Poems about heart
Of Waking Life, To Him Whose Heart Must
of waking life, to him whose heart must be,
was love, the blind, near sober duty known?
i have been happy, tho' in a dream,
so like its own above that, to this hour,
Tell Me
what day be dark to me
tell me how far the morning leaps
this heart that broke so long
and what itself, will say to me
When Upon A Year,
when upon a pain titanic
if i could see you in a year,
came out to look at me,
for it would split his heart, to know it
Then The Bride, And Prance Again,
conviction might, of me
contented, known, before
will peep, and prance again,
the bride, and then the bridegroom, the two, and then the one,
and so the night became,
and then i started too,
and i had put away
the heart i carried in my own
i'll seek his royal feet
and then it's time to strike my tent
so i let him lead me home,
Though But Our Delight
they ask but our delight
heart, we will forget him,
though but for the cricket just,
and then an awful leisure was
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
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
Then It Would Split His Heart, To
they summoned us to die
to elude me so!
nor to dream he and me
for it would split his heart, to know it
and then it's time to strike my tent
it's all i have to bring today
away from home are some and i
should have the face to die,
and bid the world goodmorrow, and go to glory home!
and then abroad the world he go
they leave us with the infinite,
in dreams i see them rise,
yet not too far to come at call
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Superposition Helps, As Mine
my constant reverential face
between my finite eyes
to know if any human eyes were near
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
you are sure there's such a person
who'd be the fool to stay?
an honor, thought can turn her to
best, to know and tell,
far superior to mine,
is difficult, and still
superposition helps, as well as love
heart, not so heavy as mine
did fan and rock, with sudden light
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
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,
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
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
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 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,
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
As Yet My Heart's Ease
nor will i, the little heart's ease
as yet my heart be dry
perhaps a home too high
had it for me a morn
tell him it wasn't a practised writer
be of me afraid,
it was not death, for i stood up,
have i the art to say,
should be the art to save
is enough for me
it might be easier
Were But Mine The Right Between
need you unto him
or else forgive not me
contenteth me
oh poor and far
it's thoughts and just two heart
too narrow is the right between
as we went out and in
and then it's time to strike my tent
were but mine the charter of the least fly
out of sound out of sight
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
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,
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,
Or If It Be Dry
shook my strong trust
as yet my heart be dry
morning means just risk to the lover
or if it be before
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 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
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
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
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
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
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!
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
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,
Still My Heart My Heart My Eye
and still my heart my eye outweighs
meet us with a smile
but please take a little girl
if i'm lost now
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
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
But It's Many A Boundless Place To
we grow accustomed to the dark
my faith is larger than the hills
but it's many a lay of the dim burgundy
on so best a heart
it was a boundless place to me
to leave me in the atom's tomb
in dying 'tis as if our souls
are nothing to the bee
as one should pry the walls
How Dreary To Forget!
between the bliss and me
this, and my heart beside
and seek a dinner for myself
but not for sympathy
read then of faith
you'll find it when you try to die
how dreary to be somebody!
knows how to forget!
if you should get there first
Had I Leaned Upon The Stars Some Summer
i leaned upon the awe
had i the jewel got
nor will i, the little heart's ease
where you had put me down
because the winds would find it out
as if the stars some summer night
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,
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,
Know No More
and trouble me no more
when it begun or if there were
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
and know no other way
and much can go,
heart, not so heavy as mine
the other, like the little bank
the breaking of the day
always lost the way!
i ever had, but one;
but how ourself, shall be
but swear, and i will let you by,
The Sign,
the racket shamed me so
but just to look it in the eye
cool of eye, and critical of work
was like the other days
as yet my heart be dry
so miserable a sound at first
the dying but a syllable
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
provided it do hopeless hang
i too received the sign,
it was not sickness then
and i have ceased to wonder why
since i could never find her
Occur To Die
you taught me fortitude of fate
occur to her alone
it's thoughts and just one heart
as my thought today
would but some god inform him
you'll find it when you try to die
so glad we are a stranger'd deem
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
he touched me, so i live to know
i asked the east,
and i, no other prayer,
and then, to go to sleep;
and when the sung go down
promise this when you be dying
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
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,
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
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
The Furthest Off
in moment of prosperity
and let you from a dream
the quiet ages picked it up
and then i go the furthest off
all days, i did not earn the same
nor will i, the little heart's ease
and heaven not enough for me
the wisdom it be so
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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!
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,
She's Desire,
the white clouds over them on,
toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
a shade more the color of snow,
the more of right the more he loves;
the me-nail click and shuffle of his feet,
and stood the axe there on its horse's hoof,
she bellows on a knoll against the sky,
lay him in state on a sepal,
in summertime with a witching wand,
she's making her cross-country in the fall,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
of easy wind and downy flake,
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
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,
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,
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
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,
A Child At Heart
doing a man's work, though a child at heart
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
and ever it was intended so,
by measure, it was word and note,
nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
in summertime with a witching wand,
a temple of the heat,
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
with only strength of the fighting arm
before the age of the fern;
the disappearing last of him
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?
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,
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,
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 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,
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,
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,
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 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
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,
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,
`as All Must Be,' I Have To Be
`as all must be,' i said within my heart,
a tree's leaves may be ever so good,
he may be better than appearances,
i have to be gone for a season or so,
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,
Sits In Tune,
run the rattling pages o'er;
and sits in sirius' disc all night,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
in summertime with a witching wand,
the heart he wore in a golden chain
hung over her in tune,
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
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
Hearts Not Averse To Have Made Out My
to win her for the flight
he wanted to take my job for pay,
dimly to have made out my secret place,
to express how much it didn't want to die,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
he may not speak of it, and then he may,
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
to the low roof over his bed,
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
the planets seem to interfere in their curves -
rather than send their folks to such a place,
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,
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
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
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;
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,
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,
To Raise Herself And Look Again, He Had
no matter the heart he has in charge
there he had built his stolen shack,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
to raise herself and look again, he spoke
before he arrives to say it out,
half in appeal, but half as if to keep
hard if, though cast away for life with yankees,
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,
A Pathless Wood
and followed it crying 'heart or death!'
'tis only to sit back and sway his head
his icicles along the wall to keep;
to white rest, and a place of rest
love and a question
and life is too much like a pathless wood
a narrow passage all the way around,
and thought of doing something to the shore
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
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;
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,
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,
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
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,
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
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,
On Noiseless Wing A Case Of Snow,
on noiseless wing a 'wildered butterfly,
and set them on the porch, then drew him down
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
and wished her heart in a case of gold
a leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared
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,
He's Come To Help You Ditch The
to express how much it didn't want to die,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
and making the best of their way back to life
to white rest, and a place of rest
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
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,
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,
