If He Were Opposite And Made As He

not to cry tim and i 
that i would instant dive 
i have a missing friend

how dare i, therefore, stint a faith

but how ourself, shall be
if certain, when this life was out,
this world is not conclusion,
this might have been the hand
and then as if the hands
I Could See
and failed to wake them up 
i could not prove the years had feet 
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 
i only know no curricle that rumble there
does not know they are 
nor can you tell me 
except that you than he
and every time i speak for him 
that did it tear all day,
that when i could not find it 
Condemned But Then I'm Not A Foot Nor
my face to justify 
my lip to testify 
condemned but just to see 
three times we parted breath and i 
like mine for not a foot nor hand 
but then i'm not so staid as he 
if what we could were what we would 
we learn to know the planks 
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 
Could Fear A Door,
that i could fear a door,
and could she, further, "no"?
ah, too, it has a wing,
as i, who testify it
and so and so had been to me,
unless they didn't come 
if it had no word,
turn on me when i fail or feign,
i shall not fear mistake 
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 
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?
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 
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 
A Doubt If It In The Eye
through their beloved blame 
but just to look it in the eye 
a doubt if it be us
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come 
You'll Know It Be Alive
you too take cobweb attitudes
just to follow your dear future 
if love reward the end 
it feels a shame to be alive 
a doubt if it be fair indeed 
you'll know it as you know 'tis noon 
i will of you 
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 
To Break For Peace Prepares
if pain for peace prepares
to break for you 
when they let go the ignominy smiling 
although i knew to take it 
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 
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 
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 
If It Serve You From A Dream
will not cry with joy "pompeii"!
"and i for truth themself are one 
and if it serve you for a house 
and let you from a dream 
when i could take it in my hand 
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 
Some Kiss It
the missing all prevented me
the distance would not haunt me so 
and every time i speak for him 
i should not fear the foe then 
i only must not change so fair
i know it, by the numb look
lie between them now,
some touch it, and some kiss it 
and put a flower on it 
to any happy flower,
heaven to us, if true,
and would delight to see 
anonymous delight to know 
she'd pass for barehead short way off 
perhaps i couldn't 
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
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 
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 
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 
It Knew The Meadows Now
truth is as old as god 
so like the meadows now 
the eager look on landscapes 
how well i knew the light before 
and when i looked again 
although i put away his life 
it knew no medicine 
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
This Death's Experiment
the dying need but little, dear, 
or is this death's experiment 
this was all 
contenteder if once 
no hunger had she nor an inn 
is gotten not of fingers 
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!
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 
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 
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
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 
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
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 
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?
"
Yet We Do Life's Labor
if he dissolve then there is nothing more 
sometimes not often in eternity 
therefore we do life's labor 
and yet we guessed it not 
but won't you wish you'd spared one
yet not too far to come at call 
so therefore let me in,"
fitter to see him, i may be
when act and will are done
Earth Would Have Lost, I Have Lost, I
the soul cannot be rid 
so when she comes this way,
i only must not grow so new
it seems as though the time
a landscape not so great
earth would have been too much i see 
how happy i was if i could forget
whom i have lost, i pious guard
i had not had but for yourself 
forever might be short, i thought to show 
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 
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 
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,
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
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 Me By Time The Hours Meek
so wondering thro' the hours meek
taught me by time the lower way 
just revelation to the beloved 
a thrust and then for life a chance 
is not a controvertible 
it varies in the chin 
put it in latin left of my school 
it takes me all the while to poise 
tell me how far the morning leaps 
when i forget to tease 
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 
There Is A Pain So Short Way Off
there is a pain so utter 
so short way off it seems 
across my mouth it blurs it 
my life just holds the trench 
he gave away his life 
it troubled me as once i was 
when once it has begun 
nor where it went, nor why it came
where others, dare not go at noon,
you could not spare you know,
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
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,
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 
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 
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,
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 
Nor Ever Turn To Tell Him It Is
nor ever turn to tell me why 
how many be
if to be "elder" mean most pain 
might i but be the jew 
i sent it even now?
to tell him it is noon, abroad 
her warm return, if so she chose 
so short way off it seems 
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 
My Need Was All I Choose, Just A
why make it doubt it hurts it so 
we cannot put ourself away
i had not strength to hold 
and i choose, just a crown 
it's all i have to bring to-day,
if i may have it, when it's dead,
my need was all i had i said 
when night is almost done 
only me was still 
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?
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,
I'd Not Pain
and therefore 'twas not pain 
since no one know his circumstance 
he did never say 
i'd not believe it if i heard
i have so much to do 
they called me to the window, for
the other, as a bird her nest,
it wandered from the same,
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 
Tell Him It Does
his merit all my fear 
it struck me every day 
thee then no me 
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
tell him it wasn't a practised writer 
it was dying then 
a beggar here and there 
the lingering and the stain i mean 
a doubt if it be fair indeed 
as dying say it does 
it will be ample time for me 
the lily waiting to be wed 
patient upon the steps until then 
death doubts it argues from the ground 
the bird would not arise 
You See Your Lifetime
toward the god of him 
upon the ignorance steals 
glee the great storm is over 
but the push of joy 
the thought to be alive 
they may not finally say, yes 
you see i cannot see your lifetime 
when we are going home 
yet i for it would pay 
will suit me just as well 
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 
A Bomb To Dream He Thought Or Different
thine eye impose on me 
nor to dream he and me 
was dying as he thought or different 
as fair as our idea 
some found it mutual gain 
a bomb to justify 
and they were the little hand that knocked 
day and i in competition ran 
i never felt at home below -
the only ghost i ever saw
More Life Went Out When He Went Out
and sense was setting numb 
the one who could repeat the summer day 
but what that place could be 
it troubled me as once i was 
more life went out when he went
and wondered what they did there 
time never did assuage 
me prove it now whoever doubt
or tell god how cross we are 
more hands to hold these are but two 
may be easier reached this way 
maybe, we shouldn't mind them 
so when 't was time to see,
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
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
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,
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
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
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 
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 
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 
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 
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
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
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 
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 
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 
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 
I Bear It Tasted Like Them All,
my scrutiny deceives,
and yet it tasted like them all,
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
i haven't quite the strength now
for i was once a child 
and so i bear it big about
if i could find it anywhere
but did not finish, some way back,
it doesn't state you how
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 
He Shifts The Stem A Year
without the weariness 
the lightning playeth all the while 
called to my full the crescent dropped 
put the thought in advance a year 
saying itself in new infection 
it seems a curious town 
he shifts the stem a little 
cross it, and overcome the bee 
she runs without the look of feet 
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 
Or If It Makes No Difference Abroad
a needless life, it seemed to me
it would be life 
it makes no difference abroad 
the wind didn't come from the orchard today 
though life's reward be done 
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
and would it feel as big 
i wonder how the rich may feel 
or if it dare to climb your dizzy knee 
then look for me, be sure you say 
i should have been too glad, i see 
but early, yet, for god 
it has no future but itself,
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,
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
Are Settled, And At Work
were challenging despair,
are settled, and at work 
mouldered this many may,
their coming, may be known
if as the days resume
For I Could Take
myself felt ill and odd 
so sailors say on yesterday 
be of me afraid,
as much of noon as i could take
her warm return, if so she chose 
for i had worn it, every day,
unwearied, all the summer long,
the wind didn't come from the orchard today 
and when the sung go down 
and shame went still 
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, 
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 
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 
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
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!
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
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 
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 
It Have Beyond Itself
the anguish and the loss 
exactly as the world 
it made the hurry plain 
if town it have beyond itself 
occur to her alone 
a little further reaches instead 
too out of sight though 
before were cities but between 
To Try
their mortal fate encourage some 
the hunger does not cease 
at least to pray is left is left 
awaited even him 
neither place need i present him 
to those who dare to try 
to him who strives severe
with him remain who unto me 
if he were living dare i ask 
i think i'd shoot the human race
how ignorant i had been
i met him 
when one turned smiling to the land 
because it was a child, you know 
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
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
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
He Was Dying Then
they summoned us to die 
she had begun to lie 
it was dying then 
but he was left alive because
if then he hear 
i'm glad they did believe it
won't you tell them to?
whom we can never learn 
i could not deem it late to hear
he longer must than i 
yet blesseder than we 
Did I Not Take It Serve You For
joy to have perished every step 
it burns distinct from all the row 
and if it serve you for a house 
did i not take it from the ways
and if it had not been so far 
for they've never gone 
the hills have a way then 
With Me,
in dying 'tis as if our souls
and come away with me,
the single to some lives,
with but a fraction of the life 
and overtaken in the dark 
themselves the verge of seas to be 
when ourselves were also dusty 
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 
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 
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
Dying! To Thee
dying! to be afraid of thee
wouldn't the angels try me 
would it stop whining if to thee 
if i should cease to take the names
Her On A Cloud
ourselves are conscious he exist 
bold were it enemy brief were it friend 
as harass us like life and death 
like let of snow 
and next i met her on a cloud 
her steady boat be seen 
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'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 
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 
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 
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
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 
Had Leaked,
but grappling, conquers it 
love reckons by itself alone 
a still volcano life 
since midnight happened say 
had been legible to me 
so safer guess with just my soul
might some one else so learned be,
and so when all the time had leaked,
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 
She Could Not Find Her No
remembering ourselves, we trust 
our lord thought no
i offered her no word 
still just as easy, if it be thy will
she could not find her yes 
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 
I Troubled Them
in lands i never saw they say
but were it told to me today 
just see if i troubled them 
i was used to the birds before 
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 
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 
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 
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,
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 
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 
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 
They'll Recollect How Cold I Knew No More
and he i pushed with sudden force 
i knew no more of want or cold 
and when the hills be full 
and when the sung go down 
these are the days when birds come back 
were he to tell extremely sorry
they'll recollect how cold i looked
they looked like frightened beads, i thought;
and now, i'm different from before,
Those Who Have Gone,
and they no more remember me 
than the rest have gone,
when it has just contained a life
those who have been in the grave the longest 
the high do seek the lowly, the great do seek the small,
you squander on the dead,
an hour, and gay on every tree
because it was a child, you know 
if i must tell you, of a horse
deliberate, as a duke would do
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 
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,
Life!
and mockery was still 
but he was left alive because
but, looking back the first so seems
that makes two him and life!
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,
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 
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,
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 
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,
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,
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 
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
Death We Do Not Sickness Then
we wondered at our blindness
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended 
it was not sickness then 
love is like life merely longer
and tell you all your dreams were true 
you taught me waiting with myself 
won't you wish you'd smiled just 
death we do not know 
you could not 
should you but fail at sea 
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 
They're Here, Though; Not A Further Use
patience of opposing forces 
peace by its battles told 
because the food exterminate 
and are today if we exist 
you did not state your price 
they're here, though; not a creature failed 
had not a further use 
For Arrogance Of Love
for arrogance of them 
justified through calvaries of love 
gave even as to all 
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 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!
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 
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 
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
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 
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,
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 
But Just The Little Bird Would Not Dissent
the little bird would not dissent
they put me in the closet 
but just the primer to a life
it is as if a hundred drums
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 
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 
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 
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 
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!
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
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
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 
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?
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 
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
'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 
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,
But Were It Told To Me And I
shadows hold their breath;
i dared not enter, lest a face
i reason, we could die 
i went to thank her 
all else accused me and i smiled 
so if i get lost there ever 
but were it told to me today 
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 
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 
Promise This When You Be
without attempt exhaustion 
belief but once can be 
the world stands solemner to me 
promise this when you be dying 
oh, could you catch her last refrain 
a thrust and then for life a chance 
so brave upon its little bed
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 
The Angel
shadows hold their breath;
behind the eyes of god,
to hold my life, and hold my ears
and leave me standing there,
the way ourself, must come 
and if i do when morning comes 
i meant to find her when i came 
i did not dare to eat or sleep 
i'll hand it to the angel 
i got so i could take his name 
if i believed god looked around,
you will not wake them up,"
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 
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 
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 
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 
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 
I Did Not Go
i fear me this circumference
i think a little well like mine 
i don't know him; snugly built!
and yet, it will not go 
and then does nothing 
i did not dare to eat or sleep 
and went to sleep 
and noon should burn 
and later when we die 
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
look if she should know
don't you know me?
or did it just begin?
when was it can you tell 
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,
Too Rescued Fear Too Rescued Fear Too Rescued
but our anticipation
the wind didn't come from the orchard today 
you guessed from the way the sentence toiled 
when they let go the ignominy smiling 
let me think i'm sure 
must tell!
too rescued fear too dim to me
her least attention raise on me 
i took my power in my hand 
a 'blossom just when i went in
if you should get there first
To Put Away
to justify despair,
did leap, full flanked, upon the host 
one need not be a chamber to be haunted,
a passage back or two to make 
final fast above 
make the blind leap 
is left to put away 
to stop and tell them where it is 
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,
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 
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 
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,
Should They Start For The Utterest Then
it spurn the grave 
the loneliness one dare not sound 
which anguish was the utterest then 
rejected be of her?
say sweet then
not for you to say
or other thing if other thing there be 
as if it were not born,
who till they died, did not alive become 
than the rest have gone,
should they start for the sky,
so soon to be a child no more 
oh, dear, i guess if he were a boy 
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 
When One Has Failed To Put My Piece
death, but our rapt attention
the worm doth woo the mortal, death claims a living bride,
a fear will urge it where
when one has failed to stop them 
the loss had been to me
if joy to put my piece away
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 
If It Tried To Be A House
but the ones who overcame most times 
when they together victory make 
and if it serve you for a house 
it tried to be a rose 
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
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
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 
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 
Tell Which It's Dull To Do Have
without attempt exhaustion 
over this pain of mine 
to put this world down, like a bundle 
came once a world did you?
tell which it's dull to guess 
i'll bear it better now 
i could not see to see,
but we might learn to like the heaven,
no more to do have i
and they can put it with my dolls,
if i could see you in a year,
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 
How Many Times It Is Put Away
of his profound to come 
though life's reward be done 
dreams are well but waking's better,
no nearer neighbor have they 
when the latter is put away
it is the ultimate of talk 
to stop and tell them where it is 
you will not wake them up,"
the world, will have its own to do 
you almost feel the date 
i know the whole obscures the part 
the pearl the just our thought,
the difference made me bold 
how many times it ache for me today confess 
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 
'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 
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
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
So Far Behind
ne'er so far behind 
i too if he 
just once more 
we occupy degree 
others extinguish easier 
so i write poets all 
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 
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 
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 
The Other Will Absorb
and pain is missed in praise 
but the success was his it seems 
he never saw me in this life 
it was dark before 
before the fire's eyes 
upon his breast, a closing soul
the gulf between the hand and her
the one the other will absorb 
their ribbons just beyond the eye 
he cared as much as on the air
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 
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
I Could Bring You Jewels Had I Could
how many legions overcome 
why heaven did not break away 
but if the lady come
when i go out of time 
me stop to prove it now 
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to 
i got so i could take his name 
and though i may not guess the kind
we don't cry tim and i,
i feared the sea too much
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,
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
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
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 
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?
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 
Just Revelation To Be Alive And Will!
justified through calvaries of love 
just revelation to the beloved 
to my quick ear the leaves conferred 
the lightning never asked an eye
it's like the light, 
as by the dead we love to sit,
to be alive and will!
did i not take it from the ways
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 
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 
Too Rescued Fear Too Rescued Fear Too Dim
too rescued fear too dim to me
we wonder it was not ourselves
and could be mighty, if i liked 
but should the play
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
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 
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 
So, I Should Insufficient Prove
nor how ourselves be justified 
lest i should insufficient prove
so, i could buy it 
but never i mind the bridges,
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
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 
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 
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 
When He Went Out When He Went
but state with creeping blood 
and therefore 'twas not pain 
and thought of them so fair invites 
but we are dying in drama 
and people come 
to those who failing new 
must seek the neighboring life!
his own would fall so more
more life went out when he went
when one has given up one's life
but only knew by looking back 
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 
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 
Whose Dying Eyes, No Child,
impatient of no child,
whose dying eyes, no country
will equal glow, and thought no more
for treason not of his, but life's,
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 
Then I Was
two armies, love and certainty
the birds and i, had often shared
then i remember not,
and he would come again 
it troubled me as once i was 
but if he ask where you are hid
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 
After A Diadem And Mend My Fear
for pang of jealousy 
too out of sight though 
as wrecked men deem they sight the land 
his merit all my fear 
was he afraid or tranquil 
after a life a death we'll say 
make a diadem and mend my old one 
might i but be the jew 
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
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
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,
So Easy To See Us But They
the soul condemned to be 
so easy to the sky 
but just anew to die 
forever might be short, i thought to show 
still just as easy, if it be thy will
and so and so had been to me,
so not to see us but they say
and made as he would eat me up -
how small in those who live 
not in this world to see his face
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 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 
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 
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
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 
While It And Comes But One Air
he never saw me in this life 
and when i looked again 
while it and i lap one air
death is but one and comes but once
the quiet ages picked it up 
though it took all my store
not till the last was answered
were going i had often thought
it cannot be again 
so say if queen it be 
to cheat herself, it seemed she tried 
but only to himself is known
is but a symbol of the place 
the lady with the amulet will face 
and let the fire through 
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,
You Do The Sun
of our immortal mind 
or tell god how cross we are 
all this and more i cannot tell 
or did it just begin?
as you do the sun 
if i should cease to take the names
to take a backward look,
i mention it to you,
write me how many notes there be
you love me you are sure 
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come 
Too Imminent The Frost Upon The Chance
too imminent the chance 
then skip the frost upon the lea 
is worthless to the bee 
life just or death 
truth is as old as god 
the test of love is death 
doom it beyond the rest 
where i put it down 
since i could never find her
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
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 
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,
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
Yet Small She Sighs If All
and people come 
yet small she sighs if all is all 
when one turned smiling to the land 
as even while i looked dissolved 
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!
Our Share Of The Earth
trust the loving promise
afraid to trust the morn
the earth lays back these tired lives
to make me fairest of the earth 
put the thought in advance a year 
our share of night to bear 
a thrust and then for life a chance 
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 
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,
Is As The Just Our Thought,
the soul has moments of escape 
as the stars you knew last night 
is as it had not been 
i have a king, who does not speak 
and then, as if the hands
the pearl the just our thought,
first at the vat and latest at the vine 
He Were A Boy
it ceased to hurt me, though so slow
and i'm accustomed to him grown, 
oh, dear, i guess if he were a boy 
he hurts a little, though,
except it quiet bring
though you're very far 
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
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've Met The Blood
lest anybody spy the blood
could i do aught else to thee?
if he were living dare i ask 
i've met the thing before;
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 
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 
I Thought
to fight aloud, is very brave 
we miss her, not because we see 
i wondered which would miss me, least,
they looked like frightened beads, i thought
who never lost, are unprepared
in lands i never saw they say
as much of noon as i could take
the dying need but little, dear, 
nor ever turn to tell me why 
i could not die with you 
because i know it's true 
not if to talk with me
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
Who Till They Sight The Land
oh, could you catch her last refrain 
some know him whom we knew 
then how the grief got sleepy some 
this put away
i've known her from an ample nation 
but just for one to stipulate 
he comes just so far toward the town 
as wrecked men deem they sight the land 
if town it have beyond itself 
and he would come again 
who till they died, did not alive become 
i too if he 
i offered being for it 
it was not sickness then 
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 
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!
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
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;
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 
Although I Put Away His Life Closed Twice
although i put away his life 
my life closed twice before its close 
delayed till she had ceased to know 
to look at her how slowly
so when 'twas time to see 
how sweet i shall not lack in vain 
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,
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,
Embarrassment Of Life Is Past
embarrassment of one another
on here and there a creature 
when choice of life is past 
and finished knowing then 
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 
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 
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 
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 
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 
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 
Just So Sick To Guess
oh lover life could not convince 
because it's sunday all the time 
just so far goes away 
so sick to guess 
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 
I'd Give I'd Give I'd Give My Life
it might be famine all around 
i'd give i'd give my life of course 
because it's sunday all the time 
the hills have a way then 
more mountains then a sea 
though in another tree 
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
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 
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
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 
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 
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 
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!
I Would Be A Bliss
were to them now, homesickness
and were you lost, i would be 
but this, must be a different wealth 
i think to live may be a bliss
nor to dream he and me 
and how if he be dead 
for evidence it be the grace 
just granted, for the peril's sake 
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 
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; 
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
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 
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 
A Clover, Any Time, To Stay As If,
death leaves us homesick, who behind,
you squander on the dead,
and nobody knows, so still it flows,
there's only one recorded,
but how he set, i know not,
a clover, any time, to him
to stay as if, or go,
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!
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?
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!
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,
The Soul Is In Pain
but when the soul is in pain  
but  the instead  the pinching fear
without the fear  to justify  
and the children  no further question  
so this sort  are not given  
as can no other mouth
as if it held but the might of a child  
a good news should be given,
but could not make it feel,
i would not paint  a picture  
i do not need a light  
just  see  if i troubled them  
i'm saying every day
i kept it in my hand  
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
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
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,
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
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,
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,
Then Steered The Right To View The Night,
then steered the white moth thither in the night?
and the moth carried like a paper kite,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all 
one back and forward, in and out of shadow,
to find fused in another star,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
to better its perch for the night,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
before i came to view the levelled scene,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges 
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
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,
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,
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,
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,
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,
Still,
he asked with the eyes more than the lips
saying, and she could have him, and before
it ran with terror and with cunning crept,
mine with inner, weather,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
and fit the earth like a leather glove,
and acquire a listening air,
give the buried flower a dream;
for a few swift gleams of the angry brand,
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
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?
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
The Upper Boulders In The Sureness Of Rest,
and spills the upper boulders in the sun;
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
to white rest, and a place of rest
all simply in the springing of the year,
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
something, perhaps, about the lack of sound 
and the fragile bluets clustered there
the darkest evening of the year,
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,
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,
They Soon Saw He Would Do Someone A
he has a plan, you mustn't laugh at him,
if overjoyed he was at having got me
they soon saw he would do someone a mischief
i can remember when he was a pup,
but i was well
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!
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,
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,
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
Across The Flowers Beside Them, Chill And Shiver,
and dreaming, as it were, held brotherly speech
bearing it crushed and mystified,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
drawing the slow waves whiter and whiter and whiter,
across the lines of straighter darker trees,
the doctor put him in the dark of ether,
turn the poet out of door,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
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,
Reaching Up With A Way,
it was no dream of the gift of idle hours,
of my regret hung not on all the land,
because his violence took on the form
and let the other go on a way,
and for every kind there was a face,
and reaching up with a little knife,
had wound strings round and round it like a bundle,
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?
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,
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,
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,
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,
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
Do We Cannot Look The Way They Cannot
or did you say 
as if to ask, 'why don't you make some motion?
"you don't know how to ask it,"
do we know any better where we are,
and try if we cannot feel forsaken,
in one last look the way they must not go,
they cannot look out far,
the way it is will do for moss,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
i doubt if you're as living as you look,"
"i will find out now   you must tell me, dear,"
i can see how you might, but i don't know!
i might not have the chance i missed in life
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 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,
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,
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,
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,
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,
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,
So Close The Indwelling Spider Ran To See
then took it from me   and i let him take it,
to put a tree between us when he lighted,
there we bowed us in the burning,
something more of the depths and then i lost it,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
but whenever the roof camme white
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
the indwelling spider ran to greet the fly,
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,
"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,
The Trees Must, Let Them Silently Toss;
if the trees must, let them silently toss;
the water for which we may have to look
and bring it to market when you please
and listen - how it ought to go!
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awake
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
but it were vain to tell her so,
if i was not to speak of it to you
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
you make me angry, i'll come down to you,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
but i may be one who does not care
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
their characters, or whether they are safe
I'm Going Out To You And Thing Next
i'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
i'd like to go by climbing a birch tree,
change like this to a deeper roar?
to tell them "supper,"at the word, the saw,
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
and thing next most diffuse to cloud,
I Like It,
i hear him begin far enough away
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
they you wouldn't have looked on it as just a matter
but it might be, come night, i shouldn't like it,
so low for long, they never right themselves,
had worn them really about the same,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars, 
bearing it crushed and mystified,
`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,
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,
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,
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 
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,
First Soldier, And Then Poet, And Then Poet,
first soldier, and then poet, and then both,
for heaven and the future's sakes,
and tenderly, life's little dream,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
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
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
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
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,
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
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,
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,
Across The Least Knot, Equal To The Least
as witness all within
and tags and numbers it for future reference,
only, of course, they can't sustain the part,
which has its sounds, familiar, like the roar
the faded earth, the heavy sky,
the total sky almost without defect,
free from the least knot, equal to the strain
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
the light of heaven falls whole and white
across the lines of straighter darker trees,
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,
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,
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
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 
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,
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
Before The Angle Of Something Interposed Between Their
a weapon in our human fight,' he said,
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
he calls on change through the violence of the elements,
of something interposed between their sight
and whispers with a sort of stifled bark,
before the coming of the snow,
and her in the angle of house and barn
then sit down in the middle of them all,
out through the fields and the woods
and knock to the echoes as beggars for roses,
next to nothing for use,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
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,
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, 
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,
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,
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
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,
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,
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,
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,
Than I Could Do Like You,
i leaned on my head
than i can raise my voice or want to lift
i saved myself from going,
i almost think if i could do like you,
i doubted if i should ever come back,
word i had no one left but god,
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,
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,
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,
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,
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
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,
Telegraph,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
and where they sought without the sword
and making the best of their way back to life
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
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
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,
He Shifted,
needlessly soon he had his axe-helves out,
once in the stove, disturbed him and he shifted,
he lay and puffed his lips out with his breath,
she, in her place, refused him any help,
in all the country he did command
Where The Cellar Walls,
and left no trace but the cellar walls,
some sympathy was wasted on the house,
summer was past and the day was past,
where the flower was before it grew,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all 
and taken with it all the hyla breed
rouse them all, both the free and not so free 
with doctoring, but it's not medicine 
but i understand, it is not the stones,
Signifies The Soul,
preventing shadow until the moon prevail;
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
with the glittering things,
and the fragile bluets clustered there
The Least Stiffening Of Bending Like A Daunting
reflects a standing gull
but in a moment not, a little spurt 
on every tree a bucket with a lid,
and turned on him with such a daunting look,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
the light of heaven falls whole and white
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
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,
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,
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,
Where They Sought Without The Interstellar Gloom
in winter he comes back to us, i'm done,"
for them there was really nothing sad,
where the flower was before it grew,
thought cleaves the interstellar gloom
has dried the dew and all its ropes relent,
and where they sought without the sword
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs
with shouts afar to pull the cable taught,
nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
to view once more the sacrifice
to whoever the knock
he might prefer to say to him disarmed,
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,
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,
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,
One Of The Cones Under His Pines,
and one of them put me off my aim
and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him,
she loves the bare, the withered tree;
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
the swarm dilating round the perfect trees,
all winter, cut off by a hill from the house,
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
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,
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,
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,
Care May Have Excuse To Stay,
care may have thought it was care,
but if it had to perish twice,
not loth to have excuse to go,
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
with all i have to hold with hand and mind
and long to know if still i held them dear,
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
so dawn goes down to day,
she likes to halt us in our runner tracks,
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,
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,
Far Off The Middle,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
like the elves in the wood?
something down there to smile at in the dust,
but from sheer morning gladness at the brim,
and a chain at his side,
part of a moon was falling down the west,
and the nature of time and space,
the picture pride of hollywood,
the deed of gift was many deeds of war
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
and have stopped dying now forever,
and still the bird revisited her young,
The Sun And Moon Get Crossed, But Not
with night so near, but not much further up,
magnified apples appear and disappear,
had made them certain earth returned their love,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
not far, but near, i stood and saw it all
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,
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,
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,
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
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,
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,
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,
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,
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,
The Brook If Still It Ran;
soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
to seek the brook if still it ran;
to carry again to you,
we speak the literal to inspire
they leave us so to the way we took,
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
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,
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,
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,
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,
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,
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,
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, 
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,
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
Nothing To Leave It To, Whether The
and cut a flower beside a ground bird's nest
my breathing shakes the bluet like a breeze,
when leaning with my head again a flower
and my head sways to my shoulder
dimly to have made out my secret place,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
to take him in, and might be willing to 
next to nothing for weight,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
to satisfy a lifelong curiosity
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
and nothing to look backward to with pride,
ever to grind to soil for grass,
with shouts afar to pull the cable taught,
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,
