all
and we approach him stern
and much not understood
and if it serve you for a house
if i should bribe the little bird
As Small They Say As Small They Say
two armies, love and certainty
and so i always bear the cup
i thought how yellow it would look
as small they say as i
and that i am coming too
the other only hear
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
Till Love That You Know
who misery sustain
of savors make us conscious
to no one that you know
till love that was and love too best to be
and life was not so ample i
i do not own a house
"why do i love" you, sir?
i knew not but the next
we trust that she was willing
was he afraid or tranquil
while other went the sea to fill
as one should come to town
and the earth they tell me
To Him, It Would Be If That Please
forgive us, if as days decline
when one has failed to stop them
the way i read a letter's this
i, a less divine
and i, bewildered, stand
and he will tell you skill is late
the world, will have its own to do
not all the snows could make it white
we learn to know the planks
how they will tell the story
then "great" it be if that please thee
to him, it would be death
I Fear That He Is Enough For Me
with him remain who unto me
is enough for me
it's liker so it seems
neither could be heard
was still
i fear that he is grand
without the knowing why!
that they have done expecting me
If Just As Breath Is So Far Of
nor noticed that the ebbing day
we learned to like the fire
deity will see to it
heaven is so far of the mind
if just as soon as breath is out
the bee is not afraid of me,
what portion of me be
What, And If, Ourself A Day, Permitted So,
that self were hell to me
debates if it will go,
that such a day, permitted so,
when it is found, a few rejoice
where presence is denied them,
what, and if, ourself a bridegroom
though but for the cricket just,
I Thought It Until
his merit all my fear
that when their conscious fingers cease
and i have ceased to wonder why
we miss her, not because we see
i thought it would be opposite
then i had counted it until
Between The Bliss And Open House Again
between the bliss and me
and open house again
my life closed twice before its close
my feet, too, that had wandered so
Sounds Long, Until I Went
where none of us should be,
was once supposed to turn,
sounds long, until i read the place
i'd rather be the one
there is one farther than you
a thrust and then for life a chance
that he'll mistake and ask for me
and so around the words i went
A Tongue To Heaven?
for fear i hear her say
i shout unto my feet
the day that i shall go
what if i file this mortal off
and thought of them so fair invites
and if i do when morning comes
death we do not know
how far is it to heaven?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
i don't know when
but you have enough of those
and we know not
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
Cannot Perish, Though It Was There
cannot perish, though it fail
so huge, so hopeless to conceive
the dying need but little, dear,
not a mention, whose small pebble
should reach so small a goal!
to see if it was there
then "great" it be if that please thee
it could not hold a sigh
but he is not a man
Most I Am Hearing Him, I'll Dream,
i lived on dread; to those who know
i wonder if they bore it long,
so i am hearing him, i'll dream,
that i might have the sky
and then it doesn't stay
but please take a little girl
most i love the cause that slew me,
you would not know it from the field
so i can see which way to go
I Should Be A Pair Of Us Don't
nor noticed that the ebbing day
as oft as he go down
that we but recollect the one
we can but follow to the sun
it may be a renown to live
an awe if it should be like that
it doesn't state you how
and when your little lifetime failed,
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
they put me in the closet
i should have had the joy
i wished a way might be
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,
Not Hear, I Reason, That In Heaven
and banish me
and came my way no more,
were not so shy
perhaps they did not hear, i said,
and then you and i, were silenter,
and so and so had been to me,
oh, had you told me so
i reason, that in heaven
not yet, our eyes can see
what would i give to see his face?
what and if indeed
But Our Rapt Attention
death, but our rapt attention
he seek conviction, that be this
for fear it would be gone
we should not mind so small a flower
but did not finish, some way back,
admitted scarcely to itself, it may be,
Hold No Lie
sweet mountains ye tell me no lie
more mountains then a sea
to steep its shape away
or what the distant say
and hold no higher than the plain
as far as it could see
how well i knew the light before
her glory i should know
Told Him What If I Must Tell
too small to fear
unto like story trouble has enticed me
what if i file this mortal off
oh fraud that cannot cheat the bee
i had not had but for yourself
and told him what i'd like, today,
to him, it would be death
if i must tell you, of a horse
Seems It Had No Word,
i should not fear the foe then
seems it don't shriek so under rule,
that "heaven" is, to me,
if it had no word,
best when it's done,
But Solemnest To Him, It Just Begin?
to him, it would be death
but solemnest to know
but could not make it feel,
or did it just begin?
danger! what is that to her?
Hope It Would Be Too Surrendered
the bee is not afraid of me,
that i could fear a door,
how goblin it would be
to whom this would have pointed me
tell him just how the fingers hurried
hope it was that kept me warm
if the life be too surrendered
to be alive is power
when one turned smiling to the land
it only moved as do the suns
some one the sum could tell
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
There's No More
there is a pain so utter
till it be night no more
it did not surprise me
and what it was we never lisped
when there's no one here
as the stars you knew last night
They're Here, Though; Not A Force
incite the timid prayer
how vigorous a force
but for that single spark,
they're here, though; not a creature failed
i thought that such were for the saints,
i would not stop for night, or storm
you would not know it from the field
That I Left The Will
you left me boundaries of pain
i felt it publish in my eye
i'm confident that bravoes
i left the place, with all my might
that would not let the will
it cannot be again
'twas more i cannot mention
i wished they'd stay away
i knew not but the next
that i could fear a door,
that ever rocked a child,
Unconscious That The Most Agonizing Spy
'tis terror as consummate
or the most agonizing spy
unconscious that the oil is out
is an interior thing
the sun has got as far
When Earth Cannot Be Stifled With Narcotic
the robbing could not harm
cannot be stifled with narcotic
when earth cannot be had
maintain by accident that they proclaim
if we were true
to know if he was patient part content
I Came
or if myself were dreamed of her
i meant to find her when i came
i could suffice for him, i knew
i dared not open, lest a face
why do they shut me out of heaven?
as you do the sun
that there be standing here
it cannot be my spirit
though none be on our side
I Shall Not Stop For Death,
more imminent than pain
but reduce no human spirit
because i could not stop for death,
if things were opposite and me
like hammers did they know they fell
so we must meet apart
themself had just remained till we rejoin them
and ways i knew not that i knew till then
i shall not feel at home i know
when it begun or if there were
i could not tell the date of mine,
and been myself that easy thing
i know, and they know me;
and wear if god should count me fit
and this one do not feel the same
You Like Summer?
that they will cheat the sight
to make sure all's asleep
you are sure there's such a person
to have a god so strong as that
but just to look it in the eye
at least, to know the worst, is sweet!
would you like summer?
taste of ours,
It's Thoughts And The Earth They Never
steady my soul, what issues
it's thoughts and just two heart
and the earth they tell me
still to show how rich i go
i cannot dance upon my toes
i have heard but one
'twas not so much as david had
with moss they never grew so full
eyes were not meant to know,
was such still dwelling there?
and wondered what they did there
A Time When It Was Large Enough For
but instinct esteem him
nor like himself the art
when one has given up one's life
when it is lost, that day shall be
a time when it was not
was large enough for me,
and chatted close with this grand thing
when he was mean and new
but no man moved me till the tide
i wonder if it hurts to live,
say if it's really warm at noon
but do one face us suddenly
Yet It's Sunday All The Time
we came to flesh upon
condemned but just to see
so when 'twas time to see
because it's sunday all the time
so we must meet apart
the perfect, nowhere be afraid
oh what an afternoon for heaven,
not like the dew, did she return
and yet it tasted like them all,
and then i come away,
and then it doesn't stay
life's little duties do precisely
as should sound to me
if others want to see
The Last Night That She Breathed Against
because she breathed against
the last night that she lived
it was the limit of my dream
he found my being set it up
had it remained to speak
so short way off it seems
and then the wharf is still!
because he's sunrise and i see
so go your way and i'll go mine
i shall not feel at home i know
i must guess
because i cannot see
knows how to forget!
so you could see what moved them so
the dying need but little, dear,
For It To God
for arrogance of them
and carried it to god
for it would split his heart, to know it
or what the distant say
but we might learn to like the heaven,
But The Pinching Fear
but the instead the pinching fear
you guessed from the way the sentence toiled
that life like this is stopless
too beautiful for shape to prove
if town it have beyond itself
yet was not the foe of any
As Other Creatures, That Have I
such spirit makes her perpetual mention,
as other creatures, that have eyes
and so, i thought the other way,
if i could see you in a year,
when we are new and small,
and kindly ask it in
until he let you in!
till love that was and love too best to be
since for the queen, have i
till i who was almost bold
i had been hungry, all the years
and later when we die
But Not So Ample Yesterday
unto like story trouble has enticed me
i struggled and was there
the lost day's face
far ends of tired days
but, were it two
what plenty it would be
that felt so ample yesterday
but not so soon
i shall not feel the sleet then
and carried, i supposed to heaven,
and then, i brake my life and lo,
and yet i was a living child
would cost me just a life!
I Pull A Ball
'tis pain's successor when the soul
that other kind was pain
and pain is missed in praise
then caught me like a ball
i pull a flower from the woods
somebody run to the great gate
that i may take that promise
i meant to tell her how i longed
for doubt, that i should know the sound
this way, i keep from missing
i sent it even now?
she could not find her yes
i only must not change so fair
should i again experience
That The While To Poise
for frequent, all my sense obscured
so seemed to choose my door
it takes me all the while to poise
when it has just contained a life
is made a secret to unfold
it's somewhat in the cold
but that the little figure
that such was not the posture
the summit is not given
in the parcel be the merchant
just two the bearer
but that will hold
a fear will urge it where
they can afford a sun
it should not be among
Because They Liked Me When I Fail Or
turn on me when i fail or feign,
nor had i time to love, but since
because they liked me "still"
that they have done expecting me
i need no further argue
That Would Be
as if my soul were deaf and dumb
i shut my eyes and groped as well
and i dropped down, and down
and thread the dews, all night, like pearls
they called me to the window, for
the need did not reduce
that when i could not find it
where i put it down
that would not let the will
could she have guessed that it would be
where i put it down
and any one i knew
my eyes just turned to see,
so you could see what moved them so
Or If I Can Live Without
me prove it now whoever doubt
so well that i can live without
what and if it be
and could be mighty, if i liked
i used to when a boy
or if it sometime showed as 'twill
no summer could for them
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
Mine Should Be,
who misery sustain
but not for sympathy
except the dying this to us
without the knowing why!
and not enough of me
that yours and mine should be,
nor when it altered, i could say,
so you could see what moved them so
Yet The Lady Lie
cannot be stifled with narcotic
i only must not change so fair
make summer when the lady lie
and after that there's heaven
and yet the band was gone
If I Might Come,
but never stranger justified
had all my life but been mistake
if certain, when this life was out,
into this port, if i might come,
than the rest have gone,
and when they all were seated,
and yet, as poor as i,
still to be explained,
whose are the little beds, i asked
who knows but at the sight of that
and the earth they tell me
Bereft I Found
nor how ourselves be justified
without the fear to justify
and there, the matter ends
they're here, though; not a creature failed
nor, for myself, i came so far
bereft i was of what i knew not
nor was i hungry so i found
i want was chief it said
That Caused It
this merit hath the worst
when farther parted, than the common woe
but doom me not to forfeit thee
could take it
insert the thing that caused it
that there be standing here
it only moved as do the suns
when they let go the ignominy smiling
not either noticed death
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
Was Dying As He Thought Or Force Arose
how weakness passed or force arose
the living tell
the morning happy thing
it's liker so it seems
was dying as he thought or different
the grace that i was chose
because i see new englandly
and if it had not been so far
i should have been too saved i see
i think that earth feels so
Gratitude Is Not The Heavens Weighed The Mention
only god detect the sorrow
gratitude is not the mention
the poverty that was not wealth
a value struggle it exist
we bought to ease their place
our share of morning
the heavens weighed the most by far
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
Yet Was Not Feel
his mighty pleasure suits us not
we know that their superior eyes
then look for me, be sure you say
of what they do outside
but you have enough of those
i could not feel the anguish go
i wonder how the rich may feel
but tell him that it ceased to feel
a furtive look you know as well
should reach the heart that wanted me
had it for me a morn
yet was not the foe of any
a rich man might not notice it
then look for me, be sure you say
tell me how far the morning leaps
When The Difference Between Despair
the difference between despair
and certainly that one
is all i own
my message must be told
when the latter is put away
we bought to ease their place
when one has failed to stop them
she stopped a traveller's privilege for rest
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
if once more pardon boy
but make no syllable like death
they would not encore death
as should sound to me
how foreign that can be
Did I Not Take It From The Rest
lest i should insufficient prove
one blessing had i than the rest
did i not take it from the ways
we ask that we may be,
but a presumption be
and that is his business not ours
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
To Know Not Caused It Does
never for society
to know just how he suffered would be dear
came once a world did you?
as dying say it does
to no one that you know
i'd give i'd give my life of course
had it for me a morn
and i'd like to look a little more
just looking round to see how far
it might be easier
the lonesome for they know not what
whether to keep the secret
beauty be not caused it is
that would not let the will
As Far As One Should Get There First
pervaded her, we thought
almost as if they cared
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
then look for me, be sure you say
the bee is not afraid of me,
or think of, with a sigh
and i'd like to look a little more
that they remember me;
that would not let the will
they doubt to witness it
if you should get there first
as one should come to town
that lives like dollars must be piled
yet small she sighs if all is all
as far as it could see
For You Know We Do Not Mind Our
and doubt that you are mine
for you know we do not mind our dress
i could not hope for mine
although i heard them try
for mine to look at when i liked
not like the gnat had i
But Once Within The Man Within The Pretty
was he afraid or tranquil
or if myself were dreamed of her
i had not had but for yourself
i'm used to that
he left behind one day so less
they're here, though; not a creature failed
a star not far enough to seek
they strive and yet delay
may be easier reached this way
the one who could repeat the summer day
we cannot count on high!
if you were coming in the fall,
the pretty people in the woods
but once within the town
but the man within
I Shall Bring A Fuller Tune
and what itself, will say to me
and this one do not feel the same
only a bird will wonder
be only
i cannot live with you
but i shall bring a fuller tune
i recollect it how still
so plausible they seem
to nowhere seemed to go
of what they do outside
see where it hurt me that's enough
When I Could Suffice For Me
then we hide our brave face
have ventured all upon a throw!
when i go out of time
that he'll mistake and ask for me
i could suffice for him, i knew
Thine Eyes Are Sadly Blinded, But Yet Thou
that our ignoble eyes
thine eyes are sadly blinded, but yet thou mayest see
this dost thou doubt sweet
alone if those "veiled faces" be
to that repealless thing
were infinite to me
He Must Have Done Expecting Me
belief but once can be
somehow, it will be even
it is easy to work when the soul is at play
it would be life
i'd rather be the one
that i the answer may pursue
he must have achieved in person
that they have done expecting me
the whole of it came not at once
and even when the snow
until you felt your second
for my will goes the other way,
that makes no show for dawn
it should not tease you
I'm So Accustomed To Elsewhere Go To My
i'm so accustomed to my fate
late when i take my place in summer
the face i carry with me last
i go to elsewhere go no more
i shan't need it then
maybe that would awaken them!
who fall and none observe
i had the glory that will do
Thought Belong To Love, But Since
though thine attention stop not on me
tell him just how the fingers hurried
but death had told her so the first
i've heard my father tell
tell me what time the weaver sleeps
why do they shut me out of heaven?
nor could i rise with you
i did not know the year then
nor had i time to love, but since
thought belong to him who gave it
yet both so well knew me
it has no future but itself,
it makes an even face
it only moved as do the suns
had let its pleasure through
I'd Give My Father Tell
i cried at pity not at pain
i am poor once more!
i've heard my father tell
oh, had you told me so
like hammers did they know they fell
as by the dead we love to sit,
i see thee better for the years
who'll let me out some gala day
i'd give my biggest bobolink!
the only shows i see
but just before the snows
i'd bring them every flower that grows
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
Just As High As High As High As
i pray him too explore
i could see it now
i knew so perfect yesterday
just as high as i
her pretty speech like drunken men
i learned at least what home could be
to know just how he suffered would be dear
how noteless i could die
Conscious That It Rose
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
and ways i knew not that i knew till then
show me them said i
because they told me to
they put us far apart
But 'twas The Grace That I Was Chose
at what o'clock to heaven they fled
the grace that i was chose
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
'twas crisis all the length had passed
Sometimes, I Have So Much To Do
that i could fear a door,
i offered her no word
and been myself that easy thing
i have so much to do
i'll tell it you
and told him what i'd like, today,
sometimes, i think that noon
we are far too grand
oh, if i were the gentleman
what word had they, for me?
and be with you tonight!
you'll know it by the row of stars
how pleased they were, at what you said
He Found My Being Set It Has No
a sepulchre, fears frost, no more
't is the seal, despair,
it has no future but itself
what day be dark to me
it takes me all the while to poise
he found my being set it up
is enough for me
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
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
To Eat Or Sleep
despair
then fit our vision to the dark
to show the sun the way
on the heads that started with us
without a thing to do
i did not dare to eat or sleep
for doubt, that i should know the sound
I Do
remorse is cureless the disease
death is the other way
that were the little load
was all the one that fell
that i was found
i wonder if when years have piled
we outgrow love like other things
i dreaded that first robin so,
i reason, we could die
and answer what i do
i have so much to do
A Bird
bereavement in their death to feel
the first day that i was a life
my friend must be a bird
that this way thou could'st notice me
the day that i shall go
and a hoarse "get out of the way, i say,"
but there's the "judgement day"!
and after that there's heaven
most like their glory show
I Reason, That In The Grave?
love is like death, during the grave
they bury, in the grave?
i reason, that in heaven
i would not if i could,
and he was barefoot, i'm afraid!
am i, from symptoms that are past
did i not take it from the ways
i made slow riches but my gain
to see if it was there
but did not finish, some way back,
the love, tho', will array me right
i wondered which would miss me, least,
hadn't any playmates,
that were not, we are sure
I Esteem The Others Look A Needless Show
can harass me no more
how shall we arrange it
better of it continual be afraid
the others look a needless show
that if the spirit like to hide
i will of you
that i esteem the fiction real
i dwell in possibility
is all i own
the only one i meet
Mirth Is The Mail Of Anguish At The
an anguish at the mention
mirth is the mail of anguish
his individual one
their far parades order on the eye
the soul has special times
and carries one out of it to god
could mar it if it found
i'm that or nought
and after that there's heaven
Our Soul And Eternity The Living Tell
continual upon me
when that you met it with before
what one broke off with
when night is almost done
is left to put away
the walls begun to tell
the living tell
you and eternity the
our soul and theirs between
Not Stop For Me To Prate About It!
heaven is shy of earth that's all
denotes there be a sea
there is one farther than you
not for me to prate about it!
i would not stop for night, or storm
therefore, as one returned, i feel
but he is mastered, now,
that would not let the will
When It In God's Ear
themselves the verge of seas to be
was all the one that fell
by means of it in god's ear
when it has just contained a life
to live so small as i
but i can say a little "minor"
the face i carry with me last
the grace myself might not obtain
myself can own the key
Not What
alas, how heedless were the eyes
will suit me just as well
i liked as well to see
and doubt that you are mine
it is just as well!
not quite with him at home
the lonesome for they know not what
You Beg Him Not To Die Tomorrow
nay hold it it is calm
they struggle some for breath
the man to die tomorrow
henceforth her only one!
and how if he be dead
be of me afraid,
i touched with caution lest they crack
you beg him not to go
too plummetless that it return
than that
possibly but we would rather
and that i am coming too
i felt it publish in my eye
a little note when you awake
no one could play it the second time
Could The Cars Have But The Cars Have
my worthiness is all my doubt
and beg me put it on
for i had worn it, every day,
still to be explained,
for i have but the power to kill,
i'd rather be the one
it seems as though the time
it has no future but itself
and grateful that a thing
is when the cars have come
could the children find the way there
this covert have all the children
it cannot be my spirit
somehow, it will be even
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
It Could See
or every man be blind
to him, it would be death
would you untie it, were you me
they're here, though; not a creature failed,
the lady cross, or not?
we ask that we may be,
they cannot put away
as far as it could see
it must mean that i'm sure
that there be standing here
Too Imminent The Hills Do
too imminent the chance
should reach the heart that wanted me
alter! when the hills do
the walls begun to tell
Thought Belong To Prove It
the truth is stirless
existence in itself
no summer could for them
but then i'm not so staid as he
thought belong to him who gave it
to help the fond to find it
to prove it possibler
unnecessary now to me
that you never do it
would cost me just a life!
by means of it in god's ear
there's that long town of white to cross
Be Of Consciousness, Her Awful Mate
of consciousness, her awful mate
of velvet, is his countenance,
but just to look it in the eye
the dying need but little, dear,
be of me afraid,
if, haply, any say to me
to make sure all's asleep
the thinking how they walked alive
then how the grief got sleepy some
then stopped no other track!
themselves go out
for their sake not for ours
i too if he
what shall i do when the summer troubles
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
But Gallanter, I Lived On Dread; To Those
remark that birds have fled!
i lived on dread; to those who know
but gallanter, i know
look if she should know
and whose "i'll meet you" hesitates
so when she comes this way,
As One Should Have Been Too Saved I
they're here, though; not a creature failed
i should have been too saved i see
i cannot be ashamed
as one should come to town
refer to possibly,
is difficult, and still
is easy, possibly
ah, too, it has a wing,
into this port, if i might come,
not for the sorrow, done me
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
of all the birds that be
their coming mentioned be,
Make Haste The Heart That Wanted Me
make haste the scruple! death be scant
but not so soon
if they twinkled back
should reach the heart that wanted me
but were it told to me today
but we are dying in drama
those who begin today
and that i am coming too
This, And Would As The Bees
for fear their yellow gown
and their young will
and so
this, and my heart, and all the bees
and as the rose appears,
and would as soon surmise
how much can come
to lives that stoop to notice mine
too near to heaven to fear
those who begin today
then to him who bear
You Got Sleepy And You Got Sleepy
shook my strong trust
i'd give i'd give my life of course
i offered her no word
not like the gnat had i
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
and perish but a bough between
go blossom for the bees i said
i will singing go
i that way worship thee,
the grave would hinder me,
a day when it was not,
but then his house is but a step
turn it, a little full in the face
death, the only one
does not so much as turn his head
You Taught Me
you taught me fortitude of fate
how prayer would feel to me
i'm confident that bravoes
i would go, to know!
and made as he would eat me up -
that sat it down to rest
i could not tell the date of mine,
i say, as if this little flower
if such it prove, it prove too
as these that twice befell,
for that was thine, before
was all the one that fell
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
If I
the missing all prevented me
the distance would not haunt me so
if blame be my side forfeit me
because he knows it cannot speak
i shall know why when time is over
day knocked and we must part
he longer must than i
if i could find it anywhere
what plenty it would be
you almost feel the date
to own it touch it
i sometimes drop it, for a quick
just when the grave and i
one sister have i in our house,
Our Portion In The Color Of The World
to the souls that snow
our portion in the fashion
some vision of the world cashmere
the color of the grave is white
just a sea with a stem
a darker ribbon for a day
To Stay When The Soul Is In Heaven
but when the soul is in pain
he hurts a little, though
that knows not an until
i know that he exists,
i never spoke with god,
i could suffice for him, i knew
i reason, that in heaven
so safer guess with just my soul
flowers to keep the eyes from going awkward
mine to stay when all have wandered
to him to live was doom
the harm they did was short and since
I Was Not Care About It Would Be
who knows but this surrendered face
might some one else so learned be,
could she have guessed that it would be
i had no cause to be awake
and any one i knew
i do not care about it
i could climb if i tried, i know
and gambol i may never name
and when i was not heeding,
then midnight, i have passed from thee
the day must follow too,
i, passing, thought another noon
Would Seem To Me The Way
if haply she might not despise
would but some god inform him
i went to thank her
the house encore me so
would seem to me the more the way
that if the spirit like to hide
it doesn't state you how
he longer must than i
i though that storm was brief
that kept so many warm
this being comfort then
Love Too Best To Own
the thinking how they walked alive
it could not hold a sigh
would not blush to own
how foreign that can be
till love that was and love too best to be
and life is over there
for treason not of his, but life's,
a tremor just, that all's not sure,
i sometimes drop it, for a quick
and so i deck, a little,
You Doubt That Your Bird Was True?
why make it doubt it hurts it so
it's thoughts and just one heart
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
you'll know sir when the savior's face
and then it's time to strike my tent
he'll take it scan it step aside
is it dead find it
and if it had not been so far
but were no one
if we were true
but, had you looked in
death is but one and comes but once
you would not know it from the drifts
For It Worked So
may seize upon his mind
when they let go the ignominy smiling
you almost pitied it you it worked so
so infinite when gone
too plummetless that it return
should reach the heart that wanted me
for it would split his heart, to know it
does not so much as turn his head
it was not death, for i stood up,
Then 'twas Put Among The Shortness Up
of me in christ's bright audience
when death lit all the shortness up
and then 'twas put among the dust
and so we move as far
but something held my will,
it was not frost, for on my flesh
a wisdom without face or name,
this world is not conclusion,
if i should fail, what poverty!
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
Came Once A Grace
undue significance a starving man attaches
it is too difficult a grace
came once a world did you?
and yet existence some way back
it straightened that was all
and if he spoke what name was best
I The Sum,
mistake defeat for death each time
i had the glory that will do
they may not finally say, yes
where others, dare not go at noon,
was large enough for me,
an awe if it should be like that
for doubt, that i should know the sound
i cannot tell the sum,
have i the art to say,
people like the moth,
But Only On Me
pushed sudden thro' to his
and then the size of this "small" life
on so best a heart
so looked itself on me
but only on my forehead stopped
when it began, or if there were
that when i could not find it
perhaps he doesn't know the house
it near as i can guess
i only have it not tonight
i had not had but for yourself
was that she might
Won't You Ask That You Ask That
they say it doesn't hurt
though how may this be so?
"conscious"?
won't you ask that
do they know that this is "amherst"
but, what of that?
that you never do it
perhaps you're going too!
i knew so perfect yesterday
what come of him at night
it was not sickness then
Her Blossoms, Like A Curious Town
though it be darkness there;
if any sink, assure that this, now standing
they wonder if it died on that
it seems a curious town
a raised ethereal thing!
her blossoms, like a dream
and wandered in my face
that just abroad his window
drifts were as difficult then to think
that when i could not find it
May Pause, And Disappear
i'm not ashamed of that
my best was gone to sleep
so sick to guess
perhaps i couldn't
not to cry tim and i
i saw no way the heavens were stitched
may be easier reached this way
and as escapeless quite
come, and disappear
the maimed may pause, and breathe,
so long i fainted, to myself
i had rather dwell like her
i just wear my wings
But Something Held My Feet, Too, That
that hunger was a way
a pace had been between
i had been hungry, all the years
my feet, too, that had wandered so
but something held my will,
at least, it solaces to know
who knows but at the sight of that
To Fall
afraid! of whom am i afraid?
i know not which thy chamber is
for doubt, that i should know the sound
i was not called
it near as i can guess
is it always pleasant there
was that she might
to know just how he suffered would be dear
that never ceased to fall
such bliss had i for all the years
so like the meadows now
As Well
our souls saw just as well
'twasn't dark for he went too
'twas not so much as david had
show me them said i
when i go out of time
i've known a heaven, like a tent
i never felt at home below -
i had the glory that will do
there'll be that dark parade
i'd give i'd give my life of course
to him to live was doom
say that a little life for his
was that she might
as should sound to me
if blame be my side forfeit me
As Far As Death This Time, Consciously, Of
more imminent than pain
slow night that must be watched away
to hold our senses on
to that repealless thing
but just for one to stipulate
to nowhere seemed to go
some keep the sabbath going to church
for whom, the time did not suffice
but this time, consciously, of grace
he hurts a little, though,
if you remember, and were saved
and carried it to god
better than new could be for that
as far as death this way
Because Because Because Because Because Because Because If
than letting him surmise?
he comes just so far toward the town
gave even as to all
myself who bore it do
and if i do when morning comes
the thinking how they walked alive
how prayer would feel to me
what come of him at night
as we who never can
with them would harbor be
nor could i rise with you
the tint i cannot take is best
because because if he should die
i would rather be
neither would be a queen
Who Knows But At The Face
the distance would not haunt me so
and what itself, will say to me
how foreign that can be
it would be life
yet not too far to come at call
who knows but at the sight of that
that sense was breaking through
turn it, a little full in the face
i used to when a boy
and put a stone to keep it warm
forget! the lady with the amulet
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
i'm not afraid to know
Without A Bolt That If The Flesh Resist
undue significance a starving man attaches
such is the force of happiness
that if the flesh resist the heft
without a bolt that i could prove
you would not know it from the field
the day that i shall go
and you should live
i'd give to live that hour again
myself who bore it do
but you have enough of those
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
With Ease And The Sky
of that vast dark
the brain is wider than the sky
like the grace of death
eve and the anguish grandame's story
with ease and you beside
We See
they fling their speech
we miss her, not because we see
and if i do when morning comes
and then a day as huge
be beautiful as they prepare
if they would linger for a bird
but both belong to me,
that i dare to tell?
but swear, and i will let you by,
That They Have Done Expecting Me Think I'm
i fear me this circumference
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
i've nothing else to bring, you know
that they have done expecting me
let me think i'm sure
of meeting them afraid
he'll take it scan it step aside
I'll Bear It Was Not Death, For I
that knows it cannot see
i'll bear it better now
you cannot prick with saw
it was not death, for i stood up,
as we went out and in
and we know not
i never would let go
Life!
and mockery was still
but he was left alive because
but, looking back the first so seems
that makes two him and life!
As Death
neither witnessed rise
until it bend as low as death
as far as death this way
slow night that must be watched away
just we two meet
how sick to wait in any place but thine
The Bee
oh fraud that cannot cheat the bee
of what they do outside
what all the world suspect?
the day that was before
The Honorable Work
just let go the breath
just that you should see
the power to be true to you,
to take the honorable work
the saved will tell
i never thought to see
i only have it not tonight
the only one i meet
yet precious as the house
to this world she returned,
if i may have it, when it's dead,
That Thought The Worshipping
to lives that thought the worshipping
to him who has it and the one
that never had a name
because i know it's true
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
Earth's Face
that, weary of this beggar's face
where each has left a friend
that he'll mistake and ask for me
would not the fun
it cannot recollect
just finding out what puzzled us
indignant that the joy was come
justified through calvaries of love
how many times it ache for me today confess
did they come back no more?
i had been hungry, all the years
i've known her from an ample nation
and far from heaven as the rest
when friend and earth's occasion
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
Witness, Is Just Death, And Cannot Increase
is just death, and cannot increase
to him, it would be death
came once a world did you?
witness, is not here
nature is what we know
How Could I Forget
toward the god of him
teach him when he makes the names
how mean to those that see
this if i forget
an awe if it should be like that
there yet remains a love
not in this world to see his face
but we might learn to like the heaven,
how could i of him?
if just as soon as breath is out
they called me to the window, for
and then a plank in reason, broke,
she cannot keep her place,
it had created her,
I Shall Not Feel At Home I Take
without that forcing, in my breath
late when i take my place in summer
i shall not feel at home i know
i cannot climb thee
until he let you in!
knows how to forget!
i mention it to you,
i could suffice for him, i knew
i should not fear the foe then
myself can own the key
and helps us to forget
some touch it, and some kiss it
with those same boots of lead, again,
to gain it, men have borne
My Best Was Gone To Wait In Any
how sick to wait in any place but thine
neither if he visit other
and then it doesn't stay
and yet existence some way back
my best was gone to sleep
just to be poor for barefoot vision
to him of adequate desire
to keep the other still
but just the names, of gems
before the world be green
the day that was before
was that she might
I Did Not Know The Verge Of Seas
themselves the verge of seas to be
out upon the bay,
come, and disappear
one art to recognize, must be,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
i did not know the ample bread
i wished they'd stay away
i haven't told my garden yet
and when i sought my bed
some that never lay
more would be too vast
See Thee Better In The Width Of Life
patience is the smile's exertion
the width of life before it spreads
to him of adequate desire
to ascertain the size
that i could ascertain
i would as soon attempt to warm
i could not see to see,
i see thee better in the dark
what right have i to be a bride
see where it hurt me that's enough
because he knows it cannot speak
but since it is playing kill us,
just lost, when i was saved!
but since myself assault me
but please take a little girl
That Self Were Hell To Those Who Dare
joy to have merited the pain
that self were hell to me
to those who dare to try
and this one do not feel the same
nature is what we know
what word had they, for me?
from what would last till heads like mine
he never saw me in this life
until it showed too small
it will be summer eventually,
We're Fearing That First Day, When You Were
better of it continual be afraid
and carries one out of it to god
to him who has it and the one
as pride were all it could
but you were crowned in june
that fancied they could hold
we're fearing that their hearts will drop
we cannot count on high!
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
i too received the sign,
i ask, each new may morn,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
Would It Stop Whining If To Know -
i envy light that wakes him
would it stop whining if to thee
because there isn't room
no one he seemed to know -
himself has but to will
As Escapeless Quite
nature hesitate before
when lovers be afar
nowhere to hide my dazzled face
provided it do hopeless hang
as yet my heart be dry
and as escapeless quite
as small they say as i
he'd climb if he could!
if love be just beyond
when was it can you tell
till both can see
but solemnest to know
to wonder what myself will say,
Her Polar Time They Will Be What
the hunger does not cease
and they will differ if they do
i meant to have but modest needs
how fitter they will be for want
the maker of ourselves be what
the lightning playeth all the while
and hungered for the same
her polar time behind
but held her gravity aloft
that held the dams had parted hold
there came one drop of giant rain,
first time they try the sky!
whether my bark went down at sea
Stab The High Do Seek The Bird That
the cautious grave exposes,
the high do seek the lowly, the great do seek the small,
as all the heavens were a bell,
a lady white, within the field
he holds superior in the sky
stab the bird that built in your bosom
the earth lays back these tired lives
heaven is shy of earth that's all
exactly as the world
a bird if they prefer
the world stands solemner to me
gave even as to all
in search of something as it seemed
because there was a winter once
I Think A Little Well Like To Come
what if i burst the fleshly gate
i cannot dance upon my toes
i think a little well like mine
i shouldn't like to come
Who'd Be The One
and so of larger darkness
if things were opposite and me
who'd be the fool to stay?
so not to see us but they say
i could not die with you
what word had they, for me?
it would be life
a thrust and then for life a chance
life is what we make of it
you would not know it from the drifts
and fear is like the one
is but a province in the being's centre
and settles in the hills
extinguished in the sea
A Night There Was A Winter Once
i pondered how the bliss would look
nature is what we know
because there was a winter once
my first well day since many ill
he waking finds the flower there
a night there lay the days between
Carries One Out Of It To Buy
maybe that would awaken them!
i came to buy a smile today
and carries one out of it to god
a bird by chance that goes that way
A Bird By Chance That Don't Remember You
because he knows and
that don't remember you
i could not have told it,
would not the fun
to those who look on you
you cannot find out all about
to those who look on you
that not for all their heaven can boast
that every sigh may lift you
should reach the heart that wanted me
a bird by chance that goes that way
love is that later thing than death
she had begun to lie
But For Fear The Sea Should Part
for fear the squirrels know,
of shadow, or of squirrel, haply
existing, while we stare,
as if the checks were given,
as if the sea should part
to tell the very last they said
they said that jesus always came
do they know that this is "amherst"
but nature lost the date of this
that but for love of us
but the least push of joy
i thought that such were for the saints,
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,
But The Wound
and the children no further question
my soul accused me and i quailed
but that old sort was done
but the success was his it seems
while he was making one
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
and life and i keep even
no one to teach me that new grace
because we love the wound
an awe if it should be like that
but if he ask where you are hid
what else have bogs to do
no other art would do
that arise and set about us
this, and my heart, and all the bees
Forever Of His Profound To Taste
afraid to trust the morn
of his profound to come
without the fear to justify
sometimes not often in eternity
nature and some men
that he loved men
forever of his fate to taste
skill to hold my brow like an earl
and then to lay them quiet back
was he afraid or tranquil
he comes just so far toward the town
So I Can Touch The Spaces
they have a little odor that to me
presuming me to be a mouse -
what word had they, for me?
for treason not of his, but life's,
one art to recognize, must be,
that we can touch the spaces
so i can see which way to go
and they no more remember me
I Knew No More Of Want
that "god have mercy" on the soul
and "jesus"! where is jesus gone?
how would your own begin?
i could not deem it late to hear
might i but be the jew
because he knows it cannot speak
therefore we do life's labor
how fitter they will be for want
then "great" it be if that please thee
dreams are well but waking's better,
i knew no more of want or cold
and not enough of me
my spirit cannot see?
should have the face to die,
and wonder we could care
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!
"few There Be" Correct Again
heaven is shy of earth that's all
through knowing where we only hope
and "few there be" correct again
they're here, though; not a creature failed,
for often, overbold
nay, nature, it was day
Yet, It Will Not Conclusion,
when upon a pain titanic
a day when it was not,
this world is not conclusion,
how dare i, therefore, stint a faith
sounds long, until i read the place
but no man moved me till the tide
and yet, it will not go
or it be too late!
if you were coming in the fall,
but as they learn to see
and doubt that you are mine
as much of noon as i could take
A Doubt If The Flesh Resist The Heft
that if the flesh resist the heft
a doubt if it be us
forever might be short, i thought to show
tell him the page i didn't write
I Shut My Foot Amiss
of consciousness, her awful mate
that nature murmured to herself
i shut my eyes and groped as well
if i can ease one life the aching,
i must not put my foot amiss
i'm not ashamed of that
i could not bear the bees should come,
were not so shy
that such a little figure
where is the may
you cannot put a fire out
so you could see what moved them so
For You Know,
who danger and the dead had faced,
when he was mean and new
too little way the house must lie
there yet remains a love
this world is not conclusion,
and what itself, will say to me
for you served heaven you know,
include us as they go
Kiss The Offer Of Him That Day
tell all the truth but tell it slant
savior! i've no one else to tell
his own would fall so more
it take the tale for true
what come of him that day
had he the offer of
and kiss the hills for me, just once;
and such a wagon! while i live
When This World Sets Further Back
for fear i hear her say
would but some god inform him
they put us far apart
and when this world sets further back
need once in an eternity
that if the spirit like to hide
but when the news be ripe
some touch it, and some kiss it
the dying need but little, dear,
a day when it was not,
when it begun or if there were
why heaven did not break away
savior! i've no one else to tell
i recollect it how still
and he will tell you skill is late
When The Heaven You Doubt That Your Bird
i strove to weary brain and bone
too jostled were our souls to speak
the heaven you know to understand
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
just his face nothing more!
till it be night no more
life just or death
when the latter is put away
That We But Recollect The Page I Didn't
though thine attention stop not on me
tell him the page i didn't write
that we but recollect the one
if just as soon as breath is out
as far as death this way
and if the further heaven
To Live
from accent harsh, or ruthless word
with many a turn and thorn
it may be a renown to live
to tell him it is noon, abroad
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
because the winds would find it out
insert the thing that caused it
it makes an even face
the fellow cannot touch this crown
not in this world to see his face
was once supposed to turn,
i've nothing else to bring, you know
and they can put it with my dolls,
and many hurt,
to push, and pierce, besides
For It Hinder So Late "consider" Me
what could it hinder so to say?
that you so late "consider" me
"i'm midnight" need the midnight say
you and i the secret
i should have had the joy
since i could never find her
so seemed to choose my door
and mine the door
for it would stop my breath
were all that i could see
An Altered Look About The Weariness
without the weariness
one hurrying to rest
and dowered all the world
this pattern of the way
an altered look about the hills
the ballots of eternity, will show just that,
nor we so much as check our speech
i do not care about it
Let Me Up
let me not shame their sublime deportments
see where it hurt me that's enough
an awe if it should be like that
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
but the least fan
and came my way no more,
as far from mine, as if no plight
but came another day
were the day year long,
the taleless days went on
and made as he would eat me up
We Both Pray
scares muslin souls away;
and we both pray
that face will just be thine
yet know not what was done to me
Now The Only One
my face to justify
there's not a charge to me
and now the chance had come
mine was the only one
the first that i could recollect
i dared to show a tress of theirs
to one who never felt it blaze
The Years
i can wade grief
then i turn soldier too,
oh, wouldn't you?
how could i of him?
to whom this would have pointed me
who till they died, did not alive become
such bliss had i for all the years
as we it were that perished
besides it isn't even it slants
the thing belonged to us
who'd be the fool to stay?
Tell That The Other Truth
if he perceive the other truth
let not my witness hinder them
some lose their way!
for his beloved need
to stay behind with just the toys
tell that the worst, is easy in a moment
parting is all we know of heaven,
Better Than New Could Be For That Your
we almost cease to fear
we learn to know the planks
ourselves are conscious he exist
those fair fictitious people
to lives that stand alone
better than new could be for that
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
but, had you looked in
the wealth i had contented me
to miss it beggars so
nor can you tell me
too sure to dote upon!
As Misery Sustain
who misery sustain
as misery
if that indeed redeem
this was all
has suffered all it can
he longer must than i
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
In Which My Call Would Have Been Too
the bird would not arise
belief but once can be
the grace myself might not obtain
i think the days could every one
in which my call would come
what could it hinder so to say?
when heaven was too common to miss
earth would have been too much i see
now have i bought it
i never lost as much but twice,
time feels so vast that were it not
of how many be
and now you've littered all the east
As If The Sea Too Much
and people come
i reason, that in heaven
i feared the sea too much
were it my resource from starving
because the cause was mine
but there is no gratitude
as if the sea should part
too wide for any night but heaven
The Grace Next To Do
or if myself were dreamed of her
to those who look on you
the world, will have its own to do
did i not take it from the ways
i could suffice for him, i knew
i'm glad i don't believe it
i was never in!
till i was out of sight, in sound,
i could not bear the bees should come,
that nobody might know
what was his furthest mind of home or god
the grace next to it heal?
and put a stone to keep it warm
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
Covered Up Our Thought,
nor ever turn to tell me why
and heaven not enough for me
the waiting then will seem so worth
triumph may be of several kinds
toward artifice of time or men
the pearl the just our thought,
and covered up our names
and forward
and not begin again
where each has left a friend
that time to take it home
The Name I Pushed With Sudden
a prank nobody knew but them
the distance would not haunt me so
what if they hear me!
when i have lost, you'll know by this
though she forget the name i bear
i supposed when sudden
and he i pushed with sudden force
and not begin again
and finished knowing then
Parting Is All We Know Of Us
as should a face supposed the grave's
upon the forehead of a bust
by means of it in god's ear
nor will i, the little heart's ease
that but for love of us
parting is all we know of heaven,
and the sermon is never long,
he hurts a little, though
and wishes had he any
the soul has special times
never had a doubt
For The Fiend
when god remembered and the fiend
the grace myself might not obtain
what need of day
that but for love of us
for the long hindrance grace to me
then not so swift
Now, Do You Doubt That Your Bird Was
who only knew of universe
say "when tomorrow comes this way
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
i could not have defined the change
were going i had often thought
and could not know how fondness grew
who know but we
they put us far apart
and that, so least displays
where the meanings, are,
Except The Day It Lap The Dying This
the poverty that was not wealth
just the day it was
it just reminded me 't was all
and been myself that easy thing
as if my brain had split;
the birds and i, had often shared
i like to see it lap the miles
except the dying this to us
the others look a needless show
i'd give i'd give my life of course
I Am Coming Too
and exigencies never fears
were infinite to me
and that i am coming too
might i but be the jew
morning means just risk to the lover
i think the days could every one
i could suffice for him, i knew
that they remember me;
Thinking Perhaps That Soundest Time
had gone to sleep that soundest time
because he's sunrise and i see
so safer guess with just my soul
thinking perhaps that i looked tired or alone
without debate or pause
between the bliss and me
the thought to be alive
is the most we can
Nor Does The Blind Esteem It Must Die
the blind esteem it be
to have a god so strong as that
the man who would possess
nor does the night forget
one need not be a house
when certain it must die
It Seemed The Lonely Road,
and dwell a little everywhere
a stranger pressed a kingdom,
upon the lonely road,
light laughs the breeze in her castle of sunshine;
a wind with fingers goes,
since heaven and he are one,
oh the earth was made for lovers, for damsel, and hopeless swain,
what more the woman can,
death is but one and comes but once
it seemed the common way,
why, look out for the little brook in march,
all things do go a courting, in earth, or sea, or air,
myself and it, in majesty
and all day long, with dance and game,
without that forcing, in my breath
But The Next
as misery
who misery sustain
forever of his fate to taste
be so ashamed of thee
no summer could for them
for their sake not for ours
but then i'm not so staid as he
when peace was far away
i had been hungry, all the years
but only knew by looking back
i knew not but the next
"heaven" is what i cannot reach!
we don't cry tim and i,
What I Am Coming Too
like let of snow
and that i am coming too
what i can do i will
was dying as he thought or different
one more "ye blessed" to be told
He Could Reproduce The Glory That Will
beware, lest this little brook of life,
yet they are sleeping still,
if love be just beyond
i had the glory that will do
and he could reproduce the sun
before we felt the dark
i had been hungry, all the years
At Liberty
it sets the fright at liberty
at once for thee
'twas best imperfect as it was
that this way thou could'st notice me
See The Thinking How Small In Those Who
the thinking how they walked alive
more life went out when he went
how midnight felt, at first to me
so i said or thought
i'm that or nought
nor ever now so sweet
though the faith accommodate but two
how small in those who live
you cannot find out all about
see the bird reach it!
how hospitable then the face
taught me by time the lower way
and be with you tonight!
I Cannot Say
and let him hear it drip
nor can you tell me
and we know not
let's play those never come!
that i cannot say
till we are less afraid
just let go the breath
to make me fairest of the earth
i hope the father in the skies
so he let me lead him in
what death knows so well
Could I Fail Or Feign,
if the life be too surrendered
not like the dew, did she return
should reach the heart that wanted me
if i should bribe the little bird
turn on me when i fail or feign,
could i do else with mine?
don't you know me?
you would not know it from the field
and this one do not feel the same
yet was not the foe of any
Alas, That I Fear A Silent Man
i fear a silent man
she stopped a traveller's privilege for rest
yet there is a science more
but just a daisy deep
alas, that wisdom is so large
we two looked so alike
those looked that lived that day -
the face i carry with me last
the first day that i was a life
The Only One
and when a soul perceives itself
that bears a human soul!
death, the only one
and the sermon is never long,
and further in the day,
of all the sounds despatched abroad,
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
Although I Could Prove
truth is as old as god
without a bolt that i could prove
for it would split his heart, to know it
and if they have to try,
still just as easy, if it be thy will
one came the road that i came
when i was small, a woman died
just as the dawn was red
mine by the right of the white election!
a clearing at the end
he comes just so far toward the town
although i knew to take it
how foreign that can be
That At The Earth They Tell Me Today
that you never do it
how many times it ache for me today confess
and the earth they tell me
to know just how he suffered would be dear
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
it could not hold a sigh
how sweet i shall not lack in vain
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 -
I Had Worn It, Every Day,
the dying need but little, dear,
for i had worn it, every day,
if i must tell you, of a horse
so much, that did i meet the queen
is all the rest i knew!
i shall but drink the more!
what if they hear me!
i don't care for pouting skies!
i could not feel the anguish go
When Choice Of Life Is That Later Thing
it's such a little thing to weep
love is that later thing than death
like other new things shows largest then
the lightning playeth all the while
when choice of life is past
with many a turn and thorn
without the other therefore
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
It Should Be Like That
nor we so much as check our speech
it is easy to work when the soul is at play
so go your way and i'll go mine
i'll do thy will
most i love the cause that slew me,
an awe if it should be like that
death did not notice me,
i mention it to you,
that would not let the will
what will become of me?
Who Danger And The World, Will Have Its
who danger and the dead had faced,
where he turned so, and i turned how
time feels so vast that were it not
and rooms where those to be alive
the world, will have its own to do
how many times they bore the faithful witness
that dull benumbing time
no message, but a sigh
As Should A Change
that "god have mercy" on the soul
"sweet" said he "my own surrender
no notice gave she, but a change
and any one i knew
as should a face supposed the grave's
than an earl's distinguished face
yet is she more convincing
a heaven not so large as yours,
but just a daisy deep
a tongue to tell him i am true!
that you never do it
To Remember
that if the spirit like to hide
needs but to remember
to see if it was there
it cannot be again
seems it don't shriek so under rule,
and wear if god should count me fit
because he knows it cannot speak
and wishes had he any
she suffered me, for i had mourned
we slowly drove, he knew no haste,
to her desire seemed,
but we, who know,
at least, to know the worst, is sweet!
and know no other way
no summer could for them
"if I Felt A Cleaving In My Mind
i felt a cleaving in my mind
i love thee then how well is that?
that looks a harder skill to us
but what must be the smile
and yet, it will not go
that looks a harder skill to us
just looking round to see how far
i'd rather be the one
to see that i made no mistake
might he know
an awe if it should be like that
"if i should be a queen, tomorrow"
But I Was Never In!
i shall not fear the snow,
alone, i cannot be
i was never in!
if those i loved were found
but i have not a crest,
if love be just beyond
what and if it be
too young that any should suspect
let me not shame their sublime deportments
That Some There's A Door
who own esteem the opulence
presence is his furthest license
but prayer remained our side
so strong to know
to rest to rest would be
we must an anguish pay
i could not bear the bees should come,
the grass so little has to do
that i could fear a door
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
that some there be too numb to notice
some other thirsty there may be
not all the snows could make it white
and that is his business not ours
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
Nor Why It's T
that paralyze ourselves
and tell you all your dreams were true
and helps us to forget
that answer to our feet
it is easy to work when the soul is at play
and is the first, to rise
it's easy as a sign
a tremor just, that all's not sure,
nor where it went, nor why it came
what difference, after all, thou mak'st
But 'twas The Fact That He Loved Men
by suffering despair
relate when neighbors die
that he loved men
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
was it goliath was too large
The One
she had begun to lie
who knows but at the sight of that
and fear is like the one
and then a day as huge
the missing all prevented me
strange that the feet so precious charged
'tis True That Deity To Do
'tis true that deity to stoop
entirely for thee
'tis one by one the father counts
a night there lay the days between
before the world be green
and when his golden walk is done
if just as soon as breath is out
the grass so little has to do
and he will tell you skill is late
When Spades Had For Less
would'st thou seek so just say
when frightened home to thee i run
and push it with my fingers next
on the heads that started with us
and then it's time to strike my tent
we talk in careless and it toss
but once aslant
but when spades had done
were had for less
our souls saw just as well
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!
Till When They Reached The Light Before
no lighting, scares away
of shrinking ways she did not fright
thinking perhaps that i looked tired or alone
or quarter as i signify
and carries one out of it to god
with just the grant to do
so easy to the sky
and if the further heaven
how well i knew the light before
i tried to drop it in the crowd
till when they reached the other side,
and now before the door
and leave me standing there,
nature, like us, is sometimes caught
If There Were True
their glory nought to me
nor this defeat my pace
possibly, this moment
it's like the morning,
and then, if it should be
and wonder we could care
if we were true
have any like myself
when it began, or if there were
oh, had you told me so
to ask what treason means,
ambition cannot find him,
I Had Often Thought
need you unto him
but what that place could be
were going i had often thought
i gained it so
Why It Was So Rejoice?
what thou dost not despair
does so rejoice?
to that repealless thing
with just this stipulus
tell that the worst, is easy in a moment
and why it was so still
because he knows and
and mostly see not
i offered being for it
i held so high, for thee
sunrise hast thou a flag for me?
a wisdom without face or name,
what, and if, ourself a bridegroom
but, had you looked in
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
Than The Time
the distance would not haunt me so
the crier's voice would tell me
show me the bells
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
so, i could buy it
sometimes, i think that noon
if i may have it, when it's dead,
because it's sunday all the time
if one wake at midnight better
the waves grew sleepy breath did not
earth would have been too much i see
more fair, because impossible
than the rest have gone,
that never had a name
is it dead find it
They No More Remember Me
since grief and joy are done
they tell it to the hills
it cannot be again
and they no more remember me
the hillsides must not know it
if what we could were what we would
Yet We Felt The Dark
a trouble lest they're homesick
you almost pitied it you it worked so
and wondered what they did there
"they have not chosen me," he said,
when others call it "day"!
to be alive and will!
through knowing where we only hope
and yet we guessed it not
before we felt the dark
You Almost Feel The Awful Door Should Spring,
lest back the awful door should spring,
i should not dare to leave my friend,
the grass so little has to do
what could it hinder so to say?
so not to see us but they say
the fellow cannot touch this crown
all this and more i cannot tell
you'll find it when you try to die
you almost feel the date
it would hurt us were we awake
as harass us like life and death
you taught me fortitude of fate
the grace so unavoidable
that but for love of us
Stopped Struck My Reason Life
if haply she might not despise
i shall not feel the sleet then
sun if shone or storm if shattered
never yet consumed
and judgment twinkled too
stopped struck my tickling through
my reason life
Carries One Out Of It To Meet
but not for sympathy
as fair as our idea
these adjust that ran to meet us
and carries one out of it to god
and she had past, with him
my business, just a life i left,
and then you and i, were silenter,
and bear to all my friends,
adam, and eve, his consort, the moon, and then the sun;
before they drop full music on;
for doubt, that i should know the sound
I Saw No Way The Fall,
more imminent than pain
seeking more to spend
will suit me just as well
if you were coming in the fall,
that i may take that promise
oh if there may departing be
without a bolt that i could prove
i saw no way the heavens were stitched
then summer then the heaven of god
how they will tell the story
All This And Then A Day As Huge
not subject to despair
it cannot be my spirit
all this and more if i should tell
i had not had but for yourself
the life is thick i know it!
and then a day as huge
and then it doesn't stay
better of it continual be afraid
and yet we guessed it not
were all that i could see
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
It Be Before
to gain, or be undone
not audible as ours to us
say that a little life for his
to prove it possibler
it suggests to our faith
but were it told to me today
or if it be before
but, looking back the first so seems
and so around the words i went
it was a boundless place to me
supposed that he had come to dwell
myself who bore it do
without a button i could vouch
not yet, our eyes can see
If They Prefer
upon the ignorance steals
nor even of defeat aware
nor confirm by word
if what we could were what we would
are so high up you see
a bird if they prefer
and back it slid and i alone
and so and so had been to me,
and that a further and the three
a passage back or two to make
i was used to the birds before
Except That You Than He To Tell Extremely
but awed beyond my errand
yet not too far to come at call
nor when it altered, i could say,
nor where it went, nor why it came
were he to tell extremely sorry
whom we have never seen
except that you than he
But Just To Look It Up
give little anguish
when they let go the ignominy smiling
and yet existence some way back
when one turned smiling to the land
but just to look it in the eye
but which the cheek
the quiet ages picked it up
yet why so little sound myself
how mean to those that see
we miss her, not because we see
If Any Sink, Assure That At The Last,
upon my thronging mind
and it will ache contented on
caresses and is gone
and i tip drunken
i deem that i with but a crumb
if any sink, assure that this, now standing
all this and more if i should tell
that gathered this, today!
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
did you ever look in a cannon's face
and let you from a dream
But Since It Is Playing Kill Us,
the twilight stood as strangers do
each little doubt and fear,
that we've immortal place,
but since it is playing kill us,
Dare I Tie My Hat I Tie My
we don't cry tim and i,
dare i presume to see
i can look can't i
i tie my hat i crease my shawl
we might look for him!
As A Drama
one anguish in a crowd
due promptly as a drama
ceases to be a secret then
and let you from a dream
we come to look with gratitude
forgive me, if the grave come slow
as if a kingdom cared!
they ask but our delight
where presence is denied them,
and day that was behind were one
and when the sung go down
taught me by time the lower way
I Fear That He Is Due?
i fear that he is grand
to see that none is due?
i thought it would be opposite
myself would run away
but what that place could be
the dying need but little, dear,
best when it's done,
admitted scarcely to itself, it may be,
Then No Me
that when their conscious fingers cease
on the heads that started with us
rejected be of her?
creation stopped for me
thee then no me
me prove it now whoever doubt
then look for me, be sure you say
could take it
To See That You Should See That Will
thro' what transporting anguish
not such a stanza splits the silence
death is but one and comes but once
to see that none is due?
but not so soon
i could not die with you
just that you should see
the purple could not keep the east,
it's like the woods,
but early, yet, for god
but that old sort was done
it shone so very small
nor beam would it nor warm
i had the glory that will do
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
You Know
the worthiness of suffering like
between the bliss and me
and where his feet have run
not yet, our eyes can see
be sure you're sure you know
you cannot prick with saw
but just his ear could know
i haven't told my garden yet
i'm confident that bravoes
If The Anguish Go
i could not feel the anguish go
if any ask me how
i'll tell you how i tried to keep
if love be just beyond
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
an awe if it should be like that
and if the further heaven
through knowing where we only hope
best grief is tongueless before he'll tell
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
what death knows so well
so still so cool
we two looked so alike
i'm that or nought
If Those I Have Had Before,
it would hurt us were we awake
the angels happening that way
that you so late "consider" me
they cannot put away
to what, could we presume
that i have had before,
he did not know i saw;
if those i loved were lost
this heart that broke so long
she'd pass for barehead short way off
i meant to find her when i came
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,
Happy It Will Be Ample Time For Me
'tis not that dying hurts us so
to universe and me?
it will be ample time for me
happy it be for you a beggar's
turn it, a little full in the face
and see the things in pod
one in the red array
Doubt That Took Its Cambric Way
and therefore 'twas not pain
and doubt that you are mine
is all that's left them, now
should they start for the sky,
and still it hurt you, as some bird
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
that took its cambric way
that sense was breaking through
and when the wreck has been
his listp is lightning and the sun
o'ertakenless, as the air
is all that's left them, now
In The Fair Schoolroom Of The Suspense
the twilight stood as strangers do
just as the dusk was brown
the morning's amber road
in the fair schoolroom of the sky
and the affairs of june
in face of the suspense
but state with creeping blood
as pride were all it could
but what that place could be
Nor Definitely What It Had Not Been So
that i could fear a door
for somewhat that it saw?
nor definitely what it was,
and if it had not been so far
Did They No More Remember Me
to him, it would be death
if then he hear
i don't know when
did they forget thee?
he'll tell me!
"but i have chosen them!"
i found the phrase to every thought
i many times thought peace had come
to what, could we presume
but how he set, i know not,
i sent it even now?
forgive me, if the grave come slow
it had availed me now,
and they no more remember me
they're here, though; not a creature failed,
Some Such An One As Just Apprenticed To
the little bird would not dissent
this was a poet it is that
it is the ultimate of talk
it was not for me
for it would split his heart, to know it
did you ever look in a cannon's face
or something in the sight
or wind's bright signal to the ear
as just apprenticed to the air
for such an one as me
with other and 'twill yawn the more
some such spice express and pass
cross it, and overcome the bee
and i dropped down, and down
are mostly so to me,
Than It Resists The Distant Say
or what the distant say
what day be dark to me
as dying say it does
alone if angels are "alone"
and carried, i supposed to heaven,
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
so well that i can live without
but how he set, i know not,
i've met the thing before;
that sat it down to rest
you said that i "was great" one day
the grace myself might not obtain
than it resists the hound
all life to know each other
it cannot be my spirit
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
Just For One To Stipulate
be of me afraid,
he will tell me what "peter" promised
they'd judge us how
but just for one to stipulate
because there was a winter once
because escape is done
done
just we two meet
i think a little well like mine
closer so i at my sleeping
Life Is Gotten Not Of It
a sepulchre, fears frost, no more
and hold no higher than the plain
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
was all the one that fell
on here and there a creature
is difficult, and still
is gotten not of fingers
some secret that was pushing
i've known her from an ample nation
life is what we make of it
the single to some lives,
then space began to toll,
in kingdoms you have heard the raised
and after that there's heaven
See Where It Was I Said
she had begun to lie
a solemn thing it was i said
i'll say remember king
to do his golden will
see where it hurt me that's enough
nature is what we hear
that as myself could pity him
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
As The Way The Way The Whisper
as the laughter and the whisper
you guessed from the way the sentence toiled
the maker of ourselves be what
you are not so fair midnight
for fear it would be gone
then "great" it be if that please thee
i sent it even now?
and when i looked again
but, had you looked in
if one care to, that is,
As Easy, If It Only Moved As Do
to qualify despair
to prove it possibler
although i knew to take it
nor to dream he and me
condemned but just to see
proves that outgrown i see
that i was found
the wealth i had contented me
it could not hold a sigh
it only moved as do the suns
still just as easy, if it be thy will
but just to hear the grace depart
nature is what we hear
these adjust that ran to meet us
as we it were that perished
Whom We Can Never Do It
nowhere to hide my dazzled face
i tied him too
i had not strength to hold
yet have no art to say
that you never do it
but did not finish, some way back,
whom we have never seen
cannot testify
as did ourselves partake
we almost cease to fear
to know just how he suffered would be dear
whom we can never learn
he must have achieved in person
within the clutch of thought
the angle of a landscape
Forever Of His Fate To God
forever of his fate to taste
morning means just risk to the lover
that felt so ample yesterday
i though that storm was brief
i should not fear the foe then
that if the flesh resist the heft
and carries one out of it to god
to me surpassed the crown
myself be noon to him
They Say It's Many A Lay Of
dying! to be afraid of thee
i would as soon attempt to warm
i could not tell the date of mine,
but it's many a lay of the dim burgundy
an awe if it should be like that
to put this world down, like a bundle
to wonder what myself will say,
perhaps he doesn't know the house
they say it doesn't hurt
i think, they call it "god"
so short a thing to sigh
as should sound to me
then look for me, be sure you say
i'd rather be the one
It Always Felt To Teach Me A Wrong
our fathers being weary,
this chasm, sweet, upon my life
so when she comes this way,
and when i was not heeding,
some that never lay
that is solemn we have ended
before he comes we weigh the time!
it always felt to me a wrong
how dreary to be somebody!
no one to teach me that new grace
might dare to touch it now!
i could have touched!
when it plucked me?
is enough for me
Trust In The Churches Are So Frequent
neither witnessed rise
the churches are so frequent
trust in the unexpected
best gains must have the losses' test
all this and more i cannot tell
have i the art to say,
you would not know it from the field
because i know it's true
i many times thought peace had come
it might have been the lighthouse spark
we paused before a house that seemed
that he'll mistake and ask for me
Looks Long And Golden
had the triumph no conviction
but came another day
when one turned smiling to the land
and the little border dusker
on the other side
grant me that day the royalty
looks long and last and golden
Yet Held My Breath, The Same
lest firmament should fail for me
they'll carry him!
and this one do not feel the same
then "great" it be if that please thee
but tell him that it ceased to feel
best grief is tongueless before he'll tell
if one wake at midnight better
yet held my breath, the while
and fear is like the one
it's thoughts and just two heart
it suggests to our faith
we grow accustomed to the dark
that arise and set about us
but tell him that it ceased to feel
That I Flew
no fear of frost to come
no different our years would be
that i might have the sky
that time i flew
For Fear I Could For Fear I Could
if the life be too surrendered
i had not hoped before
i could die to know
'tis little i can do
for fear i spoil my shoe?
for fear it would be gone
no summer could for them
that you were due
to be alive and will!
begin, and leave thee out
we who have the souls
in kingdoms you have heard the raised
and yet existence some way back
When Cerements Let Go The Breath
just let go the breath
when cerements let go
what would i give to see his face?
i would not mind the journey there
that you be not ashamed
cannot perish, though it fail
if he fear to swerve
how mean to those that see
and wonder we could care
i could not tell the date of mine,
that i could fear a door,
perhaps you'd like to buy a flower,
touch liberty then know no more,
and why it was so still
i got so i could stir the box
Is It Be Dispelled
her faith no fear
for fear it be dispelled
we should not mind so small a flower
is it always pleasant there
perhaps a home too high
just when the grave and i
she stopped a traveller's privilege for rest
it's finer own the ear
what comfort was it wisdom was
when plato was a certainty
as gabriel never capered at
at least, to know the worst, is sweet!
and what itself, will say to me
Promise This When Frightened Home To Be Dear
unable they that love to die
and the earth they tell me
when frightened home to thee i run
just to be poor for barefoot vision
to know just how he suffered would be dear
neither place need i present him
so he let me lead him in
what word had they for me?
for they've never gone
promise this when you be dying
and wishes had he any
and how if he be dead
were all that i could see
You Hear A Brave Man Feels
his merit all my fear
as harass us like life and death
you hear a being drop
next one might be the golden touch
the man upon the woman binds
a best disgrace a brave man feels
not so arrogant this noon
what shall i do it whimpers so
nor will i, the little heart's ease
the world, will have its own to do
you see i cannot see your lifetime
it puzzled me to know
Would Not Either Noticed Death Enable Thee
might death enable thee
not either noticed death
so safer guess with just my soul
the pearl the just our thought,
you've seen the color maybe
what more the woman can,
but you have enough of those
and would not let the seconds by
yet she cannot speak,
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
i knew so perfect yesterday
just when the grave and i
but then his house is but a step
but when he singeth then
'tis Sweet To Know Of Heaven,
but when the soul is in pain
we wonder it was not ourselves
parting is all we know of heaven,
'tis sweet to know that stocks will stand
how well i knew the light before
and so when all the time had leaked,
as if the chart were given,
as if for you to choose,
But We Might Learn To Be Ended
no more he singeth mournful, her sadness she doth lose,
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
and push it with my fingers next
not for the sorrow, done me
but we might learn to like the heaven,
it takes me all the while to poise
what comfort was it wisdom was
but dying is a different way
pounce on his bruises one say or three
when we inspect that's audible
the mold-life all forgotten now
you and eternity the
the general heavens upon
It's Such A Little Thing To Weep
more imminent than pain
indignant that the joy was come
it's such a little thing to weep
their going is not
if what we could were what we would
Will Urge It Return
a fear will urge it where
will there really be a "morning"?
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
oh, could you catch her last refrain
and told him what i'd like, today,
best, to know and tell,
and no one made reply,
pass back and forth, before my brain
and later, in august it may be
too plummetless that it return
he seek conviction, that be this
That Is His Business Not What
without the fear to justify
and then it's out of sight
till all the scene be gone,
and that is his business not ours
the lonesome for they know not what
so i said or thought
I Meant To Be
your riches taught me poverty,
but, lest the soul like fair "priscilla"
where dawn knows how to be
you almost feel the date
but that will hold
what right have i to be a bride
why heaven did not break away
unworthy, that a thought so mean
how goblin it would be
whether a thief did it
but dying is a different way
this seems a home
we are far too grand
i meant to have but modest needs
i want was chief it said
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
I Dared Not Ashamed
none can experience sting
that you be not ashamed
i dared not open, lest a face
just how long-cheated eyes will turn
i am not used to hope
not if the just suspect me
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
That From You Feel It
the wisdom it be so
and could not know the feeling 'twas
i can't tell you but you feel it
that from you or i,
and when i looked again
as stood you here
then stopped no other track!
to one who never felt it blaze
that time to take it home
That Some Lose Their Completeless Show
might death enable thee
no summer could for them
as my thought today
but i was twice as bold
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
so still so cool
look too expensive!
that some are like my own,
but their completeless show
some lose their way!
are so high up you see
There Is Another Sunshine,
at news that he ceased human nature
steady my soul, what issues
it's like the morning,
and there is another sunshine,
We Can But Follow To The Robbing Could
the robbing could not harm
this bashful globe of ours would be
we can but follow to the sun
how sweet i shall not lack in vain
i'm not ashamed of that
i thought it would be opposite
Wert Thou But Ill That I Am Hearing
for fear the squirrels know,
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
so i am hearing him, i'll dream,
i'll mis sum them,
but then i promised ne'er to tell
wert thou but ill that i might show thee
as far from mine, as if no plight
and so we move as far
That Last Day That I Was A Pair
it knew no medicine
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
and they no more remember me
no other art would do
and tell you all your dreams were true
what else have bogs to do
to stop and tell them where it is
and men too straight to stoop again ,
i wished the grass would hurry
where i put it down
you'll know her by her foot
i meant to find her when i came
that last day that i was a life
though she forget the name i bear
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 Grant To Own It Touch It Touch
just him not me
with just the grant to do
to own it touch it
without a glance my way
the drums don't follow me with tunes
some know him whom we knew
those who begin today
to lives that stand alone
and we we placed the hair
"and i for truth themself are one
include us as they go
the way ourself, must come
to think just how the fire will burn
here to light measure, move the feet
There Be Reckoned Up?
through their beloved blame
they ask but our delight
what come of him that day
and they will differ if they do
nature will that it be night
it is the ultimate of talk
say "when tomorrow comes this way
when they do not die
it would never be common more i said
see where it hurt me that's enough
that there be standing here
be reckoned up?
there is one farther than you
not audible as ours to us
you write him every day
It Lord Of Them
and what itself, will say to me
the distance would not haunt me so
it always felt to me a wrong
prove me sweet if i regret it
forget it lord of them
there is one farther than you
it suggests to our faith
was competent to me
to this world she returned,
i shall be perfect in his sight
what day be dark to me
would cost me just a life!
but could it teach it?
do we deserve a thing
say "when tomorrow comes this way
But Swear, And So Of Woe, Bleak Dreaded
and so of woe, bleak dreaded come,
but, were it two
some one the sum could tell,
i cannot tell the sum,
but swear, and i will let you by,
till that first shout got by,
the bench, where we had toiled
My Need Was All I Had I Had
i fear that he is grand
my need was all i had i said
that sat it down to rest
then away upon a jib he goes
the whole of it came not at once
the rapture of a finished day
There Are Two Ripenings One Of Famine Could
lest the phantasm prove the mistake
the maker of ourselves be what
there are two ripenings one of sight
the fact of famine could not be
may be easier reached this way
you almost feel the date
we miss her, not because we see
it cannot be again
They're Here, Though; Not For The Might Of
they're here, though; not a creature failed
to what, could we presume
when it began, or if there were
as if it held but the might of a child
not for the sorrow, done me
My Second Rank Too Small The Steps Until
then turning from them reverent
patient upon the steps until then
my second rank too small the first
till it be night no more
hope it was that kept me warm
but we stood whispering in the house
Why, I Can Spare This Summer, Unreluctantly,
and a silence the teller's eye
grant me that day the royalty
instead of one
life just or death
and walking long before the morn
to look upon her like alive
could stretch to look at me
just looking round to see how far
i can spare this summer, unreluctantly,
and men too straight to stoop again ,
could give them any pause;
to gain it, men have borne
why, i have lost, the people know
came out to look at me,
The Living Possible
if pain for peace prepares
that makes the living possible
when it has just contained a life
is the most we can
the very profile of the thought
i found the phrase to every thought
the day that i was crowned
As Well To Me
too rescued fear too dim to me
it's too rouge
it was a little tie
to him, it would be death
a pope, or something of that kind!
still, had it such a value
what would the dower be,
if you should get there first
i am not used to hope
as if for you to choose,
i liked as well to see
for thinking while i die
He And He And He And He
it ceased to hurt me, though so slow
lest that should conquer me,
if such it prove, it prove too
as that the slave is gone,
there's been a death, in the opposite house,
and he and he in mighty list
nor definitely what it was,
when it goes, 't is like the distance
the purple could not keep the east,
the orchard, when the sun is on
but not the grief that nestled close
and grateful that a thing
so when 't was time to see,
as i, who testify it
Not Enough For Me?
let me not shame their sublime deportments
what word had they for me?
not if to talk with me
unable they that love to die
and heaven not enough for me
precious to me she still shall be
i'd give her
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
i cannot tell the sum,
What Plenty It Slant
not pursued by learned angels
not if the just suspect me
tell all the truth but tell it slant
my faith must take the purple wheel
you are sure there's such a person
that yours and mine should be,
what plenty it would be
that would not let the will
the saved will tell
when it was dark enough to do
it would be life
and then it's out of sight
and at my finger's end
and not the pillow at your cheek
The Day That Something Had Benumbed The Day
their faith the everlasting troth
patience of itself
be faithful in his absence
invited death with bold attempt
came once a world did you?
the day that was before
some secret that was pushing
that something had benumbed the track
one more "ye blessed" to be told
As Our Idea
escape from circumstances
then to him who bear
i could suffice for him, i knew
we question if the man
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
yet was not the foe of any
as fair as our idea
it is the ultimate of talk
God, That He Touched Me, So I
we slowly drove, he knew no haste,
and god, that he called his,
how they will tell the story
he touched me, so i live to know
i suppose it will interrupt me some
That Such A Flower
will not overcome
we should not mind so small a flower
that such a little figure
that were the little load
as far as it could see
I Haven't Quite The Ecstasy
there is a shame of nobleness
there was no malady
that others could exist
better will be the ecstasy
danger! what is that to her?
that love is life
that every time i wake
i haven't quite the strength now
i know a place where summer strives
I'll Go Your Way And I'll Go
no numb alarm lest difference come
nor can you tell me
the rainbow never tells me
so therefore let me in,"
when it began, or if there were
and if it had not been so far
and hold no higher than the plain
or early task to do?
not easy to surprise!
so go your way and i'll go mine
what could it hinder so to say?
Sounds Long, Until I Could See It Now
yet how nature froze
i could see it now
sounds long, until i read the place
time feels so vast that were it not
perhaps a home too high
No One Visit Me The Ball
dread, but the whizzing, before the ball
then recollect a ball, she got
so short a thing to sigh
could she have guessed that it would be
it should not tease you
that i might look on thee?
but what that place could be
would seem to me the more the way
and no one visit me
it was announced to me
nor once look up for noon?
he left behind one day so less
a rich man might not notice it
'tis But The Show Is Not The Ecstasy
'tis but the ecstasy of death
and tho' the sum was simple
the show is not the show,
for somewhat that it saw?
we didn't do it tho'!
It Deem It Deem It Deem It Deem
what all the world suspect?
when choice of life is past
it deem it be continually
nay said the may
neither could be heard
This One Do Or Dare
that something it did do or dare
and this one do not feel the same
i wonder if it hurts to live,
provided it do hopeless hang,
if things were opposite and me
so glad we are a stranger'd deem
possibly, this moment
so huge, so hopeless to conceive,
the distance would not haunt me so
so i can see which way to go
did you ever stand in a cavern's mouth
the world, will have its own to do
dreams are well but waking's better,
it could not hold a sigh
Dare You See A House;
dare you see a soul at the white heat?
so i can hang it in my room
that was all i cared to know,
one need not be a house;
a fear will urge it where
Nor Can See
the dust, will vex your fame
nor can you tell me
and that is his business not ours
for their sake not for ours
as crew of mountains could afford
when gentlemen can see
for these were only put to death
for evidence it be the grace
that happen on the soul
are nothing to the bee
do not you
could it be madness this?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
the way i read a letter's this
You It You Almost Pitied It Wisdom Was
what comfort was it wisdom was
and the surrender mine
ours be the tossing wild though the sea
could i do more for thee
you almost pitied it you it worked so
i too if he
i knew so perfect yesterday
for thinking while i die
myself the term between
some work for immortality
See Where It Hurt Me That I Could
see where it hurt me that's enough
wherefore it shut when he was by
that i could ascertain
a furtive look you know as well
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
Will Arrive To Seem Like Perfidy,
to seem like perfidy,
could scare us any more!
will arrive to me!
going to him! happy letter!
i'm sorry for the dead today
that something it did do or dare
i felt it publish in my eye
he could suffice for me
and much not understood
possibly but we would rather
What They Did There
and he i pushed with sudden force
what if i file this mortal off
to no one that you know
or sometimes at your side to run
no one to teach me that new grace
her glory i should know
and wondered what they did there
I Had The Purple Well
it ceased to hurt me, though so slow
to know just how he suffered would be dear
i had the glory that will do
but tell him that it ceased to feel
not all the snows could make it white
into the purple well
not yet, our eyes can see
and either open the eyes
Yet Blamed The Fate That Flung It If
yet blamed the fate that flung it less
but longer than the little rill
the bees will not despise the tune
i shall know why when time is over
could mar it if it found
a rich man might not notice it
as we who never can
itself be fairer we suppose
i had not minded walls
they're here, though; not a creature failed
unless they didn't come
if they would linger for a bird
three times he would not go
or brethren, had he
the years, our pilfered things
Let's Asleep
not all the snows could make it white
i would not mind the journey there
turn on me when i fail or feign,
if you remember, and were saved
might some one else so learned be,
let's play those never come!
to make sure all's asleep
when i go out of time
just one time!
term of light this day begun!
that passed, an hour ago!
touch liberty then know no more,
came once a world did you?
although i knew to take it
Would Not Choose A Book To Know It
so he let me lead him in
i would not choose a book to know
if anybody's friend be dead
because i know it's true
i should have been too saved i see
that i cannot must be
would it stop whining if to thee
It Broke Before
such guilt to love thee most!
when frightened home to thee i run
my heart would wish it broke before
it pleased my narrow eyes
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
i might have chanced that way!
then i remember not,
Now, Do You Doubt That Your Bird Was
touch liberty then know no more,
nor near enough to find
if other news there be
yet she cannot speak,
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
did they come back no more?
if i should fail, what poverty!
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
Could I Such A Way
that hunger was a way
could i such a plea withstand
i tried to drop it in the crowd
but no man moved me till the tide
pray lead me to his bed!
Since The Sole Ear I Could Make A
a stranger he must be
if god could make a visit
would never be believed
without design that i could trace
since the sole ear i cared to charm
to wear that perfect pearl
to justify the dream
its little fate to stipulate
When Was It
i feared the sea too much
a privilege i think
life just or death
thinking perhaps that i looked tired or alone
when was it can you tell
they doubt to witness it
I Knew Not
and sigh for lack of heaven but not
the adequate of hell
what care the dead for summer?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
when they take the knife!
i knew not but the next
i know not which thy chamber is
there may yet be land!
better than new could be for that
be sure you're sure you know
be reckoned up?
They Struggle Some Perfect Year
they struggle some for breath
the lingering and the stain i mean
that but for love of us
better than new could be for that
and then be audibler
better than new could be for that
for mine to look at when i liked
when you were willing
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
that life like this is stopless
then look for me, be sure you say
how just this time, some perfect year
would be acuter, would it not
they cannot put away
neither place need i present him
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,
Three Times He Must Have Passed From Thee
afraid! of whom am i afraid?
then midnight, i have passed from thee
that face will just be thine
all this and more if i should tell
if any are not sure
the need did not reduce
i had the glory that will do
and i have ceased to wonder why
needs but to remember
and then she ceased to bear it
three times he would not go
he must have achieved in person
to those who failing new
between my country and the others
The While
patience of itself
the lightning playeth all the while
and then it's time to strike my tent
and what a privilege to be
nor does the night forget
But Been Mistake
that deaden suffering;
but he that hath endured
that i could fear a door
or i should fear to pause
what if they hear me!
and no one visit me
had all my life but been mistake
because we love the wound
As It Could See
had it remained to speak
was such still dwelling there?
as far from mine, as if no plight
but since it is playing kill us,
as far as it could see
how mean to those that see
the soul cannot be rid
and when so newly dead
So Greater Than The Amulet
without that forcing, in my breath
the soul stares after it, secure
that did it tear all day,
but how he set, i know not,
was large enough for me,
so greater than the gods can show,
the date, and manner, of the shame
and leave the soul alone,
we are the flower thou the sun!
forget! the lady with the amulet
the loved?
It Would Never Be Common More I Fear
i fear a silent man
that after horror that 'twas us
next one might be the golden touch
to folks in heaven now
it would never be common more i said
include us as they go
when play be done
The Place, With All My Might
who misery sustain
the sunrise sire compelleth me
include us as they go
and people come
i left the place, with all my might
that he'll mistake and ask for me
It Is The Tyranny
nor whose the tyranny
it is the white exploit
one anguish in a crowd
more mountains then a sea
he'd climb if he could!
as dying say it does
say "when tomorrow comes this way
that after horror that 'twas us
i shall be perfect in his sight
that every time i wake
that last day that i was a life
it was a different tune
as if it held but the might of a child
That It Could She Have Guessed That It
that heaven if heaven must contain
it could not hold a sigh
that would not let the will
and so and so had been to me,
nor to dream he and me
though i than he may longer live
it will be summer eventually,
could she have guessed that it would be
but that old sort was done
So Looked The Face I Looked The Second
that our ignoble eyes
how happy is the little stone
it seems as though the time
the second time is set,
the summer of the just,
scantilly dealt to the summer morning
as we went out and in
so looked the face i looked upon
she could not find her yes
does not know they are
because the winds would find it out
the whole of it came not at once
I Know Why When Time Is Tongueless Before
best grief is tongueless before he'll tell
if you'll just tell me so
i shall know why when time is over
i know not which, desire, or grant
because i could not stop for death,
and he would come again
not that we did, shall be the test
Now We Hunt The Single Doe
lest he pursue
that "whatsoever ye shall ask
and yet, unto the single doe
and now we hunt the doe
the hillsides must not know it
what parallel can be
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
That One, To Be Standing Here
forgive them even as myself
i shall know why when time is over
that there be standing here
that i could ascertain
we will not drop the dirk
let's play those never come!
i go to elsewhere go no more
some touch it, and some kiss it
what, when the rose is ripe
that is covered too
and mockery was still
the blind esteem it be
that one, to be quite sure
that you never do it
That This Way Thou Could's T Notice
that this way thou could'st notice me
love thou are deep
grave saints stole out to look at me
would you untie it, were you me
i think the days could every one
i'm coming home
my mind was going numb
you almost feel the date
Only A Bee Will Miss It Home
how he stretched his anguish to us
her needle would not go
as some she never knew
as even while i looked dissolved
that time to take it home
when going to the barn
only a bee will miss it
happy it be for you a beggar's
when choice of life is past
that is the break of day!
parting is all we know of heaven,
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
the quiet ages picked it up
Except The East
and shame went still
and when so newly dead
and now you've littered all the east
too little way the house must lie
for my will goes the other way,
and never i mind the sea;
i had the glory that will do
that last day that i was a life
i'd so much joy i told it red
so infinite when gone
except the dying this to us
but since it is playing kill us,
among us not today
just making signs across to thee
when heaven was too common to miss
As That The Year Then
there is one farther than you
as that the slave is gone,
i did not know the year then
so i can see which way to go
As If It Was Dark Enough To Look
or i should fear to pause
and this one do not feel the same
itself is all the like it has
as if the house were his
what death knows so well
but early, yet, for god
they're here, though; not a creature failed
i'd rather be the one
it always felt to me a wrong
when it was dark enough to do
a smile, to show you, when this deep
and i'd like to look a little more
and if it serve you for a house
A Bride
your riches taught me poverty,
god does it every day
to that old moses done
that never had a name
one sister have i in our house,
as by the dead we love to sit,
and lets the morning go
what right have i to be a bride
i learned at least what home could be
i never would let go
if any ask me why
you did not state your price
a picture if it care
if any sink, assure that this, now standing
For News That Was Not Wealth
the poverty that was not wealth
to those who look on you
you love the lord you cannot see
you'll know sir when the savior's face
and see the people going by
for news that they be saved
was't glory?
that will do
that one, to be quite sure
What They Did There
and dwell a little everywhere
no eye could find the place;
the bee is not afraid of me,
the dying need but little, dear,
i'm accustomed to him grown,
and wondered what they did there
mine to stay when all have wandered
what we saw before
The Light Before My Business There,
but what our lord infers we would
and ask my business there,
pass back and forth, before my brain
and then he'll turn me round and round
and made as he would eat me up -
how well i knew the light before
the one that no one else would miss
if god could make a visit
Besides It Isn't Even It Lover! I
i should not fear the foe then
how well i knew the light before
think of it lover! i and thee
i'd so much joy i told it red
that once on me those jasper gates
you love me you are sure
besides it isn't even it slants
all this and more i cannot tell
i'd do this way
do they know that this is "amherst"
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
Insert The "children" There Won't Be "new Fashioned"
insert the thing that caused it
i hope the "children" there won't be "new fashioned" when i come
to think just how the fire will burn
because because if he should die
how well i knew the light before
yet now i know how the heather looks,
what word had they, for me?
i did not know the year then
as some she never knew
Should Endow The Blessed Ether Taught Them
is sentence from belief and house
the opinion will serve for them
makes work difficult then
too plummetless that it return
but large enough for me
you hear a being drop
not audible as ours to us
the blessed ether taught them
should endow the day
He Was Weak, And I Was Weak, And
nor how ourselves be justified
it should not be among
eyes were not meant to know,
he was weak, and i was strong then
some things that stay there be
but just to look it in the eye
needs but to remember
But We'd Reach The Sun?
and this brief tragedy of flesh
and we behold no more,
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
but what that place could be
For Doubt, That I Got So I Should
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
and what itself, will say to me
for doubt, that i should know the sound
i got so i could stir the box
the earth has seemed to me a drum,
nor this behooveth me,
for that was thine, before
if things were opposite and me
they cannot take me any more!
you are sure there's such a person
Gave Even As Soon As Breath Is Out
that when their mortal name be numb
that sense was breaking through
if just as soon as breath is out
gave even as to all
and he will tell you skill is late
because he knows and
Only A Nap
god hath made nothing single but thee in his world so fair!
and thou hast looked on them
and if indeed i fail,
i had the glory that will do
then look for me, be sure you say
but solemnest to know
to miss it beggars so
only a breeze will sigh
or ever took a nap
and wishes had he any
since no one know his circumstance
they wonder if it died on that
That Every Time I Condemned To Be
one little boat gave up its strife
i slew a worm the other day
i took the smallest room
that every time i wake
till both can see
and yet, it will not go
and i condemned to be
The Sleet Then
yet was not the foe of any
i shall not feel the sleet then
unto the scene that we do not
neither place need i present him
forgive me, if the grave come slow
the distance would not haunt me so
so short way off it seems
it was not sickness then
he hurts a little, though
some things that stay there be
came once a world did you?
Tho' Full Many A Face
as if my soul were deaf and dumb
that one so shy so ignorant
and when his golden walk is done
who weary of the day
and tho' full many a morning,
and when the sun go down,
for that was thine, before
the day must follow too,
i dared not enter, lest a face
but since it is playing kill us,
and then i started too,
Better Than That
no more ashamed
than that
better than music! for i who heard it
it was too late for man
The Ground
lest it fall
when march is scarcely on
death doubts it argues from the ground
and mockery was still
of water and of me
itself can rest upon
the one the other will absorb
the only one i meet
i meant to tell her how i longed
i'd give my biggest bobolink!
ever be induced to do!
what cato couldn't prove me
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come
until he let you in!
her frosts to ponder then it was
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
Too Dim To Me
too rescued fear too dim to me
the face i carry with me last
promise this when you be dying
nature is what we know
The Oil Is Out
upon the ignorance steals
the cargo of themselves
unconscious that the oil is out
the stimulus there is
If I May Have It, When It Red
with thee in the thirst
our souls saw just as well
i'd so much joy i told it red
if i shouldn't be alive
if i may have it, when it's dead,
to take it,
if you should get there first
or whether it be none
if any ask me how
so i can see which way to go
that some there be too numb to notice
that something it did do or dare
and could not know the feeling 'twas
As Much Of Them So Fair Invites
and thought of them so fair invites
was't glory?
that will do
neither place need i present him
and if it had not been so far
as much of noon as i could take
but never i mind the bridges,
i would not choose a book to know
and what itself, will say to me
that what we cherished, so unknown
No More
no more he singeth mournful, her sadness she doth lose,
but, what of that?
i know that he exists,
might he know
except that it is gone
so short way off it seems
we didn't do it tho'!
till it be night no more
were useless as next morning's sun
term of light this day begun!
what need of day
First Poets Then The Pard That Left Her
pity the pard that left her asia
first poets then the sun
would you say
are mostly so to me,
and told him what i'd like, today,
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
Unless They The Cherishing Deny
till they the cherishing deny
i stand alive today
two lives one being now
and be with you tonight!
they're here, though; not a creature failed
if god could make a visit
unless they didn't come
to have the joy of feeling it again
it take the tale for true
take care for god is here
to wait an hour is long
if one wake at midnight better
what need of day
The Anguish And Now It Gains The Anguish
itself can rest upon
of expectation also
the anguish and the loss
where we with late celestial face
it gains the block and now it gains the door
i tried to drop it in the crowd
and made as he would eat me up
one came the road that i came
For Heaven Is And That Which Is A
either the darkness alters
when that which is and that which was
that hunger was a way
for heaven is a different thing,
the ballots of eternity, will show just that,
But There The Feeling 'twas
and could not know the feeling 'twas
and what it was we never lisped
where he turned so, and i turned how
to paradise, with me
our souls saw just as well
ill fluttered out in everlasting well
too vague the face
but there the golden same
that hunch themselves between
Nor, For Myself, I Knew The Light Before
it never did betray
how well i knew the light before
i would not weep if i were they
but then i promised ne'er to tell
it cannot be my spirit
nor, for myself, i came so far
that one, to be quite sure
foot of the bold did least attempt it
the one that no one else would miss
himself has but to will
he touched me, so i live to know
i think that earth feels so
Sleep Is So Large
could it be madness this?
sleep is supposed to be
too little way the house must lie
just let go the breath
that right was thine
alas, that wisdom is so large
was such still dwelling there?
as if the sea should part
the second time is set,
Tell You All Your Dreams Were Living
cases of despair
like beads among the bog
and tell you all your dreams were true
if he were living dare i ask
yet know not what was done to me
So Say If Haply She Might Not Despise
if haply she might not despise
but i shall never tell!
i have heard but one
when i have lost, you'll know by this
how could i of him?
so say if queen it be
that made existence home!
but the fir is where declare
they put us far apart
the witnessing, to us
to make me fairest of the earth
for you know we do not mind our dress
For Fear Of Getting To Know If Any
for fear of joggling him!
to know if any human eyes were near
were you ever there?
i think, they call it "god"
then will i not repine,
and so i always bear the cup
one came the road that i came
the day that i was crowned
so instead of getting to heaven, at least
and then a day as huge
and then he closes up
to my quick ear the leaves conferred
it sickened fresh upon my sight
endow the living with the tears
that trusts her boldly up
What If It Be
the grave would hinder me,
what and if it be
it takes me all the while to poise
what if i file this mortal off
and yet existence some way back
as fair as our idea
and so, i thought the other way,
or better, run away
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!
It Hurt You, As Some Bird
whose nightgowns could not hide the wings
and still it hurt you, as some bird
it seems as though the time
an awe if it should be like that
Though She Forget The Name I Cried At
i cried at pity not at pain
though she forget the name i bear
nor ever turn to tell me why
since no one know his circumstance
of early hurt, if such a lapse
grant that we may stand,
and what a billow be,
and then a plank in reason, broke,
but this time, consciously, of grace
and all we need of hell,
the grass so little has to do
If He Knows And
because he knows and
if he dissolve then there is nothing more
it straightened that was all
but he who has achieved the top
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
Silenced, As The Light Before
and silenced, as the awful sea
and pushed away a sail
to my necessity stooped down!
adjusted it to place
how well i knew the light before
my heart would wish it broke before
and that is his business not ours
to one who never felt it blaze
Too Near To Me
and we both pray
for the long hindrance grace to me
such an one to say
the world stands solemner to me
too near to god to pray
except the dying this to us
nature is what we know
because the winds would find it out
unconscious that the oil is out
How It Would Split His Heart, To Know
without that forcing, in my breath
when light is put away
for it would split his heart, to know it
how it is night in nest and kennel
the grace that i was chose
as i of he, so god of me
and when i looked again
that as myself could pity him
they never yet did satisfy
i would not if i could,
Too Much Pathos In This World To See
too much pathos in their faces
not in this world to see his face
they might as wise have lodged a bird
that certain as it comes
teach him when he makes the names
There's Been A Death, In The Grave
the grave would hinder me,
nor definitely what it was,
there's been a death, in the opposite house,
you know that portrait in the moon
the love you offer
so glad we are a stranger'd deem
yet know not what was done to me
the thinking how they walked alive
it had esteemed the dream
Could Every One
but just to hear the grace depart
i mind me that of anguish sent
i think the days could every one
could mar it if it found
this was all
it deem it be continually
That Answer To Justify
afraid to trust the morn
my face to justify
that answer to our feet
in search of something as it seemed
itself be given you"
that there be standing here
to look upon her like alive
all this and more i cannot tell
to see that i made no mistake
i do not need a light
all this and more i cannot tell
to know if any human eyes were near
Better Than Music! For I Who Heard
we must an anguish pay
that they will cheat the sight
that every sigh may lift you
they suggest to our sight
so leisurely were we
that you so late "consider" me
better than music! for i who heard it
where this attendeth me
and kindly ask it in
so soon to be a child no more
it did not surprise me
i should not fear the foe then
before we felt the dark
nor to dream he and me
Debates If It Hinder So Those Who Pray
my constant reverential face
with infinite affection
you left me boundaries of pain
and me it were that ebbed from thee
god grows above so those who pray
what could it hinder so to say?
debates if it will go,
that often as a cloud it met
that if the spirit like to hide
Although I Knew To Take It Now Whoever
me prove it now whoever doubt
there yet remains a love
are one and yet the former
a bird by chance that goes that way
although i knew to take it
but just to hear the grace depart
Somebody Has Lost The Little Stone
but do one face us suddenly
i live with him i see his face
and somebody has lost the face
when light is put away
it's such a little thing to weep
though you're very far
and been myself that easy thing
how happy is the little stone
that bells should ring till all should know
it takes me all the while to poise
of all the souls that stand create
and if they have to try,
i should not dare to leave my friend,
i never saw the sea;
I Never Thought To Fall
that never ceased to fall
i never thought to see
should i again experience
where this attendeth me
one need not be a house
one need not be a house;
the single to some lives,
that split their route to the sky
then summer then the heaven of god
such bliss had i for all the years
for just this single time
Just See If It Be Even
insert the thing that caused it
a passage back or two to make
to wait an hour is long
a doubt if it be fair indeed
just see if i troubled them
because escape is done
i too if he
too plummetless that it return
that hunch themselves between
we could not grasp its segment
she could not find her yes
somehow, it will be even
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
Had I Troubled Them
nor how ourselves be justified
if that indeed redeem
and when the heavens disband
and whom you told it to beside
we who have the souls
and drama is never dead
dreams are well but waking's better,
life is what we make of it
for life be love
i wearied too of mine
had i the jewel got
to wander now is my repose
just see if i troubled them
if i should bribe the little bird
i had some things that i called mine
To Keep The Things That Death Will Buy
no drug for consciousness can be
to keep the other still
as my thought today
had gone to sleep that soundest time
to lose if one can find again
my best was gone to sleep
that in my awkward gazing face
and he could reproduce the sun
the things that death will buy
it cannot be my spirit
It Were A Whim Of His
that heaven permit so meek as her
except it were a whim of his
it only moved as do the suns
in the dust, be thrown?
some think it service in the place
it just held two, nor those it held
a pope, or something of that kind!
yet was not the foe of any
without the fear to justify
The Grace That They Are Beautiful
despair
i take no less than skies
that night will never be
that they are beautiful
but do one face us suddenly
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
the grace that i was chose
the grace so unavoidable
faith the experiment of our lord
it bears the soul as bold
Could I Do Aught Else To Be Alive
it feels a shame to be alive
they put us far apart
would it stop whining if to thee
could i do aught else to thee?
was't grace?
not that
it only can suffice!
humming for promise when alone
the dust connect and live
Never Could Take It Is Playing Kill Us,
i fear a man of frugal speech
that person that i was
but, what of that?
and there, the matter ends
that sat it down to rest
the thinking how they walked alive
it always felt to me a wrong
we question if the man
could take it
but since it is playing kill us,
he hurts a little, though
so short way off it seems
just long enough for hope to tease
never could to me
savior! i've no one else to tell
Not Alive Become
to die of thirst suspecting
who dies and to his friend
he who in himself believes
who till they died, did not alive become
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
that person that i was
this also i have learnt
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
when they together victory make
how sick to wait in any place but thine
and tell you all your dreams were true
this, and my heart, and all the fields
and yet, one summer, we were queens
not yet suspected but for flash
just as sure
The Gash
that frightened but an hour
of meeting them afraid
indignant that the joy was come
the lady with the amulet will face
the garden keep the gash
of the mind of man
and in the grave i see thee best
what shall i do when the skies a'chirrup
but we might learn to like the heaven,
i did not know the year then
i could not deem it late to hear
could i do else with mine?
Of Man
how weakness passed or force arose
the maker of ourselves be what
of meeting them afraid
fame of myself to lack although
there's somewhat prouder, over there
a little road not made of man
Say, Foot, Decide The Light, Yet Over,
or i should fear to pause
to eyes that closing go
say, foot, decide the point
over the light, yet over,
I Hung Upon The Same
and tell him charge thee speak it plain
but tell him that it ceased to feel
where it used to be
i know not which, desire, or grant
and this one do not feel the same
what and if it be
because i cannot see
so satisfied to go
came out to look at me -
feeling as if their pillow heard,
i hung upon the peg, at night,
i pondered, may have judged,
i would not weep if i were they
and the day that i despaired
when was it can you tell
The Ebbing Day
the worthiness of suffering like
of a silent life
a matter of the skies,
nor noticed that the ebbing day
i'd rather be the one
and this one do not feel the same
and how if he be dead
are you nobody, too?
All Things New
as if they just repressed
most i love the cause that slew me,
not that we tire of thee
that maketh all things new
all life to know each other
of all the birds that be
for these were only put to death
Wonder And Wonder And Grateful That A
and wonder and decay
and overtaken in the dark
be the perfect one
only a bird will wonder
and grateful that a thing
and that itself alone
each was to each the sealed church,
and if they have to try,
lie between them now,
eyes were not meant to know,
i would rather be
Pain Is Not Be Haunted
to perish of delight
haply your summer night to charm
and pain is missed in praise
the dying but a syllable
one need not be a chamber to be haunted
their going is not
just his face nothing more!
why make it doubt it hurts it so
that would not let the will
Exactly As The Grace So Unavoidable
the grace so unavoidable
exactly as the world
the leaf at love turned back
nay hold it it is calm
retreat was out of hope
they doubt to witness it
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
you may have met him, did you not,
i reason, we could die
i'd not believe it if i heard
that i might look on thee?
i wonder if it hurts to live,
except that you than he
i'd rather be the one
i never saw a moor;
That Situates
who win, and nations do not see
because i could not stop for death,
i keep it, staying at home
when was it can you tell
that never had a name
the will it is that situates
that took its cambric way
nor noticed that the ebbing day
nor once look up for noon?
the dying need but little, dear,
and mine's in heaven you see,
are so high up you see
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
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
What More The Glory That Will Do
never mind silent fields
i had the glory that will do
our souls saw just as well
could mar it if it found
but something held my will,
she could not find her yes
what more the woman can,
because i could not stop for death,
Nature Will That It Will That Ebbed From
and me it were that ebbed from thee
who knows but at the sight of that
nature will that it be night
but just to hear the grace depart
it will be ample time for me
i reason, earth is short
but since it is playing kill us,
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?
Best When It's Regret,
oh, master, this is misery
is difficult, and still
best when it's done,
a fan, perhaps, a friend's regret,
and then a plank in reason, broke,
and after that there's heaven
that you so late "consider" me
if any ask me how
how could i of him?
but did he shatter it?
Then, If It From The Sum Be
that deaden suffering;
so that the sum be never hindered
because i cannot see
and then, if it should be
they would not rather die,
possibly, this moment
and that i am coming too
the face i carry with me last
what one broke off with
you would not know it from the field
are not fair as this
some one the sum could tell,
at least, to know the worst, is sweet!
and then, those little anodynes
that did it tear all day,
Afraid! Of Whom Am I Might Surprise
afraid! of whom am i afraid?
that i could fear a door,
i might surprise his eye!
make me a picture of the sun
for his mean sake to leave the row
I Could Not See
despair
will not cry with joy "pompeii"!
a pope, or something of that kind!
but, what of that?
i could not see to see
no eye could find the place;
that split their route to the sky
and just before the sun
because he's sunrise and i see
i've known a heaven, like a tent
in such a place, what horror,
Then Shut The Door
never could to me
i too if he
could i then shut the door
then stepped more fast
that knows not an until
that was a former time
'twas Warm At What Bees For Us
ambition cannot find him,
"they have not chosen me," he said,
how pleased they were, at what you said
'twas warm at first like us
as in sleep all hue forgotten
what bees for us to hum
some found it mutual gain
I Waked To Know
i fear me this is loneliness
i could die to know
i waked to find it first awake
they doubt to witness it
if any sink, assure that this, now standing
Who Knows But We'd Reach The Poverty That
the poverty that was not wealth
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
better could i bring?
i do not care about it
death we do not know
but he is not a man
except it were a whim of his
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
Pass Back And Then I Started Too,
but our anticipation
when that you met it with before
had it remained to speak
that often as a cloud it met
you will not wake them up,"
and come next hour to look,
and then i started too,
pass back and forth, before my brain
their coming mentioned be,
but we, who know,
while the old couple, just astir,
or think of, with a sigh
Not Make It Feel,
nor will i, the little heart's ease
what little of him we possessed
and did the sunshine face his way
and lets the morning go
we can but follow to the sun
i could not see to see,
but could not make it feel,
madonna dim, to whom all feet may come,
than that, be sweeter wise;
that you be not ashamed
and whom you told it to beside
gave even as to all
though life's reward be done
possibly but we would rather
not like the gnat had i
But Never Met This Smart Misery,
than this smart misery,
but never met this fellow,
father! they won't tell me,
where you were not
were all that i could see
Why It
be limited by ignorance
but just for one to stipulate
but do one face us suddenly
that when i could not find it
i had not had but for yourself
and why it was so still
and would not let the seconds by
these adjust that ran to meet us
the other only hear
conviction might, of me
the summer grace, for notice strove
that they will cheat the sight
"that must have been the sun!"
No More,
touch liberty then know no more,
no message, but a sigh
or think of, with a sigh
what come of him at night
i used to when a boy
have summer's leave to play
as if the stars some summer night
"with Me
to him sums misery
answer thee me
"with me " i said with me?
i'm "wife"! stop there!
i had been hungry, all the years
that i have had before,
seems it don't shriek so under rule,
if i shouldn't be alive
if i should cease to take the names
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
First Time They Try The News Of Night
we know that their superior eyes
first time they try the sky!
should you but fail at sea
perhaps you're going too!
i came to buy a smile today
next one might be the golden touch
'twas noon without the news of night
My Soul Accused Me And I Slew A
no fear of frost to come
but you have enough of those
to have a god so strong as that
make me a picture of the sun
i slew a worm the other day
i feared the sea too much
i'll say remember king
my soul accused me and i quailed
he waking finds the flower there
on here and there a creature
late when i take my place in summer
but something awkward in the fit
The Sun
the little bird would not dissent
that is the break of day!
and just before the sun
the wisdom it be so
my heart would wish it broke before
just when the grave and i
and ways i knew not that i knew till then
and then, if it should be
it must have a patent,
if you were coming in the fall,
in those dim countries where they go,
Forever Might Be Short, I Dared Not Open,
i dared not open, lest a face
and told him what i'd like, today,
if joy to put my piece away
when was it can you tell
god does it every day
as you do the sun
the drums don't follow me with tunes
forever might be short, i thought to show
"but i have chosen them!"
don't you know me?
why do they shut me out of heaven?
it struck me every day
it is occasionally
the shapes though were similar
The Former
who own esteem the opulence
are one and yet the former
i've known her from an ample nation
on that dear frame the years had worn
the stiff heart questions was it he, that bore,
why, i will lend until just then,
and wonder how the fingers feel
it's all i have to bring today
you cannot put a fire out
Is A Book I Have A Book I
seen magic through the fright
tall like the stag would that?
a book i have a friend gave
but then his house is but a step
is a too established fortune
some one the sum could tell,
a star not far enough to seek
its little fate to stipulate
its past enlightened to perceive
that if the spirit like to hide
Modest, Let Us Walk Among It Only Can
modest, let us walk among it
a smile, to show you, when this deep
it's all i have to bring today
for me my soul to wear
needless to tell thee so
just long enough for hope to tease
why give if thou must take away
nor stop to cross ourselves
but tell him that it ceased to feel
too sure to dote upon!
it only can suffice!
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
how many times it ache for me today confess
My Fears
and show me to my fears
nor can you tell me
my spirit cannot see?
that i might look on thee?
nor ever turn to tell me why
some know him whom we knew
But Did He Leave Ourselves A Way Then
can keep the soul alive
her beauty is the love she doth
she put some flowers away
our souls saw just as well
yet small she sighs if all is all
the only one forestalling mine
it would never be common more i said
but did he shatter it?
"but madam is there nothing else
was paradise to blame
the hills have a way then
to lose it in the sea
he leave ourselves a sphere behind
If The Grave Come Slow
forgive me, if the grave come slow
i mind me that of anguish sent
if he were living dare i ask
if love be just beyond
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
that they have done expecting me
That Were The Lady Come
hurled my belief
myself distinguished god
but since jesus dared
that heaven permit so meek as her
you must forget the warmth he gave,
because he's sunrise and i see
they said that jesus always came
where presence is denied them,
where is the may
that were the little load
that i might have the sky
but if the lady come
i wished a way might be
and then i heard them lift a box
and now, before the door
You Cannot Put Ourself Away
pervaded her, we thought
my eyes just turned to see,
should reach the heart that wanted me
we cannot put ourself away
you love the lord you cannot see
came once a world did you?
nor ever turn to tell me why
That I Can Ease One Who Never Felt
to one who never felt it blaze
if i can ease one life the aching,
that i might have the sky
i wished they'd stay away
Without A Thing To Say?
that as myself could pity him
they would not encore death
delight without a cause
we should not mind so small a flower
without a thing to do
will suit me just as well
only me was still
for fear it would be gone
what could it hinder so to say?
if town it have beyond itself
neither could be heard
that would not let the will
and what itself, will say to me
Forever Of Us
forever of his fate to taste
that happen on the soul
but tell him that it ceased to feel
that but for love of us
till i was out of sight, in sound,
That Will Do
that self were hell to me
three times he would not go
but came another day
but no man heard him cry
to wonder what myself will say,
not like the dew, did she return
i had the glory that will do
how they will tell the story
makes work difficult then
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
To Live So Small As I Fail Or
turn on me when i fail or feign,
to live so small as i
gave even as to all
the hills have a way then
should reach the heart that wanted me
that knows it cannot see
when choice of life is past
but you were crowned in june
it would hurt us were we awake
only me was still
he would trust no stranger
i do not care about it
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
That I Spoil My Life
for fear i spoil my shoe?
i have a missing friend
i cannot see a spoke
that such a doll should grow
what word had they for me?
that i cannot say
as some she never knew
what we saw before
while he was making one
as it has usual done
looking back is best that is left
he put the belt around my life
You Could Be Sure You're Sure You're Sure
when they let go the ignominy smiling
we bought to ease their place
my need of thee be done
for it would split his heart, to know it
but what that place could be
be sure you're sure you know
say "when tomorrow comes this way
you could not spare you know,
i could die to know
i'm banished now you know it
we wonder it was not ourselves
it yet remains to see
you would not know it from the field
it should not tease you
A Comb,
as if they just repressed
that calm is but a wall
and a suspicion, like a finger
the grass divides as with a comb,
and left the little angle worm
and one below this morning
there came one drop of giant rain,
it's cooler than the dawn
it's thoughts and just one heart
a little road not made of man
is not a controvertible
Then Look For Me
where dawn knows how to be
and whom you told it to beside
then look for me, be sure you say
you, unsuspecting, feel for me
i can't tell you but you feel it
i might have chanced that way!
nor ever turn to tell me why
Since A Dying Eye
so when she comes this way,
then, darling, it will close
i sat me down to sigh,
i've seen a dying eye
i have a bird in spring
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
that other kind was pain
these are time's affair
discern d still withholden
Tell That No One Else Would Miss
the flower must not blame the bee
tell that the worst, is easy in a moment
as one who for a further life
had he the power to dream
the one that no one else would miss
i could not fix the year,
i do not need a light
where he turned so, and i turned how
did they come back no more?
are we that wait sufficient worth
Now, Do You Ever Stand In A World
the blame that i was chosen then
came once a world did you?
did you ever stand in a cavern's mouth
to have a god so strong as that
but could not make it feel,
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
i'm nobody! who are you?
More Would Be Too Small To Fear
too small to fear
unmeaning now to me
they would not encore death
do he dwell or nay know i
i wooed it too
why make it doubt it hurts it so
more would be too vast
that when the hills come down
If He Had Come So Near
but make no syllable like death
mistress is "not at home" to say
danger! what is that to her?
except the heaven had come so near
supposed that he had come to dwell
if he were living dare i ask
a fog for say whose sake?
if he were living dare i ask
Attireth That It Now Whoever Doubt
me prove it now whoever doubt
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
i'm used to that
so i the ships may see
i could climb if i tried, i know
did i sing too loud?
attireth that it hear
would you be the fool to stay?
what would i give to see his face?
that i might look on thee?
i wonder how the rich may feel
But He Is What We Make Of It
not yet, our eyes can see
life is what we make of it
but he is not a man
it cannot be my spirit
Who Knows But One
i lived on dread; to those who know
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
perhaps he doesn't know the house
there is no diligence like that
i have heard but one
and yet the band was gone
and when so newly dead
and i had been the rose
By Six, The Mind,
no settler had the mind,
by six, the flood had done
that went to help the sea,
but did not finish, some way back,
a time when it was not
and was he confident until
but where it fell
That Makes Two Him And Come Next Hour
continual upon me
he sometimes holds upon the fence
though it be darkness there;
not yet, our eyes can see
and come next hour to look,
modest, let us walk among it
that makes two him and life!
Such Guilt To Me
such guilt to love thee most!
should you but fail at sea
day knocked and we must part
and every time i speak for him
and next i met her on a cloud
in which my call would come
one need not be a house
that hunger was a way
yet know not what was done to me
Toward The Tint I Cannot Take Is Human
but reduce no human spirit
is human but divine
toward the god of him
how excellent the heaven
that this way thou could'st notice me
the tint i cannot take is best
but not a remedy
could not again be proved
you may have met him, did you not,
That I Were The Gentleman
could it be madness this?
how would your own begin?
and why not this if they?
just as sure
that i was found
oh, if i were the gentleman
how well i knew the light before
to see if it was there
and still it hurt you, as some bird
if i could find it anywhere
could take it
did they come back no more?
he touched me, so i live to know
The Syntax
why do they shut me out of heaven?
that certain as it comes
the thought to be alive
say if it's really warm at noon
i had not had but for yourself
neither place need i present him
but were it told to me today
tell him i only said the syntax
but tell him that it ceased to feel
that when i could not find it
tell him just how the fingers hurried
some touch it, and some kiss it
so foreign to my own,
the love, tho', will array me right
and leave me just my a b c,
When That One, To Know Just A Minute
"faith" bleats to understand!
therefore we do life's labor
that one, to be quite sure
when that you met it with before
some that never lay
to know just how he suffered would be dear
but no man heard him cry
great spirit give to me
stop just a minute let me think!
how pleased they were, at what you said
As It Was His It May
of our immortal mind
and that is his business not ours
but the success was his it seems
as it has usual done
which door is mine and not
or is this death's experiment
but the fir is where declare
be judgment what it may
it was not for me
A Grant Of The Summer Nears
for pang of jealousy
of death's tremendous nearness
a grant of the divine
the sweeping up the heart,
and as the summer nears
returning to the west
the grace that i was chose
the grave was finished but the spade
was he afraid or tranquil
all else accused me and i smiled
let me think i'm sure
death we do not know
could take it
i'd do this way
Do We Deserve A Beggar Here And I
our lord thought no
"heaven" has different signs to me
a beggar here and there
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
just see if i troubled them
and life and i keep even
say that a little life for his
he seek conviction, that be this
do we deserve a thing
indignant that the joy was come
so like the meadows now
For Such An One Need Not Be A
contented as despair
when god remembered and the fiend
i came upon a worm
the day that i shall go
one need not be a house
for such an one as me
she's busy with an altered care
to know if he was patient part content
who till they died, did not alive become
i had been hungry, all the years
but death had told her so the first
how some one treated him;
How Short It Would Split His Table's
offended by the wind
could i do more for thee
by means of it in god's ear
the brain is deeper than the sea
of all the birds that be
of the seasons and the sun,
i never saw the sea;
i never saw before
it was the limit of my dream
and this of all my hopes
his table's spread too high for us
for it would split his heart, to know it
how short it takes to make a bride
just a look at the horses
the purple could not keep the east,
But For Yourself
never mind silent fields
that every time i wake
but searching i could see
to see this curious friend
just see if i troubled them
that felt so ample yesterday
not yet suspected but for flash
i had not had but for yourself
i'll say remember king
i am alive because
Yet, How Still The Sunshine Face His
i should not fear the foe then
that never did alight,
as far as it could see
and did the sunshine face his way
and yet, how still the landscape stands!
too wide for any night but heaven
and did the sunshine face his way
some one the sum could tell
a night there lay the days between
on this late morn the sun
of this could man deprive me
it cannot be again
gratitude is not the mention
to our endeavor not so real
They Thwarted Us Far Apart
they thwarted us with guns
that spurned us yesterday!
what death knows so well
i'd give i'd give my life of course
they put us far apart
but did he shatter it?
"conscious"?
won't you ask that
Just To Feel
then to him who bear
how they will tell the story
just to be poor for barefoot vision
the grass so little has to do
but tell him that it ceased to feel
it cannot be my spirit
but could not make them fit,
would put itself abroad
his own would fall so more
how well i knew the light before
i shall know why when time is over
i never thought to see
Nor Was I Had Worn It, Every Day,
an awe if it should be like that
when one has given up one's life
for i had worn it, every day,
i should not miss in yielding, though
nor was i hungry so i found
why heaven did not break away
i had the glory that will do
day knocked and we must part
would but some god inform him
What And If It Just Begin?
doom it beyond the rest
still just as easy, if it be thy will
or did it just begin?
what and if indeed
but, what of that?
how far is it to hell?
what and if indeed
I Know
his merit all my fear
might he but spy the lady's soul
because it was a child, you know
i know it, by the numb look
because your face
although i put away his life
and if he spoke what name was best
i never thought to see
if love be just beyond
and if i do when morning comes
that would not let the will
loose the flood you shall find it patent
Without The Will
that something it did do or dare
a picture if it care
that would not let the will
how short it takes to make a bride
till love that was and love too best to be
to lose if one can find again
but as they learn to see
but we couldn't learn!
without the knowing why!
That We But Recollect The Denied
perceived by the denied
disdained them, from the sky
but teach the footman from vevay
offend the vision and it flee
as yet my heart be dry
it's thoughts and just one heart
it dropped so low in my regard
but just a crumb to me
alike to him one
an honor, thought can turn her to
that we but recollect the one
I Cannot Speak
and entertain despair
and yet existence some way back
further than that
too far the strength
till we are less afraid
and yet we guessed it not
because he knows it cannot speak
cannot perish, though it fail
i cannot climb thee
and thou not there
thee then no me
my need of thee be done
i wonder how the rich may feel
As Yet My Heart Be Dry
i should have had the joy
i think that earth feels so
could she have guessed that it would be
what comfort was it wisdom was
as yet my heart be dry
not if the just suspect me
it makes no difference abroad
it always felt to me a wrong
because i know it's true
i've seen?
but swear, and i will let you by,
heaven is what i cannot reach!
would you be the fool to stay?
going to heaven!
"i'm sunrise" need the majesty?
He Did Not Know I
we're fearing that their hearts will drop
this covert have all the children
as small they say as i
yet i for it would pay
he did not know i saw;
i love thee then how well is that?
but morn didn't want me now
I Remember Me;
power is only pain
not yet, our eyes can see
"they have not chosen me," he said,
that they remember me;
i hope the "children" there won't be "new fashioned" when i come
although i knew to take it
let me think i'm sure
then i remember not,
If You Would Like To Me
that our minds are hot,
how much can come
i hope the "children" there won't be "new fashioned" when i come
never could to me
if you would like to borrow,
it cannot be my spirit
what could it hinder so to say?
i knew not but the next
we didn't do it tho'!
just felt the world go by!
as pride were all it could
but to faith a revolution
what day be dark to me
New
when once it has begun
a bird by chance that goes that way
so say if queen it be
of which i have never heard?
nor will he like the dumb
it's all i have to bring today
no one he seemed to know
fame of myself to lack although
as if they just repressed
when he was mean and new
and then the list is done
when choice of life is past
they given us presents most you know
No One Aware Of The Primer To Do
a fear will urge it where
will be the one aware of death
when it was dark enough to do
because he knows it cannot speak
what plenty it would be
no one he seemed to know
because the winds would find it out
what word had they, for me?
and this one do not feel the same
but just the primer to a life
prove like a pearl
delight without a cause
heaven is so far of the mind
that love is life
because i know it's true
To Know Each Other
yet who of all the throng
all life to know each other
how sick to wait in any place but thine
and held it in our bosom
life is what we make of it
some things that stay there be
to one who never felt it blaze
it did not surprise me
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
All This And Mine Should Be,
as dying say it does
they wonder if it died on that
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
all this and more if i should tell
the need did not reduce
maybe that would awaken them!
that would not let the will
that yours and mine should be,
but if the lady come
no man he seemed to know;
but he was left alive because
how well i knew the light before
i put my pleasure all abroad
But Since
death leaves us homesick, who behind,
uncertain if myself, or he,
nor had i time to love, but since
but if he ask where you are hid
when i have lost, you'll know by this
i only must not change so fair
and then it doesn't stay
when it goes, 't is like the distance
ungained, it may be, by a life's low venture,
how better, than a gem!
a pope, or something of that kind!
she's happy, with a new content
for that last onset, when the king
we passed the setting sun,
Tell The Common Way,
and sigh for lack of heaven but not
be of me afraid,
it seemed the common way,
see where it hurt me that's enough
i could not tell the date of mine,
i think the days could every one
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
my heart would wish it broke before
i wonder if when years have piled
hope it was that kept me warm
but no man moved me till the tide
my best was gone to sleep
and how if he be dead
more life went out when he went
that beckoned it away!
To Lead Him Who Strives Severe
to him who strives severe
to lead him to the well
the witnessing, to us
that was the witness for the grace
grandfather of the days is he
the day that i was crowned
Nor Will He Like Them All,
nor will he like the dumb
they called me to the window, for
and if they have to try,
or better, be with me
and yet it tasted like them all,
and know no other way
but what must be the smile
and life was not so ample i
but large enough for me
but unapproached it stands
foot of the bold did least attempt it
when it is lost, that day shall be
i'll tell you how the sun rose,
as stood you here
eyes were not meant to know,
Does Not Fix The Suns
and sigh for lack of heaven but not
where none of us should be,
nor definitely what it was,
it only moved as do the suns
i thought it would be opposite
does not know they are
as small they say as i
i could not prove the years had feet
i could not fix the year,
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,
Thought Of Doing Something To Land Before,
of almost too much love,
and thought of doing something to the shore
to the thawing wind audio
that water never did to land before,
Then, As For That Would Have Joined The
in airy dalliance,
and her in the angle of house and barn
the clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
that would have joined the house in flame
had worn them really about the same,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
though as for that the passing there
as if she played unheard the tenderness
Firm They Soon Saw He Wouldn't Advise
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
a light he was to no one but himself
that not everybody else knew was to count
they soon saw he would do someone a mischief
and still she had all they had they the lucky!
that was what marrying father meant to her,
not for me to ask which, when what he took
that a boy counts so much when saved from work,
they string together with a living thread,
when slowly and nobody comes with a light
and when i come to the garden ground,
so old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
the stricken flower bent double and so hung,
had wound strings round and round it like a bundle,
But, Warren, Please Remember How It And Having
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
but, warren, please remember how it is,
they are tireless folk, but slow and sad,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
and having perhaps the better claim,
to the dark and lament,
and then come back to it and begin over,
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,
Advancing Toward Her, "what Was It, Dear?"
he told me a little about himself,
he almost looks religious but he's not,
she had to ask, "what was it, dear?"
that wants it down,"i could say "elves"to him,
advancing toward her, "what is it you see
do you remember what it was you said?'
"there's something i should like to ask you, dear,"
that now it means to stay,
of course he's nothing to us, any more
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
they did not have the wit to say,
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,
Mind You, I's Tranger, I's Tranger,
'stranger, i wish i knew,'
i 'spose i've got to go the road i'm going,
i found that wing broken today!
mind you, i waited till len said the word,
i have been one acquainted with the night,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
I Almost Think If It Only Needs That
i almost think if i could do like you,
i think i know enough of hate
i let it lie there till i hope it slept,
i do not see why i should e'er turn back,
i'm not afraid of them, though, if they're not
but if you so much as dare to speak,
if we who sight along it round the world,
but never anymore the dead,
but it's not so, the place is the asylum,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
yet if he encountered one
he thinks young wilson a likely lad, though daft
he showed not the least surprise,
"no, but he hurt my heart the way he lay
I Suppose,
great waves looked over others coming in,
and every fleck of russet showing clear,
in the pain that has but one close,
i have been one acquainted with the night,
and i looked to be happy, and i was,
the plum, i suppose,
i never noticed it from here before,
Such Doubts Of The Thought Of The Hush
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
such doubts of education should depend
all simply in the springing of the year,
in spite of a scorched fourth-of-july feeling,
all simply in the springing of the year,
Before Them Over Their Heads To Seek The
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
next to nothing for weight,
to seek the happy isles together,
to listen ere we dared to look,
to sanctify to what far ends he will,
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,
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
So Out Of A Sort Of A
and fixity in our joys,
that gathers on the pane in empty rooms,
as on a farm, but planets, evening stars
years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
for such a charge, his snow upon the roof,
and whispers with a sort of stifled bark,
out of a house and so out of a farm
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
List To The Love Of The Apple
she is as in a field of silken tent
that the apple's a rose,
she bellows on a knoll against the sky,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
the graveyard draws the living still,
and the fragile bluets clustered there
and all the rest for them permissible ease,
and list to the love of these,
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
with only strength of the fighting arm
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,
No, I Will Go On Farther And I,'
stranger, you and i,'
no, i will go on farther and we shall see,"
i was glad though, no end, when we moved out,
before we met and you what i had passed,
before i built a wall i'd ask to know
i make a great noise
a man must partly give up being a man
all for me and not a question
Clear To Cheek,
he wouldn't let me put him on the lounge,
when he did what he did and burned his house down,
clear to the ground, he always kept his poise
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
not the same doe come back into her place,
of really never having meant to keep it,
next to nothing for weight,
rather than send their folks to such a place,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
But There Was No Wonder I Thought That
but there was no one, i was somewhere wondering
no wonder i was glad to get away,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
but i have promises to keep,
"when was i ever anything but kind to him?
"if you do!"she was opening the door wider,
blurred it, blotted it out, what was that whiteness?
it seems forever
the woods around it have it - it is theirs,
not so much larger than a bedroom, is it?
as it ran light, or had to bear a load,
just as you will till it becomes a habit,
a board is the best weapon if you have it,
The Heart Is Still Aching To A Quiet
even as on earth, in paradise;
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
were once more on their travels,
though two, close-keeping, are lass and lad,
with sorrow and dread,
and tenderly, life's little dream,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
the heart is still aching to seek,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
Making The Literal To Inspire
i found that wing broken today!
i must get out of here, i must get air,
not far, but near, i stood and saw it all
they looked about for someone to have done it,
he added, if you really care to know,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
but dared not spare to do the best we could
we speak the literal to inspire
something we were withholding made us weak
and you aren't darkening other people's lives
and simply staying possesses all
and making the best of their way back to life
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
To Lean Against And The Saw,
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
the petal of the rose
and in the morning glow,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
to see for once the inside of his house,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
that water never did to land before,
and that was the case to carry it in,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
to tell them "supper,"at the word, the saw,
to fill the trees with another shade,
or that showed with the lapse of time to vain
But What We Know Who When They Come
we know who when they come to town
i went to show you how to make it stay,
are you dumb because you know me not,
but what we miss we go to him and ask for,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
The Hole,
they are that that talks of going
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
the only other sound's the sweep
the road would fail; and on that side the fire
and roll back down the mound beside the hole,
up the brass barrel, velvet black inside,
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
somehow the change wore out like a prescription,
I Have Made
the snow must have made
i have been one acquainted with the night,
the thoughts may not have risen that so keep
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
Where They Sought Without The Air To
at having cultivated rock,
they look at the sea all day,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
that struck the earth,
and where they sought without the sword
and taken with it all the hyla breed
and cutting nothing not cut down already,
with anyone to death, comes so far short
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
what form my dreaming was about to take,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
Of Love Lies Not In Sheets The Root,
when heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?
too dark in the woods for a bird
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
of ever coming to the place again
to white rest, and a place of rest
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
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,
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,
In The Meal-sack Didn't Catch Then,
i made the bed up for him there to-night,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
had wound strings round and round it like a bundle,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
and over the walls i have wended;
i have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
in hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break
for its suggestion of what dreams!
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
holding the curve of one position,
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
I Was Distraught
then when i was distraught
i dwell in a lonely house i know
not yesterday i learned to know
as that i had no right to play
i thought a few might tangle, as they did,
Make We No Thesis Of Course There Must
and of course there must be something wrong
they are that that talks of going
the fen had every kind of bloom,
the only other sound's the sweep
such is the uncaged progress of the bear,
make we no thesis of the miller's plight,
holding the curve of one position,
The Singer Recalling
of things of moment to which, they wist,
'a word with you, that of the singer recalling
this is the word of your queen,"
the fen had every kind of bloom,
than the merest aimless breath of air,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
No One Can Know How Glad I Should
no one can know how glad i am to find
i might not have the chance i missed in life
i was something among the leaves i sought
that i should have guessed
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
other folks have to, and why shouldn't i?
to get so we had no one left to live with,
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
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,
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
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;
He Meant To This,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
the doctor, when he comes, don't let him, sister!"
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
if he wa'n't kept strict watch of, and it ended
that was well! and he stamped a hoof,
But Though They Were Something That, Though They
to darken nature and be summer woods -
hill atmosphere not cease to glow,
and yet too ready to believe the most,
about our place among the infinities,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
that probably it never would be lost,
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,
What Do We See?
and what do we see?
"you don't know how to ask it,"
what should that reckless zephyr fling
how different from the way it ever stood?
Tell You That I Let My Right
i let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
and tell you that i saw does still abide,
my right might be love but theirs was need,
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
Moon Get Crossed, But Work Ain't All,
the hurt is not enough,
that probably it never would be lost,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
that lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust,
no footstep moved it, 'this is all,' they sighed,
but work ain't all, len undertakes too much,
but just the kind that kinsfolk can't abide,
we didn't change without some sacrifice,
tomorrow they may form and go,
To The Ancient Lands Where It Than Just
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,
blind creature; and a while he didn't see,
when he did what he did and burned his house down,
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
he's trying to lift, straining to lift himself,"
to rest from his besetting fears,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
and there's more to it than just window-views
to the ancient lands where it left the shells
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
The Shade Of Woods Only And Me,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
around him to look after that make waste,
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
the heart is still aching to seek,
to tell them "supper,"at the word, the saw,
they take advantage of him shamefully,
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
with the breath of many flowers,
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
Hearts Not Averse To Its Root
by a misty fen that rang all night,
that that was the place to carry a heart
to find that the utmost reward
the bird was not to blame for his key,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
to sanctify to what far ends he will,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
the birds have less to say for themselves
but unless you put the right thing to its root
and yet too ready to believe the most,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
to sanctify to what far ends he will,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
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
Where The New-beginning Brooks
it keeps the pressure of a ladder-round,
where the grist of the new-beginning brooks
and her in the angle of house and barn
from growing under pavements of a town;
at one stroke of a match, brad had to turn
enough at least to buy tobacco with,
and so at last to learn to use their wings,
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
to better its perch for the night,
they plant dead trees for living, and the dead
and living people, and things they understand,
when, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
that tinged the atmosphere,
That Can Happen To Stay,
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
that now it means to stay,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
reminds me of all that can happen to harm
As It Ran Light, Or Had To Show
some humble way to save his self-respect,
for others, and those
mine with inner, weather,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
a miserable sight, and frightening, too
i see it's a fair, pretty sheet of water,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
as it ran light, or had to bear a load,
without a window light,
a bluebird comes tenderly up to alight
with a thick thumbnail to show how it ran
and not another like it could i see,
To That Height,
no, from the time when one is sick to death,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
they have to take you in,"
but unless you put the right thing to its root
in one last look the way they must not go,
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
Then Lightly Stooped To Have Done It,
of their worth for you to treasure,
through some delay, and call you to your face
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
they looked about for someone to have done it,
that now it means to stay,
The Day Was Scattered,
and cut a flower beside a ground bird's nest
a slender tinkling fall that made
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
the verses in it say and say,
but not long since in the lumber camps,
they might find fuel there, in withered brake,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
bearing it crushed and mystified,
where the flower was before it grew,
for though the grass was scattered,
summer was past and the day was past,
However It Has To The Kindred Spider To
what help he is there's no depending on,
however it is in some other world
but i understand, it is not the stones,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
and when i come to the garden ground,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
with the new city street it has to wear
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,
That Fate Had Made Thee For The Soul,
the wetter ground like glass
and thought of doing something to the shore
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
The Other Way,
the fault must partly have been in me,
there are things that can never be the same,
leastways for me and then they'll be convinced,
but now for me than you the other way,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
they looked about for someone to have done it,
of course they had to feed him without dishes,
They Were Content To Bear A Heart To
they were content to figure in the trees
the meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
with straining in the world's embrace,
we dance round in a ring and suppose,
and sweeping round it with a flaming sword,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
as it ran light, or had to bear a load,
The Flower Was Before It Grew,
where the flower was before it grew,
then the rain stopped and the blowing,
that jangled even above the general noise,
the stricken flower bent double and so hung,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
Stood Up To Us As To Us As
stood up to us as to a mother-bird
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
and thing next most diffuse to cloud,
make the day seem to us less brief,
Anything More Than The Beauties She So Truly
the beauties she so truly sees,
for them there was really nothing sad,
it's highways, and he's got too many men
when something strange about it made me think,
that when they're gathered shake
"there, you have said it all and you feel better,
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
and might out meddling make her more afraid,
But Which It Was Intended So,
setting the thing that is supreme,
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
there were enough things to be thought of then,
to take him in, and might be willing to
and so the choice must be again,
but wherever the truth may be
will be more lonely ere it will be less -
and ever it was intended so,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
i should not be withheld but that some day
and so the choice must be again,
but if you so much as dare to speak,
the thoughts may not have risen that so keep
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,
We Had No One Thing More That Was
must speak and tell us where they are,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
not loth to have excuse to go,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to find that the utmost reward
for you to doubt the likelihood,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
we ran as if to meet the moon
Was The Better Claim,
wind and window flower
and warm stove-window light,
that sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
and having perhaps the better claim,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
what had that flower to do with being white,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
Not For Me To The Letter Came
yet every second spear
one so lonely was fain to list,
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
they knew they had but to stay their stay
not for me to ask which, when what he took
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
and thing next most diffuse to cloud,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
they sent him back to her, the letter came
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
and her face changed from terrified to dull,
and nothing to look backward to with pride,
Bought The World Will End In Fire,
though there's small profit in comparisons,
these pools that, though in forests, still reflect
some say the world will end in fire,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
Was The Wind, Was The Wind, Was The
full many a time to say his say
he says they two will make a team for work,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
but neither one was the thief
that that was the place to carry a heart
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
a baggy figure, equally pathetic
a dole of bread, a purse,
He Wouldn't See,
she let him look, sure that he wouldn't see,
he will not see me stopping here
but i'll not have the fellow back,"he said,
and see the way you lived, but i don't know!
didn't feel anything, and if it did,
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
"when was i ever anything but kind to him?
That Water Never Did To Flames Without Twice
and then the watcher at his pulse took fright,
blindly striking at my knee and missed,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
going the other way and they not seen it,
but, warren, please remember how it is,
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
that water never did to land before,
to carry again to you,
what matter if we go clear to the west,
i think they would believe the lie,
She Had To Ask, "what Was Intended So,
the scent of apples, i am drowsing off,
soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
and he likes having thought of it so well
and ever it was intended so,
how was it with him for a second trial,
that a man for god should strike a blow,
he thinks young wilson a likely lad, though daft
she had to ask, "what was it, dear?"
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
but the thing of it is, i need to be kept,
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
it is because like men we look too near,
We Love For What Would You Have To
"of course he did, what would you have him say?
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
i shall not forget how his laugh rang out,
i knew so well, whose garments trail
we love the things we love for what they are,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
there is the gale to urge behind
what but design of darkness to appall?
and so i dream of going back to be,
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
You'll Be Gone,
not the same doe come back into her place,
they take advantage of him shamefully,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
and so i dream of going back to be,
"i'd not be in a hurry to say that,"
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
from one who had no right to be heard from,
will like the flowers beside them soon be gone,
you'll be surprised at him how much he's broken,
they would not find me changed from him they knew
They Plant Dead Trees For Long, They Never
and put him on his guard, "silas is back,"
her fingers moved the latch for all reply,
and caught me splitting wood in the yard,
they plant dead trees for living, and the dead
and from there those that lifted eyes could count
so low for long, they never right themselves,
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
On A Stop To Know That For
across the reeds to a window light,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
toward the throne to witness there
there is the gale to urge behind
they found a way to put a stop to it,
with a thick thumbnail to show how it ran
to this lean feeding save once a year
and on a day we meet to walk the line
and to the forest edge you came one day
to seek the happy isles together,
to know that for destruction ice
ever to grind to soil for grass,
He Took A Laugh,
to any watch they keep?
to listen ere we dared to look,
something you somehow haven't to deserve,"
i went to show you how to make it stay,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
he took a strange thing to be roguish over,
he may be better than appearances,
that got her nowhere; one more gradual,
and could not speak,
With Shouts Afar To Pull The Ties Gave,
the ties gave,
mine with inner, weather,
once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
with shouts afar to pull the cable taught,
the mystic link to bind and hold
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 Wood That Reposes,
the weapon should be
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
and question what of the night to be,
without the gift of sight,
so small the window frames the whole of it,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
'tis of the essence of life here,
without the birds, without the breeze,
the desolate, deserted trees,
bearing it crushed and mystified,
but still unstoried, artless, unenhanced,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
had worn them really about the same,
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,
To Break; Though Once They Seem Not Being
and on a day we meet to walk the line
to carry again to you,
from which to gather your gown,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
he is in doubt whether to admit real trouble to a place beside the
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
they were welcome to their belief,
Before Man To Have Their Not Being Wasted
before man to blow to right
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
next to nothing for weight,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
to seek the happy isles together,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
now lichens are due to have their turn,
to better its perch for the night,
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
and still the bird revisited her young,
and grants us by silence the boon of her roses,
by countless silken ties of love and thought
Sweeping Round It With A Sound Beside
my sash is lowered when night comes on;
some sympathy was wasted on the house,
and work was little in the house,
the well was dry beside the door,
and a cold chill shivered across the lake,
and sweeping round it with a flaming sword,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
but upsilon which is the greek for you,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
for what they�d better wait till we have done,
i don't learn what their names are, let alone
i'll sit and see if that small sailing cloud
and sorry i could not travel both
Yet Nothing I Should Come?
next to nothing for color,
seems to owe naught to any single cord,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to ask if there is some mistake,
what would you say to war if it should come?
and long to know if still i held them dear,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
and what have i then?
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
yet nothing i should care to leave behind,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
you were forever finding some new play,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
With Being White,
what would you say to war if it should come?
what had that flower to do with being white,
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
leastways for me and then they'll be convinced,
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
len says one steady pull more ought to do it,
how else? they are not known to send the dead
len says one steady pull more ought to do it,
with a thick thumbnail to show how it ran
the water for which we may have to look
and there his courage could not endure
If Certain It Seems, But Hold
with night so near, but not much further up,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
that�s what for reasons i should like to know�
to learn about not launching out too soon
something you somehow haven't to deserve,"
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
"when was i ever anything but kind to him?
we didn't change without some sacrifice,
To Think The Trees
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
for you to doubt the likelihood,
to know that for destruction ice
and to whom i was like to give offence,
you wanted to restore them to their right
that brought me to my feet to hold it back
that seems to tell me how i ought to feel,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
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,
To See If The Only Other Sound's
the only other sound's the sweep
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
still growing, and on one a stake and prop,
But Still Lies Pointed As I Walked Once
as i walked once round it in possession,
but still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust,
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
a tree beside the wall stands bare,
the he shut down the trap door with a ring in it
the wood was grey and the bark warping off it
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
On The Hay
you never see him standing on the hay
on through the watching for that early birth
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
scorning greatly not to demand
were not too much to pay for birth,
Comes That Struck The Earth,
and think no more of wall-builders than fools,
broad-shouldered little slabs there in the sunlight
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
the foe thrust back unsafe beyond the rhine,
that struck the earth,
and comes that other fall we name the fall,
To Return, Earth's The Sphere,
ever to have tree bloom or bear,
around him to look after that make waste,
but turns to pink between the teeth,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
to have you come and camp here on our land,
make up your mind to die in state,
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
To Go With The Tuft Of Things Of
the tuft of flowers
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
to go with the drift of things,
of course they had to feed him without dishes,
of things of moment to which, they wist,
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 Done,
it hadn't found the place to blow;
but never anymore the dead,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
when others are sleeping,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
and nothing happened, day was all but done,
for still others they found,
Clear To Return, Earth's The Planets Seem
she had to ask, "what was it, dear?"
with laughter when she found us soon,
it totters when she licks it with her tongue,
the doctor, when he comes, don't let him, sister!"
clear to the ground, he always kept his poise
the memory that he chose the life;
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
the planets seem to interfere in their curves -
and melting further in the wind to mud,
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,
For Him To Carry It Was The Case
it seemed god let thee flutter from his gentle clasp,
and ever it was intended so,
the beauties she so truly sees,
saying, and she could have him, and before
but that he knows in singing not to sing,
of really never having meant to keep it,
and that was the case to carry it in,
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
Don't Want The Best For Me,
i doubted if i should ever come back,
when it seemed as if i could bear no more,
but if you so much as dare to speak,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
don't carry it to someone else this time,
it's not that len don't want the best for me,
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
"but did he? i just want to know,"
i do not see why i should e'er turn back,
two that don't love can't live together without them,
Yet, What Was That Was That Reckless
behind light words that tease and flout,
and living people, and things they understand,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
a brook to none but who remember long,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
and long to know if still i held them dear,
for the least sin, it wouldn't take us long
what should that reckless zephyr fling
how no one dead will seem to come,
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
next to nothing for weight,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
Tomorrow Dead Will Come To It Wouldn't Reward
tomorrow dead will come to stay,"
still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awake
and listen - how it ought to go!
yet knowing how way leads on to way,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
the footpath down to the well is healed,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
to seek the happy isles together,
next to nothing for weight,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
to rest from his besetting fears,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
To Feel The Gunnel Of Flowers Growing
footprints in summer dust as if we drew
as if to prove saws knew what supper meant,
to feel the earth as rough
as full to the gunnel of flowers growing
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
To Watch The House That Laid The Right
she could be sure there was no hidden ill
they had no way of knowing a fool,
a heartfelt prayer for the poor of god,
and a shout greets the daring one,
and then there was a pile of wood for which
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
to every thing on earth the compass round,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
but once within the wood, we paused
All Measure Of Pace,
till we lose all measure of pace,
and all but lost,
but so with all, from babes that play
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
but the first thing next morning we reflected
that now it means to stay,
what had that flower to do with being white,
Where Bird And The Trees That Have It
the trees that have it in their pent-up buds
like the elves in the wood?
where bird and flower were one and the same,
and yet, in view of how many things,
that tinged the atmosphere,
But He Meant To No One But He
to see if he was talking in his sleep,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
blood-root, and violets so soon to be now,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
it seemed too tiny to have room for feet,
it was too lonely for her there,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
so long as he would leave enough unsaid,
a light he was to no one but himself
I Shall Set Forth For Every Parcel I
i shall set forth for somewhere,
for every parcel i stoop down to seize
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
but he turned first, and led my eye to look
and her face changed from terrified to dull,
what had that flower to do with being white,
For The Birds, Without The Middle Of Many
with the curves of his axe-helves and his having
and held against the world of hoary grass,
something inspires the only cow of late
for the grapes' sake along the all,
then sit down in the middle of them all,
with the breath of many flowers,
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a star in two or three, the way you split
'a word with you, that of the singer recalling
without the birds, without the breeze,
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,
To Stand Simply Forth,
that calm seems certainly safe to last to-night,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
to yield with a grace to reason,
to this lean feeding save once a year
to loose the resin and take it down
that brought me to my feet to hold it back
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
to play with to-morrow,
to better its perch for the night,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
and he could wait -we'd see to him tomorrow,
that was what marrying father meant to her,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to all my length,
These Nights,
'i wonder,' i say, 'who the owner of those is,'
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
in the unloading, silas does that well,
besides the grave,
and left no trace but the cellar walls,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
more than you have yourself, some of these nights,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
and often they brought so much to say
so as to say for certain i was here
and i looked to be happy, and i was,
and setting sun to hyla brook, i gave it
my long scythe whispered and left the hay to make,
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
To Rebuke The Right Thing To It And
she rested on a log and tossed
the shattered water made a misty din,
a little through the lips and throat,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
and feel a spirit kindred to my own;
they found a way to put a stop to it,
a flower unplucked is but left to the falling,
water came to rebuke the too clear water,
and then come back to it and begin over,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
to seek the happy isles together,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
Among Bare Maple Boughs, And One Thing More
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
first soldier, and then poet, and then both,
and eased his heavy breathing, but still slept,
expressed them, and its curves were no false curves
further o�erhead than all but stars and angels,�
for still others they found,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
they cannot mean to plant it, no
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
Of Books,
of his raven color of hair,
he hates to see a boy the fool of books,
surging, the grasses dizzied me of thought,
truth? a pebble of quartz? for once, then, something,
a farm, a countryside, or if he can,
The Atmosphere,
of alder catch my lifted axe behind me,
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
'tis of the essence of life here,
with which the modern world is being swept,
that tinged the atmosphere,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
but on the memory of one absent most,
Through Some Delay, And Gave Them Back Their
word i was in the house alone
there was a gate i had leaned at for the view
what held it though on one side was a tree
sideways, that would have run her on the stove
you had begun, and gave them back their shade,
through some delay, and call you to your face
the bridegroom thought it little to give
Far In The Maples, Pale, But Not A
and once that seemed too much;
not only sands and gravels
but never anymore the dead,
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
heroic in it nakedness,
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,
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
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,
A Pebble Of Quartz? A Witching Wand,
he tried it at the eye-hold in the axe-head,
in summertime with a witching wand,
mrs, baptiste came in and rocked a chair
truth? a pebble of quartz? for once, then, something,
a narrow passage all the way around,
and question what of the night to be,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
but the pure fate to which you go
it wouldn't do to be too hard on brad
the way we piled it, and let�s be the talk
it is because like men we look too near,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
from a twig's having lashed across it open,
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
That The Garden Round
then lets it snap back upright in the sky,
that the birds there in all the garden round
to the ancient lands where it left the shells
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
the heart can think of no devotion
with only strength of the fighting arm
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
With The Lips And Throat,
a dole of bread, a purse,
the beast,
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
and a shout greets the daring one,
a little through the lips and throat,
with the glittering things,
these pools that, though in forests, still reflect
that struck the earth,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
Around Him To Loose The Best Way Is
the best way is to come up hill with me
to loose the resin and take it down
around him to look after that make waste,
oh, let�s not wait for rain to make it safe,
Somehow Must Be, As He Went Out And
by leaning back myself, as if the reins
as he went out and in to fetch the cows
was i desired in friendship, partly as some one
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
somehow must have gotten abroad,
the water for which we may have to look
there they have every means proper to do with,
that water never did to land before,
to yield with a grace to reason,
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
All Of One Position,
holding the curve of one position,
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
to white rest, and a place of rest
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
all song of the woods is crushed like some
and the world had found new terms of worth,
and every fleck of russet showing clear,
assorted characters of death and blight
and the nature of time and space,
the obscuration upon earth,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
"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,
They Seemed To Hear Us Talk
i left you in the morning,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
and nothing to look backward to with pride,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
to wash the steps with pail and rag,
where someone used to climb and crawl
you come to fetch me from my work to-night
to hear us talk
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
they seemed to fail the bluebirds under them
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
to find that the utmost reward
and yet too ready to believe the most,
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,
Man Came To Tell Me In French-english
wasn�t she glad now? everything seemed won,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
but all he had to tell me in french-english
in clomping there, he scared it once again
he courts the autumnal mood,
he must seek me would he undo the wrong,
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,
`i'll Have Outwalked The Withered Leaves
`i'll have one if i sell my farm to buy it,'
ah! i remember me
i don't know rightly whether any man can,"
not caring so very much what she supposes,
but tree, i have seen you taken and tossed,
i found it with the withered leaves
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
and i judge from that elysian freight
i trusted the brook barrier, but feared
He Discovers That The Sureness Of Hair,
to make no more of a wall than an open gate,
what will next prove a rose,
and leave it there far from a useful fireplace
sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it,
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
a cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
on every tree a bucket with a lid,
leaving on one wire tooth a lock of hair,
but stretched away unto the edge of doom,
the obscuration upon earth,
the breeze three odors brought,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
So Low For Long, They Were Something That,
with which the modern world is being swept,
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
but it's more likely he was crossed in love,
'what passed between us, she was only reigning,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
so low for long, they never right themselves,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to know that for destruction ice
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
to teach him how to build a load of hay "
and making the best of their way back to life
to better its perch for the night,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
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,
For The Hard Work, He Wasn't Selling Tickets,
where his job, when he wasn't selling tickets,
that was well! and he stamped a hoof,
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
if from its being kept forever under,
no, from the time when one is sick to death,
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
he consigned to the moon, such as she was,
he marked her through the pane,
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
Let Me Into Your Grief, I'm Not So
and the more loitering are turned
the leaves are all dead on the group,
the road would fail; and on that side the fire
across the reeds to a window light,
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
he said he couldn't make the boy believe
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
i wasn�t going to tell you and i mustn�t,
let me into your grief, i'm not so much
for i have had too much
i've been away once yes, i've been away,
Scared A Silver Blade,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
like the two strokes across a dollar sign,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
pale orchises, and scared a bright green snake,
leap up, like that, like that, and land so lightly
one on a side, it comes to little more,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
and that has made all the difference,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
he wanted to go over that, but most of all
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
that water never did to land before,
But The World's Evil, I Won't Have
but the world's evil, i won't have grief so
but dared not spare to do the best we could
to seek the brook if still it ran;
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
of really never having meant to keep it,
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
so old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
There He Didn't See,
but a leaf that lingered brown,
if design govern in a thing so small,
but were always a rose,
blind creature; and a while he didn't see,
the bridegroom wished he knew,
there he had built his stolen shack,
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
to seek the brook if still it ran;
to the ancient lands where it left the shells
and thought of doing something to the shore
and brush the mow with the summer load,
up to the brim, and even above the brim,
they turn their back on the land,
But Though They Kept,
and then came racing wildly on again
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
and yet too ready to believe the most,
but yield who will to their separation,
and to do that to birds was why she came,
That Reposes,
something inspires the only cow of late
that in the general mowing
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
to find fused in another star,
across the reeds to a window light,
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
and bring it to market when you please
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
so may another do of right,
or give some sign of life? because you can't,
and, if you asked me, even help pretend
That At Such A Time!
of daring should be still to dare,
one had to be versed in country things
there were enough things to be thought of then,
and see you pleased once more with words of mine?
of really never having meant to keep it,
think of it, talk like that at such a time!
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
vague dream head lifted out of the ground,
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
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
Melting Further In All The Birds There
night comes; the black bats tumble and dart;
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
out of the woods, worn out upon the trail,"
that the birds there in all the garden round
a number in, but what about the brook
in any rough place where it caught,
and melting further in the wind to mud,
and cold to an orchard so young in the bark
but that he knows in singing not to sing,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
with the flowers to play,
and once she went to break a bough
that was what marrying father meant to her,
back to the place from which she came
Tell The Pure Fate To Hide In
around him to look after that make waste,
but the pure fate to which you go
and when i come to the garden ground,
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
to hide in the world
and tell the stones, men hate to die
around him to look after that make waste,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
that wrought on him beside her in the night,
Stays More That Was It Ever Less Than
stays more popular
was it ever less than a treason
and one thing more that was not then to say,
of course he's nothing to us, any more
they tried to keep him clothed, but he paraded
and often they brought so much to say
what had that flower to do with being white,
but something has to be left to god,
to take him in, and might be willing to
Ah, When To The Dark And The Heart
and lose myself amid so many alike,
and then come back to it and begin over,
to the dark and lament,
ah, when to the heart of man
one back and forward, in and out of shadow,
the difficulty of seeing what stood still,
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
's Silas' One Accomplishment,
"enough,"
"i know, that's silas' one accomplishment,
'i wonder,' i say, 'who the owner of those is,'
'someone else can,' 'then someone else will have to,'
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
Sideways, That In Guys It Gently Sways At
at least this far,
at a star quaking in the other end,
and at the other end the microscope,
the lasting memory at all clear,
so that in guys it gently sways at ease,
sideways, that would have run her on the stove
that life has for us on the wrack
Afraid Of Me, There's Two Can Play
and a man with a smoky lantern chimney?
like a malice prepense,
but were always a rose,
in the pain that has but one close,
afraid of me, there's two can play at that,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
outside there in the entry, for i saw it,"
that the birds there in all the garden round
that tinged the atmosphere,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
a number in, but what about the brook
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
bring berries under the wagon seat,
He Looked For From His Thought,
and with his eyes he asked her not to ask,
or anything he looked for from his brother,
he sees days slipping from him that were the best for what they
he stood there bringing march against his thought,
the sound was behind me instead of before,
so small the window frames the whole of it,
what but design of darkness and of night?
the work of hunters is another thing,
is what to make of a diminished thing,
and thought of doing something to the shore
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
Dread Fifty Above More Than Broken,
than populous
dread fifty above more than fifty below,"
they throw a forest down less cut than broken,
something or someone watching made that gust,
but whether or not a man was asked
no, not as there is a time to talk,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
but so with all, from babes that play
and so not carrying the tree away
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,
The Wish Was Strong,
and i judge from that elysian freight
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
however it is in some other world
and truly it was fair enough for flowers
but it's not so, the place is the asylum,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
i know that this is way in ours,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
Warren Returned Too Soon, It Ended
not for me to ask which, when what he took
if he wa'n't kept strict watch of, and it ended
he could not help but mark,
warren returned too soon, it seemed to her,
not yet the little dotted in me seek,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
a brook to none but who remember long,
that was what marrying father meant to her,
to have the best he had, or had to spare
had brought to rest,
with no expression, nothing to express,
but turns to pink between the teeth,
my long scythe whispered and left the hay to make,
and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him,
he marked her through the pane,
Be One Traveler, Long I Am, What
and be one traveler, long i stood
and shout from where i am, what is it?
i thought, who is that man? i didn't know you,
and would feel if i wasn't all gone wrong,
that i suddenly head all i needed to hear,
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,
That Tinged The Sun
the trial by existence
the obscuration upon earth,
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
and roll back down the mound beside the hole,
and a cold chill shivered across the lake,
that tinged the atmosphere,
and the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,
the breeze three odors brought,
doubtless bear names that the mosses mar,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
and dead wings carried like a paper kite,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
and warn them away with a stick for a gun,
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,
Still,
of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
enchant the land with amethyst,
and the shallow waters aflutter with wind
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
that rested on the banister, and slid downstairs;
to read the gravestones on the hill;
make the settled snowbank steam;
and smooth and moist in vernal heat,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
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,
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,
Wished Her Heart In A Garden Of
it stands in a garden of old-fashioned roses,
and wished her heart in a case of gold
without the gift of sight,
the body of one of their dead
thus of old the douglas did,
a temple of the heat,
short of the perch their languid flight was toward;
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
a temple of the heat,
the figure of our being less that two
all song of the woods is crushed like some
so small the window frames the whole of it,
the measure of the little while
thought cleaves the interstellar gloom
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,
I Have Promises To Keep,
i was something among the leaves i sought
since first i saw thee glance,
any fixed wages, though i wish i could,'
i should suppose, i can't say i see how,
and tell you that i saw does still abide,
but i have promises to keep,
but the mountains i raise
i shouldn't mind his bettering himself
are you dumb because you know me not,
i heard you talk,
It Stained A Side, It Stained A Cord
a wind to blow in earnest from some quarter,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
the water for which we may have to look
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
trying to sell his farm and then not selling,
to have you come and camp here on our land,
to find that the utmost reward
and to the forest edge you came one day
when a friend calls to me from the road
one on a side, it comes to little more,
before it stained a single human breast,
it was a cord of maple, cut and split
Things They Understand,
summer was past and the day was past,
and ever it was intended so,
and thus it is i know so well
i felt as a fool to have been so caught,
but if you so much as dare to speak,
and draws it down as if it were a lover
it's a star-splitter if there ever was one,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
and living people, and things they understand,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
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?
Like A Second Trial,
like a malice prepense,
a dole of bread, a purse,
doing a man's work, though a child at heart
how was it with him for a second trial,
all for me and not a question
they looked about for someone to have done it,
and all for nothing it had ever done
what had that flower to do with being white,
"i want him to, he'll have to soon or late,"
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
Then Took The Daylight Falls,
since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven as yet
erect, but not without its waves, as when
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
then took the other, as just as fair,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
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,
There Are Things That Can Never Be The
better to go down dignified
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
he wanted to go over that, but most of all
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
coming and going all the time, they are,
there are things that can never be the same,
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
Disturbed, I Stood And Saw It All
the life of muscles rocking soft
in the seat of my sense,
and be my love in the rain,
i have walked out in rain and back in rain,
what i was walling in or walling out,
but no, i was out for stars;
disturbed, i doubt not, by my thought,
not far, but near, i stood and saw it all
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
didn't feel anything, and if it did,
Like A Beast's Stall, To That Height?
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
and a shout greets the daring one,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
but turns to pink between the teeth,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
through some delay, and call you to your face
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
The Gloaming With Mary;
i pass by that way in the gloaming with mary;
i have come by the highway home,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
the barren boughs without the leaves,
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
Men Of Surprise
where the field stretches toward the north
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
then sit down in the middle of them all,
men of the woods and lumberjacks,
upon the education of those who held them,
some guttural exclamation of surprise
from having heard the daylong voice of eve
Where The Foe Thrust Back Unsafe Beyond The
something sinister in the tone
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
where the bird was before it flew,
with inclinations it could call its own,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
the swarm dilating round the perfect trees,
the foe thrust back unsafe beyond the rhine,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
a miserable sight, and frightening, too
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,
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
Which May Be Thought, But Only So To
before god's last put out the light was spoken,
and still she had all they had they the lucky!
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
one on a side, it comes to little more,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
of daring should be still to dare,
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,
Where His Job, When He Loves;
she let him look, sure that he wouldn't see,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play
where his job, when he wasn't selling tickets,
in time, had she not realized her danger
the sound was behind me instead of before,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
a sort of catch-all full of attic clutter,
more blameless in the sense of being less
the more of right the more he loves;
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
yet for them the lilac renewed its leaf,
And, Tired Of Aimless Circling In Clomping Off;
all turn and look one way,
with none among them that ever sings,
the way he mixed that in with other things,
and, tired of aimless circling in one place,
in clomping off; and scared the outer night,
the water comes ashore,
bring the singer, bring the nester;
that rested on the banister, and slid downstairs;
I See,
i craved strong sweets, but those
i wonder about the trees,
i don't learn what their names are, let alone
but just the kind that kinsfolk can't abide,
and not another like it could i see,
but i understand, it is not the stones,
didn't feel anything, and if it did,
be glad of water, but don't forget
or give some sign of life? because you can't,
for the least sin, it wouldn't take us long
Only, Of Course, They Can't Sustain The Wall,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
there where it is we do not need the wall,
warren, i wish you could have heard the way
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
only, of course, they can't sustain the part,
but thought has need of no such things,
baptiste was anxious for her; but no more
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 Atmosphere,
that tinged the atmosphere,
the desolate, deserted trees,
and alder and grape vine entanglement,
and proud, too, of themselves for doing so,
and save ourselves unaided,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
as leo, orion, and the pleiades,
Like Stanchions In The Night,
something inspires the only cow of late
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
and the pear is, and so's
that's standing by the mother, it's so young,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
the bird was not to blame for his key,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
like stanchions in the barn, from floor to ceiling,
one back and forward, in and out of shadow,
that wrought on him beside her in the night,
like winter and evening coming on together,
To Let Him Know We Look Too Near,
call it a day, i wish they might have said
it is because like men we look too near,
let�s not care what we do with it to-night,
we don't cut off from coming to church suppers,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
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
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,
That A Box,
but nothing so like beating on a box,
and fit the earth like a leather glove,
love and a question
that a man for god should strike a blow,
isn't given a moment's arrest-
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
They Fall, They Fall, They Intersect
no, not as there is a time to talk,
little less nothing! and that ended it,
rouse them all, both the free and not so free
should waste them all,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
in one last look the way they must not go,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
With Only Strength Of Dauntless Wings,
the more of right the more he loves;
and the nature of time and space,
for thought has a pair of dauntless wings,
with only strength of the fighting arm
the fen had every kind of bloom,
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
and work was little in the house,
the barn opposed across the way,
that struck the earth,
pointed the decimal off with one deep thrust,
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,
A Time To A Window Light, And Then
or keeps the end from being hard,
going the other way and they not seen it,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
or shadow, but a cavern hole,
across the reeds to a window light,
nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
a narrow passage all the way around,
it only gives our wish for blue a whet,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
it is the autumnal mood with a difference,
it has lasted me many and many a year,
a small bird flew before me, he was careful
a voice said, look me in the stars
the blue prunella every child's delight,
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,
For Flowers
that day she put our heads together,
he says that leaves are old and that for flowers
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
he would put him onto the case,
so long as he would leave enough unsaid,
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
erect, but not without its waves, as when
were not, as 'twere, the merest mask of gloom,
That Brought Him To Take,
were he not gone,
that when they're gathered shake
she had to lie and hear love things made dreadful
thus till he had them almost feeling dared
saying, and she could have him, and before
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
what form my dreaming was about to take,
that brought him to that creaking room was age,
they knew, and just when he was at the height,
he courts the autumnal mood,
and he a winter breeze,
and the body he wore
A Bear-skin Rug Of Rest,
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
and the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
the graveyard draws the living still,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
and thought of doing something to the shore
to lean against and hear in the dark,
across the sill from the outer gloom,
within, the bride in the dusk alone
a number in, but what about the brook
That Those Dark Trees,
that life has for us on the wrack
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
of course he's nothing to us, any more
and question what of the night to be,
her tone of meaning but without the words,
one of my wishes is that those dark trees,
when the sun is out and the wind is still,
that struck the earth,
and the strange birds say,
and all but lost,
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
There Was Never A Farm
out of a house and so out of a farm
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
it is the autumnal mood with a difference,
was a shade less the color of night,
the shattered water made a misty din,
a slender tinkling fall that made
a cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
reflects a standing gull
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
in a thrush's breast,
Don't Carry It With Him For A Spell
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
by setting it out on a northerly slope,
how was it with him for a second trial,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
to warm the frozen swamp as best it could
to whoever the knock
for you to doubt the likelihood,
what had that flower to do with being white,
and to whom i was like to give offence,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to express how much it didn't want to die,
don't carry it to someone else this time,
they leave us so to the way we took,
not for me to ask which, when what he took
The Homes Of Time And The Fragile
than populous
than now these numberless years the elves,
the graveyard draws the living still,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and the fragile bluets clustered there
and the nature of time and space,
of trees and crack of branches, common things,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and looked at the world, and descended;
and the strange birds say,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
and held against the world of hoary grass,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
The Secret Sits In The Birds, Without The
with the royal heart of robert the bruce
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
the headless aftermath,
without the birds, without the breeze,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
that rested on the banister, and slid downstairs;
As The Night Long,
there would be more than ocean-water broken
but more than one as yet, your parasol
all turn and look one way,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
until the strength was shouted out of him,
but not long since in the lumber camps,
nor vainly listen all the night long,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
the place it reached to blackened instantly,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
that now it means to stay,
Showed Him, Through A Finger Length
and in the hush we joined to make
and then come back to it and begin over,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
and so at last to learn to use their wings,
though we choose greatly, still to lack
and to do that to birds was why she came,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
and making the best of their way back to life
to the dark and lament,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
and impulse, having dipped a finger length
wrap him for shroud in a petal,
From The
the hills are verdured pasture-wise;
with rock and washout, and unsafe in darkness;
begin in smudge with ropy smoke and know
when pear and cherry bloom went down in showers
in any rough place where it caught,
to do with what was in the darkened parlour?
he is in doubt whether to admit real trouble to a place beside the
no, from the time when one is sick to death,
from one who had no right to be heard from,
For Having Forsworn The Want Of It In
what had that flower to do with being white,
and that has made all the difference,
for having forsworn the world,
affection or the want of it in that state,
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
Shut It Was, You Can Be Certain,
i was running with joy on the demon's trail,
i listened for his whetstone on the breeze,
his mood rejecting all his mind suggests,
he will not go behind his father's saying,
and shut it after her, "be kind,"she said,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
if that was what it was, you can be certain,
and it was older sure than this year's cutting,
it's thus he does it of a winter night,
but the thing of it is, i need to be kept,
Having Perhaps The Wish Was Strong,
but with one step backward taken
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
and having perhaps the better claim,
and none are taken but who will,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
and having perhaps the better claim,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
and having perhaps the better claim,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
When The House Isn't Sentient; The Wind Is
that's standing by the mother, it's so young,
this sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is,
but a house isn't sentient; the house
when the sun is out and the wind is still,
there is the gale to urge behind
and slows his horse to a meaning walk,
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,
The Dark Of The Pleasure Of Ether,
wild, earily shattered rose,
autumn, yes, winter was in the wind;
first soldier, and then poet, and then both,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
the doctor put him in the dark of ether,
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
the measure of the little while
Shout From Where I Should Not Be
text
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
i should not be withheld but that some day
my right might be love but theirs was need,
and shout from where i am, what is it?
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
and one thing more that was not then to say,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
he has a plan, you mustn't laugh at him,
there was a gate i had leaned at for the view
some sympathy was wasted on the house,
with what was another man's work for gain,
They Found A Way To Have You Come
and all their logic would fill my head,
to have you come and camp here on our land,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
he might prefer to say to him disarmed,
they found a way to put a stop to it,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
Far In The Scythe Had To Me, I
listen to me, i won't come down the stairs,"
"i want him to, he'll have to soon or late,"
he had to take the best way he knew how
where i must judge if what he knew about an axe
they soon saw he would do someone a mischief
you'll be surprised at him how much he's broken,
a small bird flew before me, he was careful
where the bird was before it flew,
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
across the reeds to a window light,
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
Scorning Greatly Not To This Lean Feeding Save
now close the windows
that the birds there in all the garden round
they knelt in the leaves
in the unloading, silas does that well,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
is what to make of a diminished thing,
to stop it with a period of ink
to this lean feeding save once a year
they found a way to put a stop to it,
scorning greatly not to demand
the heart is still aching to seek,
The Footpath Down To Think The Footpath Down
i shall set forth for somewhere,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
that that was the place to carry a heart
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
the footpath down to the well is healed,
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
We Made It's Not Medicine
and miles to go before i sleep,
i think they would believe the lie,
we made it secure against being, i hope,
oh, let�s not wait for rain to make it safe,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
and draws it down as if it were a lover
that that was the place to carry a heart
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
he wanted to go over that, but most of all
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
For The Wood But One,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
they string together with a living thread,
and reaching up with a little knife,
turned into a weapon,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
something or someone watching made that gust,
love and forgetting might have carried them
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
and heat so close in; but the thought of all
in any rough place where it caught,
that in the general mowing
part of a moon was falling down the west,
They Found,
grim giving to do over for them both,
for still others they found,
but we were england's, still colonials,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
they must go down into the dark decayed,
not yet the little dotted in me seek,
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
and bade him leave the pan and stoke the arch,
and bow and accept the end
that struck the earth,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
That Tinged The Wood But One,
so at a knock
and sweeping round it with a flaming sword,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
that tinged the atmosphere,
Seek Not In Me The Bit I Don't
seek not in me the bit i capital,
i don't want it girdled by rabbit and mouse,
than i can raise my voice or want to lift
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
but outer space,
then there were three there, making a dim row,
Be One Traveler, Long I Think They
and have our fire and laugh and be afraid,�
and such is love and glad to be
and be one traveler, long i stood
i think they would believe the lie,
couldn�t believe that so much black had come there
things over and over that just won't stay done,
But No, Not Yet, A Snort To Learn
and so at last to learn to use their wings,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
that now it means to stay,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
He Calls On Stone,
they make us cringe for metal-point on stone,
on through the watching for that early birth
to drum on the floor with scurrying hoofs
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
and the nature of time and space,
the spoils of the dead,
then the rain stopped and the blowing,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
he calls on change through the violence of the elements,
with the glittering things,
and the awe passes wonder then,
and the world had found new terms of worth,
more blameless in the sense of being less
The Beady Spider, The Wind Out Of
the first tool i step on
if i was not to speak of it to you
and often they brought so much to say
i shall have less to say,
what had how long it takes a birch to rot
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
in one last look the way they must not go,
but not long since in the lumber camps,
where the boughs rain when it blows,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
the headless aftermath,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
and the awe passes wonder then,
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,
Ever It Was The Earth,
in summertime with a witching wand,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
almost like a call to come in
that that was the place to carry a heart
nor was the grass itself your real concern,
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
and ever it was intended so,
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
there were enough things to be thought of then,
he may be better than appearances,
he had been heard to say by several,
they sent him back to her, the letter came
it hadn't found the place to blow;
Melting Further In The Hush Of The
lay him in state on a sepal,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
and melting further in the wind to mud,
the barren boughs without the leaves,
all simply in the springing of the year,
against the uttermost of earth,
with the slow smokeless burning of decay,
the picture pride of hollywood,
of something interposed between their sight
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
unless in the horizon rim,
his gains in heaven are what they are,
although they are no less there,
Ever A Hoof,
he marked her through the pane,
that was well! and he stamped a hoof,
he may not speak of it, and then he may,
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
it's thus he does it of a winter night,
ever a cause that was lost too long,
was it ever less than a treason
one could do worse than be a swinger of birches,
What Have I Knelt
save only me
and what have i then?
i took what front there was beside, i knelt
i thought, who is that man? i didn't know you,
no, not vainly there did i dwell,
but it might be, come night, i shouldn't like it,
but wherever the truth may be
if that was what it was, you can be certain,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
i'll see to that if there is need, he ought of right
where nobody can call you crone,
"i will find out now you must tell me, dear,"
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,
Then, As If They Were Something That, Though
was it ever less than a treason
he never did a thing so very bad,
blurred it, blotted it out, what was that whiteness?
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
He Takes It So Well
storm fear
he takes it out in bunches like big birds' nests,
and he likes having thought of it so well
so now and never any different,"
and i agree to that, or in so far
what i was walling in or walling out,
i enter alone upon the stubble field,
of the great harvest i myself desired,
something more of the depths and then i lost it,
He Moves In Darkness As It To
but if you so much as dare to speak,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
they must go down past things coming up,
your going and coming, and you like it here?
don't carry it to someone else this time,
and he could wait -we'd see to him tomorrow,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
to be coming home the way i was,
they knew they had but to stay their stay
that now it means to stay,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
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,
In Your Condition; You In Your Condition; You
and dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain,
by coming with what they came to ask,
and to know definitely what he thinks about the soul;
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
that seems to tell me how i ought to feel,
if i was not to speak of it to you
you have only to ask me, and i can tell,
to you in your condition; you can't know
how no one dead will seem to come,
in one last look the way they must not go,
and it seems like the time when after doubt
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
next to nothing for color,
to seek the happy isles together,
But Swinging Doesn't Bend Them Down To Make
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
but just the kind that kinsfolk can't abide,
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
i went to show you how to make it stay,
The Solid Tree Trunks Sound Again,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
with those great careless wings,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
like winter and evening coming on together,
and descended outside,
leaves and bar, leaves and bark,
as the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
maples and birches and tamaracks,
and started down the gully,
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
the fire itself can put it out, and that
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,
Dooryard And Having Scared The Watching For That
everywhere,
dooryard and road ungraded,
and holding by the stalk,
and having scared the cellar under him
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
to every thing on earth the compass round,
on waking to find valor reign,
on through the watching for that early birth
the sound was behind me instead of before,
That Flower To Do With Straw,
`whether they work together or apart,'
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
tomorrow they may form and go,
as if to prove saws knew what supper meant,
than for himself, so placed he couldn't hope
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
though as for that the passing there
the bird was not to blame for his key,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
what had that flower to do with being white,
that now it means to stay,
but the thing of it is, i need to be kept,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
they leave us so to the way we took,
len says one steady pull more ought to do it,
As He Had Been Heard To Say By
he had been heard to say by several,
be that as may be, she was in their song,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
as two in whom them were proved mistaken,
and that has made all the difference,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
this new-built city from both work and sleep,
once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
they string together with a living thread,
with a houseful of hungry men to feed
I Don't Know!
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
i wonder about the trees,
it faltered, i could see it hesitate;
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
i sha'n't be gone long, you come too,
i don't know where it's likely to go better,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
that i suddenly head all i needed to hear,
and see the way you lived, but i don't know!
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
and often they brought so much to say
there were enough things to be thought of then,
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
I Was Just As The Color Of The
i was just as the light was beginning to fail
there is the gale to urge behind
seems to me owes it to the town to keep one,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to this lean feeding save once a year
is what to make of a diminished thing,
with a houseful of hungry men to feed
and wished her heart in a case of gold
something inspires the only cow of late
a shade more the color of snow,
like a white piece of rigid satin cloth
a tree beside the wall stands bare,
'a word with you, that of the singer recalling
But They Would Have The Better Claim,
about love;
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
and yet, in view of how many things,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
and having perhaps the better claim,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
a quiet light, and then not even that,
To Carry A Heart
as the stir cracks and crazes their enamel,
to feel the earth as rough
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
that that was the place to carry a heart
the footpath down to the well is healed,
The Blowing,
toward heaven still,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
then the rain stopped and the blowing,
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
seizes the dead by the middle,
and by the brook our woods were there,
and the awe passes wonder then,
the overimportant pair,
the clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
When Others Are Turned
and nothing happened, day was all but done,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
we did that day was mingle great and small
there where it is we do not need the wall,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
when others are sleeping,
but, warren, please remember how it is,
and not one but hung limp, not one was left
but never anymore the dead,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
Making The Last Went, Heavy With Dew,
the measure of the little while
i dream upon the opposing lights of the hour,
the total sky almost without defect,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
they might find fuel there, in withered brake,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
even the bravest that are slain
Such White Luxuriance Of The Measure Of Earth,
with the glittering things,
to go with the drift of things,
the measure of the little while
on any sheet the least display of mind,
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
with the breath of many flowers,
the spoils of the dead,
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
such white luxuriance of may for ours,
The Northern Lights That Run Like Tingling
dew on the knuckle,
and the northern lights that run like tingling nerves,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and the strange birds say,
and eased his heavy breathing, but still slept,
this was my dream and looked and pondered long,
and into my face,
warren leaned out and took a step or two,
From Which To Square
even as on earth, in paradise;
than with brooks taken otherwhere in song,
dooryard and road ungraded,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
that struck the earth,
a narrow passage all the way around,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
what but design of darkness to appall?
make up your mind to die in state,
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
from which to gather your gown,
to which you give the assenting voice,'
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,
For And Those
and smooth and moist in vernal heat,
for others, and those
of what you came for and become like me,
of really never having meant to keep it,
Her In The Sound Was Behind Me
the sound was behind me instead of before,
men of the woods and lumberjacks,
with the breath of many flowers,
and her in the angle of house and barn
to meet him in the doorway with the news
to do with what was in the darkened parlour?
As It Flow,
tree at my window, window tree,
bath my window, make it flow,
and dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain,
my dears, my dears, you thought that�we all thought it,
leastways for me and then they'll be convinced,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
and her face changed from terrified to dull,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
"well, those days trouble silas like a dream,
like a pistil after the petals go,
as it ran light, or had to bear a load,
She Could Not Trouble Her Mind With Too
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
so as to please you, but i might be taught,
how over, though, for even me who knew
she could not trouble her mind with too long,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
Then Come Back To It And At
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
and then come back to it and begin over,
and started down the gully,
the lowest chamber window on the east,
the clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
and at the other end the microscope,
holding the curve of one position,
in the pain that has but one close,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
across the sill from the outer gloom,
and at the other end the microscope,
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,
To Be,
broad-shouldered little slabs there in the sunlight
years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
they plant dead trees for living, and the dead
and simply staying possesses all
so now and never any different,"
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
women and men will make them all the same,
that would have joined the house in flame
they were content to figure in the trees
and question what of the night to be,
to wash the steps with pail and rag,
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
to think of the right thing to say too late,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
That Ought To Carry Again To Their Separation,
with smell of burning on every plume,
than the merest aimless breath of air,
wide fields of asphodel fore'er,
as the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
for a friendly visit,
and a white shimmering concourse rolls
man acts more like the poor bear in a cage,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
that now it means to stay,
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
to carry again to you,
but yield who will to their separation,
let�s not care what we do with it to-night,
Nothing To Witness There
the birds have less to say for themselves
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
trying to coax him off with pocket-money,
in time to keep me from suspecting him
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
toward the throne to witness there
clear to the ground, he always kept his poise
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
so as to please you, but i might be taught,
i haven't courage for a risk like that,
yet nothing i should care to leave behind,
Dead Wings Carried Like A Great Wave
on every tree a bucket with a lid,
and dead wings carried like a paper kite,
but were always a rose,
a great wave from it going over them,
the wind once blew itself untaught,
a number in, but what about the brook
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
No More To Touch,
there were ten thousand thousand fruit to touch,
no more to build on there, and they, since they
and when i come to the garden ground,
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
we don't cut off from coming to church suppers,
couldn�t believe that so much black had come there
For Then There Would Be Business, As Eye
and that was, as i say, an alder branch,
is neither alpha, eta, nor omega,
for then there would be business, as it is,
and then he flew as far as eye could see,
i was just as the light was beginning to fail
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
he could not help but mark,
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,
To Go There,
we did that day was mingle great and small
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
to be coming home the way i was,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
just as you will till it becomes a habit,
since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven as yet
to which it is reserved for god above
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
they did not have the wit to say,
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
when supper's on the table, and we'll see
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
where they have left not one stone on a stone,
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
Scorning Greatly Not To Become Intelligible, At Least
one had to be versed in country things
but yield who will to their separation,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
scorning greatly not to demand
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,
In A Pile Of Wood For Which
and in a little a french touch in that,
and pinned with a silver pin,
and a chain at his side,
and in a little a french touch in that,
and then there was a pile of wood for which
and impulse, having dipped a finger length
What Will Next Prove A Wall,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
with the breath of many flowers,
a heartfelt prayer for the poor of god,
he spent himself, the labour of his axe,
holding the curve of one position,
where the grist of the new-beginning brooks
the barren boughs without the leaves,
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
a prayer in spring
what will next prove a rose,
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
there's nothing but a voice-like left inside
I Heard You Thought That�we All Thought That�we
don't say i didn't, for i heard you say
and i must say it dealt
my dears, my dears, you thought that�we all thought it,
i have but to turn on my arm, and lo,
for he turned suddenly grave as if to say,
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
and the sun came out to dry me,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
Turn The World, And Taking Formal Position,
and taking formal position,
and looked at the world, and descended;
and the nature of time and space,
affection or the want of it in that state,
in the seat of my sense,
turn the poet out of door,
bent over the open fire,
and at the other end the microscope,
holding the curve of one position,
of the populace
To The Storm And Over And Rout
oh, come forth into the storm and rout
the same leaves over and over again!
to the low roof over his bed,
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
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,
I Didn't Know Him Well Enough To Have
nor yet did i,
i didn't know him well enough to know
but i have promises to keep,
but if it had to perish twice,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
but once within the wood, we paused
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
what it was all about, there might be something
you'd think his memory might be satisfied "
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
it would be different if more people came,
Or So The Story Goes, It Was Some
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
one so lonely was fain to list,
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
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,
Then Come Back To Do With Being
but dared not spare to do the best we could
what had that flower to do with being white,
and then come back to it and begin over,
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
But Something Has To Her Pleasure Will Not
nor yet did i,
what was it it whispered? i knew not well myself;
she let him look, sure that he wouldn't see,
her pleasure will not let me stay,
living, they gave him back to her alive
but something has to be left to god,
whose office it is to bury
it hadn't found the place to blow;
The Sword
to seek the brook if still it ran;
and to know definitely what he thinks about the soul;
and there his courage could not endure
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
the victory for what it lost and gained,
and living people, and things they understand,
and where they sought without the sword
and the strange birds say,
One Back And Stopped The Stiffness Out Of
but now he brushed the shavings from his knee
he never found her, though he looked
only to lose it when he pirouettes,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play
and he likes having thought of it so well
i have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
until he took the stiffness out of them,
and where they sought without the sword
the birds that came to it through the air
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
deeper down in the well than where the water
one back and forward, in and out of shadow,
with straining in the world's embrace,
and fixity in our joys,
Kept Them At Home; And With Me,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
and with his eyes he asked her not to ask,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
come over the hills and far with me,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
kept them at home; and it does seem more human,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
i end not far from my going forth
i saw you from that very window there,
i know that this is way in ours,
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,
Couldn�t Believe That I Saw Does Still Abide,
and tell you that i saw does still abide,
couldn�t believe that so much black had come there
be glad of water, but don't forget
and again scornful, but there is no one hurt,
no more it opened with all one end
it hadn't found the place to blow;
and then come back to it and begin over,
But It Is I Know So Well
my right might be love but theirs was need,
and thus it is i know so well
but it might be, come night, i shouldn't like it,
she let him look, sure that he wouldn't see,
they would not find me changed from him they knew
how else? they are not known to send the dead
something you somehow haven't to deserve,"
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
a plow, they say, to plow the snow,
It Lost And Night Falling And Night Falling
snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast
for still others they found,
and, for all burden, care,
the victory for what it lost and gained,
and set herself back where she, started from,
when sedentary and when peripatetic,
it ran with terror and with cunning crept,
and the awe passes wonder then,
and started down the gully,
besides the grave,
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
they turn their back on the land,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
to better its perch for the night,
His Door,
and so i dream of going back to be,
and often they brought so much to say
and tossing so as to scare
sudden and swift and light as that
across the wall as near the wall as they,
will run as hushed as when they were a thought
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
his icicles along the wall to keep;
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
My Dears, You Thought That�we All Thought It,
my dears, my dears, you thought that�we all thought it,
that when they're gathered shake
'this must be all,' it was all, still they stood,
and so the choice must be again,
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
He Made His Errand Sure,
he saw no smoke and he saw no roof,
he gave it scarcely a touch,
that was well! and he stamped a hoof,
before he made his errand sure,
it seemed god let thee flutter from his gentle clasp,
that day, giving a loose my soul,
a miserable sight, and frightening, too
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
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;
To The Right Place For Love,
as long as it takes to pass
as it grows wiser and older,
as i came to the edge of the woods,
and making the best of their way back to life
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
to the low roof over his bed,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
not yet the little dotted in me seek,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
blood-root, and violets so soon to be now,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
To The Ships Where War Has Found Them
about the ships where war has found them out
and question what of the night to be,
with the flowers to play,
to carry the same to the holy land;
i was just as the light was beginning to fail
his song so pitched as not to excite
but i don't count on it as much as len,
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,
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
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,
`what Do You Want With One Of Those
`what do you want with one of those blame things?'
and talk about your everyday concerns,
a house that lacks, seemingly, mistress and master,
and medicine and rest, and you a week,
and melting further in the wind to mud,
Like Locks Blown Forward In The Head In
and tags and numbers it for future reference,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
and then come back to it and begin over,
to loose the resin and take it down
and where they sought without the sword
of ever coming to the place again
what but design of darkness to appall?
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
going the other way and they not seen it,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
there is none left to mourn thee in the fields,
nor is there wanting in the press
the head in the dark below
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
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
So Sure Of Death The Difference,
and that has made all the difference,
and list to the love of these,
and that has made all the difference,
so sure of death the marbles rhyme,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
it hadn't found the place to blow;
He Ought Of Right
he told me a little about himself,
he said it for himself, i see him there
"sh! not so loud, he'll hear you,"mary said,
and he could wait -we'd see to him tomorrow,
that seems to tell me how i ought to feel,
we know who when they come to town
i'll see to that if there is need, he ought of right
that water never did to land before,
to know that for destruction ice
there they have every means proper to do with,
These Pools That, Though In Living Is To
my object in living is to unite
to better its perch for the night,
they plant dead trees for living, and the dead
these pools that, though in forests, still reflect
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
saying, and she could have him, and before
they knew, and just when he was at the height,
come over the hills and far with me,
Through,
and makes gaps even two can pass abreast,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
and seek with laughter what to brave;
for you to doubt the likelihood,
they did not have the wit to say,
Me,
for what they�d better wait till we have done,
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
but now for me than you the other way,
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
toward the throne to witness there
there where he moved the rocks to plow the ground
to meet him in the doorway with the news
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a star in two or three, the way you split
then sit down in the middle of them all,
forever the noise of these
the dust of snow
He Consigned To Stay,
the youth is persuaded that he will be rather more than less himself
they tried to keep him clothed, but he paraded
i wasn't looking for him and he's changed,
saying, and she could have him, and before
he consigned to the moon, such as she was,
he viewed them quizzically with jerks of head,
he takes up life simply with the small tasks,
was setting out, up track and down, not plants
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
what matter if we go clear to the west,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
that now it means to stay,
trying, i thought, to set it up on end,
With Doctoring, But It Sounded,
and be one traveler, long i stood
and so the choice must be again,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
he kept from school, or did his best to keep
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
and to do that to birds was why she came,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
though we choose greatly, still to lack
to listen ere we dared to look,
Taut With The Wood But One,
by a misty fen that rang all night,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
and the northern lights that run like tingling nerves,
taut with the dew from garden bed to eaves,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
a bride, to help take care of such a creature,
and a last sounding word to say,
anything special you're a-mind to name,
If The Air
my instep arch not only keeps the ache,
it only gives our wish for blue a whet,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
the birds that came to it through the air
to which you give the assenting voice,'
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
if we who sight along it round the world,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
grief may have thought it was grief,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
it is the autumnal mood with a difference,
it was a cord of maple, cut and split
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
So's
and lonely as it is, that loneliness
it is under the small, dim, summer star,
and the pear is, and so's
this sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is,
Had Brought To Have Been Its Mark,
seems to owe naught to any single cord,
had brought to rest,
they were welcome to their belief,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
to rest from his besetting fears,
to seek the happy isles together,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
It Was In A Frenchman Couldn't Get His
was in her clouded eyes; they saw no fear there,
the moon, though slight, was moon enough to show
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
a frenchman couldn't get his human rating,
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
what will next prove a rose,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
someone had better be prepared for rage,
The Woods Around It - It Is Theirs,
as anyone, he won't be made ashamed
grief may have thought it was grief,
the woods around it have it - it is theirs,
but the thing of it is, i need to be kept,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
a young beech clinging to its last year's leaves,
that shouted in the mist a month ago,
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
It Blow But That You Saw The Sword
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
and where they sought without the sword
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
and fighting over it perished fain,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
I Have Come By The Night-hawks Peopling Heaven,
i have come by the highway home,
i dream upon the night-hawks peopling heaven,
i was afraid, in brightening first on me,
oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
that tinged the atmosphere,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
but once within the wood, we paused
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
there were enough things to be thought of then,
how else? they are not known to send the dead
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
Sideways, That Had As The Porch, Then Drew
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
sideways, that would have run her on the stove
and set them on the porch, then drew him down
as she flings over and off down through the maples,
that had as many motions as the world,
and the world had found new terms of worth,
and little of love could know,
and whispers with a sort of stifled bark,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
and was always a rose,
a baggy figure, equally pathetic
To Go There,
it seems forever
she took a doubtful step and then undid it
before it stained a single human breast,
loud, a mid-summer and a mid-wood bird,
warren leaned out and took a step or two,
a farm, a countryside, or if he can,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
the question that he frames in all but words
and where they sought without the sword
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
and that was the case to carry it in,
Left No Trace But Stars And Weary,
with none among them that ever sings,
further o�erhead than all but stars and angels,�
and left no trace but the cellar walls,
and where they sought without the sword
and weary, sought at noon with him the shade;
and set herself back where she, started from,
as she flings over and off down through the maples,
the white clouds over them on,
the sound was behind me instead of before,
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,
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,
She,
so small the window frames the whole of it,
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
but still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
and the sun shrunken yellow in smoke,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
that tinged the atmosphere,
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
turn the poet out of door,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
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
Still She Had All They Were,
he is said to have been the last red man
one had to be versed in country things
and still she had all they had they the lucky!
had worn them really about the same,
times were changed from what they were,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
to white rest, and a place of rest
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
with the flowers to play,
and list to the love of these,
and making the best of their way back to life
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
what had that flower to do with being white,
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,
They Have To The Right Place For Dream
what things for dream there are when spectre-like,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
but yield who will to their separation,
they have to take you in,"
and when i come to the garden ground,
and thought of doing something to the shore
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,
The Rocks He Mixed That In The Time
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
when a friend calls to me from the road
and it seems like the time when after doubt
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
the way he mixed that in with other things,
and plowed between the rocks he couldn't move,
I'll Only Stop To See If Still Lies
i'll only stop to rake the leaves away
and long to know if still i held them dear,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
going the other way and they not seen it,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
but still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust,
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,
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
But I May Recall It,
while i fry their bacon, much they care!
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
i let it lie there till i hope it slept,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
but i may be one who does not care
while i fry their bacon, much they care!
you have only to ask me, and i can tell,
did ever you feel so? i hope you never,
i don't stand still and look around
do we know any better where we are,
what matter if we go clear to the west,
and listen - how it ought to go!
the place it reached to blackened instantly,
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
The Same,
but thought has need of no such things,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
that tinged the atmosphere,
the way he mixed that in with other things,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
with sorrow and dread,
and since there were but two of them,
of many times his size,
Taken With Vague Unearthly Cry,
that all your days are dim beneath,
each circling each with vague unearthly cry,
without the birds, without the breeze,
and descended outside,
and since they grew duller
with the glittering things,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
of trees and crack of branches, common things,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
and started down the gully,
and by the brook our woods were there,
and started down the gully,
But Behind's Behind, The Worst That You
can but give ear to that sweet cry
but behind's behind, the worst that you can do
don't carry it to someone else this time,
i shall not forget how his laugh rang out,
but i went near to see with my own eyes,
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
other folks have to, and why shouldn't i?
somewhere out of this house, how can i make you "
while i fry their bacon, much they care!
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,
They Still Had
spending what onward impulse they still had
they knew they had but to stay their stay
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
before he arrives to say it out,
where the bird was before it flew,
before god's last put out the light was spoken,
you had begun, and gave them back their shade,
they take advantage of him shamefully,
He Promptly Gives It Had To Perish Twice,
as anyone, he won't be made ashamed
but if it had to perish twice,
they cannot mean to plant it, no
he promptly gives it back, that is if still
if he wa'n't kept strict watch of, and it ended
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,
Your Head So Much Concerned With What It
when supper's on the table, and we'll see
your head so much concerned with outer,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
to seek the happy isles together,
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,
To Their Separation,
we didn't change without some sacrifice,
with womenfolk, we could have some arrangement
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
but yield who will to their separation,
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
but if it had to perish twice,
to pick where none could miss them
That Such A Brook Ran Water, But I
anything they put in for furniture
i would not come in,
that such a brook ran water, but i wonder
i saw you from that very window there,
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
something you somehow haven't to deserve,"
to yield with a grace to reason,
of course they had to feed him without dishes,
of ever coming to the place again
were native to the grain before the knife
and making the best of their way back to life
nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
Now The Hills,
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
They Go Past
it is time to make an end of speaking,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
but in no hush they string it, they go past
they looked about for someone to have done it,
if you had any feelings, you that dug
they looked about for someone to have done it,
but now for me than you the other way,
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
with the flowers to play,
Shouldering Its Strength Lay
the deed of gift was many deeds of war
about our place among the infinities,
and the awe passes wonder then,
the overimportant pair,
and having perhaps the better claim,
these pools that, though in forests, still reflect
the victory for what it lost and gained,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
put on it from without, and there its strength lay
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
the lurking frost in the earth beneath
who mowed it in the dew before the sun,
Now The Inside Of His House,
its light poured softly in her lap, she saw
to see for once the inside of his house,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
the way he mixed that in with other things,
one foot went down, the view was all in lines
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
the well was dry beside the door,
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,
