Poems about kind
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
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,
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
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
I Pull A Ball
'tis pain's successor when the soul
that other kind was pain
and pain is missed in praise
then caught me like a ball
i pull a flower from the woods
somebody run to the great gate
that i may take that promise
i meant to tell her how i longed
for doubt, that i should know the sound
this way, i keep from missing
i sent it even now?
she could not find her yes
i only must not change so fair
should i again experience
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
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
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
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 Could Not See
despair
will not cry with joy "pompeii"!
a pope, or something of that kind!
but, what of that?
i could not see to see
no eye could find the place;
that split their route to the sky
and just before the sun
because he's sunrise and i see
i've known a heaven, like a tent
in such a place, what horror,
Since A Dying Eye
so when she comes this way,
then, darling, it will close
i sat me down to sigh,
i've seen a dying eye
i have a bird in spring
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
that other kind was pain
these are time's affair
discern d still withholden
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,
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,
You Wanted To Coax Him Off With Such
you wanted to restore them to their right
trying to coax him off with pocket-money,
anything special you're a-mind to name,
and for every kind there was a face,
and turned on him with such a daunting look,
Make We No Thesis Of Course There Must
and of course there must be something wrong
they are that that talks of going
the fen had every kind of bloom,
the only other sound's the sweep
such is the uncaged progress of the bear,
make we no thesis of the miller's plight,
holding the curve of one position,
The Singer Recalling
of things of moment to which, they wist,
'a word with you, that of the singer recalling
this is the word of your queen,"
the fen had every kind of bloom,
than the merest aimless breath of air,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
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 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,
However It Has To The Kindred Spider To
what help he is there's no depending on,
however it is in some other world
but i understand, it is not the stones,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
and when i come to the garden ground,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
with the new city street it has to wear
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?
To Break; Though Once They Seem Not Being
and on a day we meet to walk the line
to carry again to you,
from which to gather your gown,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
he is in doubt whether to admit real trouble to a place beside the
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
they were welcome to their belief,
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 Stand Simply Forth,
that calm seems certainly safe to last to-night,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
to yield with a grace to reason,
to this lean feeding save once a year
to loose the resin and take it down
that brought me to my feet to hold it back
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
to play with to-morrow,
to better its perch for the night,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
and he could wait -we'd see to him tomorrow,
that was what marrying father meant to her,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to all my length,
To Rebuke The Right Thing To It And
she rested on a log and tossed
the shattered water made a misty din,
a little through the lips and throat,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
and feel a spirit kindred to my own;
they found a way to put a stop to it,
a flower unplucked is but left to the falling,
water came to rebuke the too clear water,
and then come back to it and begin over,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
to seek the happy isles together,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
They Seemed To Hear Us Talk
i left you in the morning,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
and nothing to look backward to with pride,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
to wash the steps with pail and rag,
where someone used to climb and crawl
you come to fetch me from my work to-night
to hear us talk
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
they seemed to fail the bluebirds under them
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
to find that the utmost reward
and yet too ready to believe the most,
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,
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,
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,
Like A Beast's Stall, To That Height?
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
and a shout greets the daring one,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
but turns to pink between the teeth,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
through some delay, and call you to your face
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
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
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,
With Only Strength Of Dauntless Wings,
the more of right the more he loves;
and the nature of time and space,
for thought has a pair of dauntless wings,
with only strength of the fighting arm
the fen had every kind of bloom,
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
and work was little in the house,
the barn opposed across the way,
that struck the earth,
pointed the decimal off with one deep thrust,
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,
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,
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,
I Was Just As The Color Of The
i was just as the light was beginning to fail
there is the gale to urge behind
seems to me owes it to the town to keep one,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to this lean feeding save once a year
is what to make of a diminished thing,
with a houseful of hungry men to feed
and wished her heart in a case of gold
something inspires the only cow of late
a shade more the color of snow,
like a white piece of rigid satin cloth
a tree beside the wall stands bare,
'a word with you, that of the singer recalling
Scorning Greatly Not To Become Intelligible, At Least
one had to be versed in country things
but yield who will to their separation,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
scorning greatly not to demand
That The Kindred Spider To Her,
and presently on the scene
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
the boy you had in haying four years since,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
but that was in the woods, to hold my hand
yet saw but her within,
warren returned too soon, it seemed to her,
In The Unloading, Silas Does That Was, The
invisible at dawn,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
without the birds, without the breeze,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
in the unloading, silas does that well,
when that was, the soft mist
he must have given the hand, however it was,
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
but on the memory of one absent most,
the fen had every kind of bloom,
For Every Kind There Was A Flame
and a flame slender as the hepaticas,
and for every kind there was a face,
to see for once the inside of his house,
in the seat of my sense,
upon the full moon's side of the first haycock
