Poems about hope
So Midnight's Due At Noon,
through knowing where we only hope 
absent place an april day 
so midnight's due at noon,
in winter till the sun 
If You'll Just Tell Me
give little anguish 
that this way thou could'st notice me 
because i know it's true 
i'd give her 
that he'll mistake and ask for me
but solemnest to know
if you'll just tell me so 
it should not tease you 
i could not hope for mine 
i will of you 
i'm sure 'tis india all day 
if pride shall be in paradise 
what right have i to be a bride 
and i have ceased to wonder why 
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
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 
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 
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 
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 
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 
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 
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 
I Shall Never Tell!
i lived on dread; to those who know
show me them said i 
how could i of him?
i pray him too explore
i am not used to hope 
but i shall never tell!
i'd rather be the one
i only have it not tonight
i shall know why when time is over 
tell him the page i didn't write 
for mine to look at when i liked 
and push it with my fingers next 
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 
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 
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 
I'll Be Afraid
hurled my belief 
far off he sighs and therefore hopeless 
as hovering seen through fog 
too near to heaven to fear 
better of it continual be afraid 
belief but once can be 
be sure you count should i forget
i'll be contented so 
dreams are well but waking's better,
the pearl the just our thought,
and i choose, just a crown 
with "i am great and cannot wait
if such it prove, it prove too
as one does sickness over
as far as death this way 
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,
"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 
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 
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 
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 
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 
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 
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
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 
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 
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 
I Went
we dream it is good we are dreaming 
i could not hope for mine 
because i could not stop for death,
i could suffice for him, i knew 
for fear i hear her say
i pondered how the bliss would look 
and so around the words i went 
and there is another sunshine,
and a deal of sad reflection, and wailing instead of song?
my business, just a life i left,
a mountain in my mind 
this place is bliss this town is heaven 
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 
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
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 
A Tongue To Him The Crowd
and scant to him the crowd 
and golden hang while farther up 
to miss it beggars so 
i could die to know 
had i presumed to hope 
although i put away his life 
he could suffice for me 
or did it just begin?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
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;
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 
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,
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  
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  
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!
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
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
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,
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,
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,
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,
You Needn't Be Afraid He'll Leave You Needn't
waiting for warren, when she heard his step,
than for himself, so placed he couldn't hope
but i'll not have the fellow back,"he said,
�scare you, but if you shrink from being scared, 
you needn't be afraid he'll leave you this time,"
no more to tell? we turned to other things,
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,
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,
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,
I Trusted The Demon Arose From His Wallow
in hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano, 
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,
you take the lake, i look and look at it,
i trusted the brook barrier, but feared 
i thought a few might tangle, as they did,
will run as hushed as when they were a thought
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,
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,
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,
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,
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
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,
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,
