Poems about king
Of Waking Life, To Him Whose Heart Must
of waking life, to him whose heart must be,
was love, the blind, near sober duty known?
i have been happy, tho' in a dream,
so like its own above that, to this hour,
He Waking Finds The Face Before!
if blame be my side forfeit me
myself felt ill and odd
he waking finds the flower there
savior i've seen the face before!
If 'twas A Little "minor"
of shrinking ways she did not fright
is enough for me
if 'twas a dream made solid just
but i can say a little "minor"
To Show The Way
through the strait pass of suffering
to show the sun the way
came out to look at me,
but, looking back the first so seems
How Goblin It Would Be A King
forgive me, if to stroke thy frost
that could not stop to be a king
how goblin it would be
is all that's left them, now
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
The Drop Of Anguish
i shall forget the drop of anguish
to one who never felt it blaze
because he knows and
that as myself could pity him
to every creature that i met
you would not know it from the drifts
the heaven you know to understand
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
when night is almost done
and let you from a dream
it tried to be a rose
and see the people going by
and know no other way
dreams are well but waking's better,
and then it doesn't stay
Other Force May Be
and we behold no more,
and so i deck, a little,
the wind does working like a hand,
they're here, though; not a creature failed
but what that place could be
other force may be presumed to move
Should I Think Just How My Shape Will
stealthy cocoon, why hide you so
i think just how my shape will rise
should i again experience
say "when tomorrow comes this way
but, looking back the first so seems
they tell it to the hills
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?
That Can Be A Fear Will Urge It
patience is the smile's exertion
where is the blush
the parlor commonly it is
it's somewhat in the cold
no notice gave she, but a change
and yet we guessed it not
that could not stop to be a king
a fear will urge it where
how foreign that can be
have any like myself
write me how many notes there be
but tell him that it ceased to feel
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,
To The Souls That Last Onset When Night
we who have the souls
the first day's night had come
for that last onset when the king
to the souls that snow
to tell the pretty secret
tell me how far the morning leaps
one came the road that i came
as far as it could see
include us as they go
or what the distant say
you'll know it by the row of stars
the parlor of the day!
but just to look it in the eye
that i cannot say
when night is almost done
I Fear That Never Wrote To Me
and tell him charge thee speak it plain
how sweet i shall not lack in vain
they may not finally say, yes
i'm glad they did believe it
that never wrote to me
i have another trust"
i learned at least what home could be
i need no further argue
for thinking while i die
i fear that he is grand
Three Times We Parted Breath And I Looked
nor to dream he and me
of meeting them afraid
thinking perhaps that i looked tired or alone
three times we parted breath and i
when skill entreated it the last
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
alas, that wisdom is so large
Who Knows But We'd Reach The Lips That
neither witnessed rise
of shrinking ways she did not fright
the lips that never lie
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
i'll do thy will
i mention it to you,
It Be Too Proud For Pride
confronting eyes long comforted
he waking finds the flower there
meek let it be too proud for pride
it must mean that i'm sure
When That We Lost
the curiosity
our little garden that we lost
but only knew by looking back
i'd rather be the one
it seemed the common way,
when that which is and that which was
half glad when it is night, and sleep,
That Could Make A Rose
but the least push of joy
he sometimes holds upon the fence
that could not stop to be a king
if god could make a visit
the things that death will buy
not if to talk with me
i hear him ask the servant
if i could bribe them by a rose
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
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,
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
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
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
From Him And Holy Ghost And Holy Ghost
from him and holy ghost and all
then turning from them reverent
how he stretched his anguish to us
who something lost, the seeking for
I'd Do Not Fright
of shrinking ways she did not fright
because he knows and
who till they died, did not alive become
i had not strength to hold
when i could take it in my hand
won't you tell them to?
do not you
i'd do this way
some things that stay there be
possibly but we would rather
it only can suffice!
whom we can never learn
who, vital only to our thought
time feels so vast that were it not
"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
But Just Held Two, Nor Those It Was
afraid to trust the morn
to answer wherefore when he pass
it was announced to me
it just held two, nor those it held
as it has usual done
but just to look it in the eye
on the heads that started with us
but, looking back the first so seems
i keep it, staying at home
midnight good night! i hear them call,
though thine attention stop not on me
As We Who Danger And The Dead Had
who danger and the dead had faced,
and when i looked again
the only shows i see
he found my being set it up
i never thought to see
i thought how yellow it would look
so short way off it seems
as we who never can
while he was making one
i never put it down
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
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
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
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,
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
Life!
and mockery was still
but he was left alive because
but, looking back the first so seems
that makes two him and life!
A Night There Was A Winter Once
i pondered how the bliss would look
nature is what we know
because there was a winter once
my first well day since many ill
he waking finds the flower there
a night there lay the days between
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
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
Thinking Perhaps That Soundest Time
had gone to sleep that soundest time
because he's sunrise and i see
so safer guess with just my soul
thinking perhaps that i looked tired or alone
without debate or pause
between the bliss and me
the thought to be alive
is the most we can
It Seemed The Lonely Road,
and dwell a little everywhere
a stranger pressed a kingdom,
upon the lonely road,
light laughs the breeze in her castle of sunshine;
a wind with fingers goes,
since heaven and he are one,
oh the earth was made for lovers, for damsel, and hopeless swain,
what more the woman can,
death is but one and comes but once
it seemed the common way,
why, look out for the little brook in march,
all things do go a courting, in earth, or sea, or air,
myself and it, in majesty
and all day long, with dance and game,
without that forcing, in my breath
But The Next
as misery
who misery sustain
forever of his fate to taste
be so ashamed of thee
no summer could for them
for their sake not for ours
but then i'm not so staid as he
when peace was far away
i had been hungry, all the years
but only knew by looking back
i knew not but the next
"heaven" is what i cannot reach!
we don't cry tim and i,
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!
The World
and overtaken in the dark
the light his action, and the dark
this is my letter to the world
it takes me all the while to poise
it only moved as do the suns
the fact of famine could not be
of shrinking ways she did not fright
"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"
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
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
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
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
Doubt That Took Its Cambric Way
and therefore 'twas not pain
and doubt that you are mine
is all that's left them, now
should they start for the sky,
and still it hurt you, as some bird
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
that took its cambric way
that sense was breaking through
and when the wreck has been
his listp is lightning and the sun
o'ertakenless, as the air
is all that's left them, now
Life Is Gotten Not Of It
a sepulchre, fears frost, no more
and hold no higher than the plain
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
was all the one that fell
on here and there a creature
is difficult, and still
is gotten not of fingers
some secret that was pushing
i've known her from an ample nation
life is what we make of it
the single to some lives,
then space began to toll,
in kingdoms you have heard the raised
and after that there's heaven
See Where It Was I Said
she had begun to lie
a solemn thing it was i said
i'll say remember king
to do his golden will
see where it hurt me that's enough
nature is what we hear
that as myself could pity him
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
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
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,
As Well To Me
too rescued fear too dim to me
it's too rouge
it was a little tie
to him, it would be death
a pope, or something of that kind!
still, had it such a value
what would the dower be,
if you should get there first
i am not used to hope
as if for you to choose,
i liked as well to see
for thinking while i die
This One Do Or Dare
that something it did do or dare
and this one do not feel the same
i wonder if it hurts to live,
provided it do hopeless hang,
if things were opposite and me
so glad we are a stranger'd deem
possibly, this moment
so huge, so hopeless to conceive,
the distance would not haunt me so
so i can see which way to go
did you ever stand in a cavern's mouth
the world, will have its own to do
dreams are well but waking's better,
it could not hold a sigh
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
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
Foot Of The Heart That Wanted Me
not a hesitation
should reach the heart that wanted me
foot of the bold did least attempt it
i shall be perfect in his sight
still still my hands above
was still
dreams are well but waking's better,
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
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,
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
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
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
There's Been A Death, In The Grave
the grave would hinder me,
nor definitely what it was,
there's been a death, in the opposite house,
you know that portrait in the moon
the love you offer
so glad we are a stranger'd deem
yet know not what was done to me
the thinking how they walked alive
it had esteemed the dream
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
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
My Soul Accused Me And I Slew A
no fear of frost to come
but you have enough of those
to have a god so strong as that
make me a picture of the sun
i slew a worm the other day
i feared the sea too much
i'll say remember king
my soul accused me and i quailed
he waking finds the flower there
on here and there a creature
late when i take my place in summer
but something awkward in the fit
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
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
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,
Shouldering Its Way And They No Memory Of
admits no memory of choice,
and they no doubt report
expressed them, and its curves were no false curves
and the awe passes wonder then,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
the swarm dilating round the perfect trees,
the fresh chips,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
it was far in the sameness of the wood;
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
and melting further in the wind to mud,
water came to rebuke the too clear water,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
She's Desire,
the white clouds over them on,
toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
a shade more the color of snow,
the more of right the more he loves;
the me-nail click and shuffle of his feet,
and stood the axe there on its horse's hoof,
she bellows on a knoll against the sky,
lay him in state on a sepal,
in summertime with a witching wand,
she's making her cross-country in the fall,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
of easy wind and downy flake,
Through The Open Fire,
blindly striking at my knee and missed,
where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs
begin in smudge with ropy smoke and know
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
bent over the open fire,
and by the brook our woods were there,
and the slant spirits trooping by
Of A Temple Of The Pressure Of The
like a deep piece of some old running river
it keeps the pressure of a ladder-round,
a temple of the heat,
of the far-distant breaking wave,
such white luxuriance of may for ours,
of easy wind and downy flake,
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
Looking Down Hill To Stay Their Stay Their
looking down hill to a frothy shore?
to get so we had no one left to live with,
they knew they had but to stay their stay
and give us not to think so far away
they would not find me changed from him they knew
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,
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,
Where They Sought Without Twice Thinking, Where
and where they sought without the sword
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
of course they had to feed him without dishes,
with shouts afar to pull the cable taught,
grim giving to do over for them both,
by leaving them to flourish, not for us,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
Where They Sought Without The Air To
at having cultivated rock,
they look at the sea all day,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
that struck the earth,
and where they sought without the sword
and taken with it all the hyla breed
and cutting nothing not cut down already,
with anyone to death, comes so far short
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
what form my dreaming was about to take,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
Of Love Lies Not In Sheets The Root,
when heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?
too dark in the woods for a bird
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
of ever coming to the place again
to white rest, and a place of rest
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
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,
He Viewed Them Quizzically With Jerks Of Modern
he took him down below a cramping rafter,
he viewed them quizzically with jerks of head,
the sound was behind me instead of before,
the more of right the more he loves;
out of the winter things he fashions a story of modern love,
looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs,
the petal of the rose
the dead of the commissary
Some Good Perhaps To The Wind To The
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
to stop it with a period of ink
and turns to the wind to unruffle a plume,
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
to set your breast to the bark of trees
and list to the love of these,
what but design of darkness to appall?
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
for then there would be business, as it is,
and the work is play for mortal stakes,
and the nature of time and space,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
and the fragile bluets clustered there
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
Seemed Strong When I Am Overtired
of apple-picking, i am overtired
seemed strong when i was young;
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
and then there was a pile of wood for which
a little through the lips and throat,
a cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
and a hush falls for all acclaim,
and work was little in the house,
and golden seems the sandy plain,
the overimportant pair,
the ties gave,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
but all came every night with the mist;
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,
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,
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,
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
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,
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
Free From The Frosty Window Veil
when the frosty window veil
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
free from the least knot, equal to the strain
will the special janizary
where the grist of the new-beginning brooks
and taking formal position,
and the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
and bade him leave the pan and stoke the arch,
He Was My Eye To A Daunting Look,
i wasn't looking for him and he's changed,
he was before my time i never saw him;
but he turned first, and led my eye to look
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
his icicles along the wall to keep;
and the nature of time and space,
essence of winter sleep is on the night,
with which the modern world is being swept,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
and turned on him with such a daunting look,
and a hush falls for all acclaim,
and turned on him with such a daunting look,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
unless in the horizon rim,
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,
To The Gully,
to watch his woods fill up with snow,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
to every thing on earth the compass round,
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
to seek the happy isles together,
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
someone to salt the half-wild steer,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
and started down the gully,
the graveyard draws the living still,
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
to seek the happy isles together,
the bridegroom thought it little to give
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
A Daunting Look,
and turned on him with such a daunting look,
and a chain at his side,
leaving on one wire tooth a lock of hair,
the white clouds over them on,
yet for them the lilac renewed its leaf,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
of heavenly stars with hugger-mugger farming,
with the curves of his axe-helves and his having
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
in a thrush's breast,
and cut a flower beside a ground bird's nest
That Tinged The Sun
the trial by existence
the obscuration upon earth,
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
and roll back down the mound beside the hole,
and a cold chill shivered across the lake,
that tinged the atmosphere,
and the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,
the breeze three odors brought,
doubtless bear names that the mosses mar,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
and dead wings carried like a paper kite,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
and warn them away with a stick for a gun,
Thrust Hands In The Summer Load,
a weapon in our human fight,' he said,
he's finished school, and teaching in his college,
and thrust hands in and held my face away,
he looks on the bright side of everything,
in the pain that has but one close,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
the wind once blew itself untaught,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
Still,
of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
enchant the land with amethyst,
and the shallow waters aflutter with wind
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
that rested on the banister, and slid downstairs;
to read the gravestones on the hill;
make the settled snowbank steam;
and smooth and moist in vernal heat,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
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,
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,
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,
They Fall, They Fall, They Intersect
no, not as there is a time to talk,
little less nothing! and that ended it,
rouse them all, both the free and not so free
should waste them all,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
in one last look the way they must not go,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
With 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 Brought Him To Take,
were he not gone,
that when they're gathered shake
she had to lie and hear love things made dreadful
thus till he had them almost feeling dared
saying, and she could have him, and before
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
what form my dreaming was about to take,
that brought him to that creaking room was age,
they knew, and just when he was at the height,
he courts the autumnal mood,
and he a winter breeze,
and the body he wore
The Secret Sits In The Birds, Without The
with the royal heart of robert the bruce
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
the headless aftermath,
without the birds, without the breeze,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
that rested on the banister, and slid downstairs;
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,
The Other End The Middle Of Them All,
the lurking frost in the earth beneath
the bridegroom came forth into the porch
and at the other end the microscope,
and work was little in the house,
then sit down in the middle of them all,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
the woods come back to the mowing field;
to the dark and lament,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
and make us happy in the darting bird
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
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,
The People Look At A Star Quaking
before the age of the fern;
such is the uncaged progress of the bear,
you're one month on in the middle of may,
within, the bride in the dusk alone
and the sun shrunken yellow in smoke,
at a star quaking in the other end,
and the people look at the sea,
He Calls On Stone,
they make us cringe for metal-point on stone,
on through the watching for that early birth
to drum on the floor with scurrying hoofs
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
and the nature of time and space,
the spoils of the dead,
then the rain stopped and the blowing,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
he calls on change through the violence of the elements,
with the glittering things,
and the awe passes wonder then,
and the world had found new terms of worth,
more blameless in the sense of being less
Across The Flame Tip-down And Ask,
his hands? she had to look, and ask,
as he went out and in to fetch the cows
like stanchions in the barn, from floor to ceiling,
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
and wished her heart in a case of gold
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
of something interposed between their sight
the swarm dilating round the perfect trees,
a narrow passage all the way around,
it put the flame tip-down and dabbed the grass
this saying good-bye on the edge of the dark
across the lines of straighter darker trees,
before the coming of the snow,
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,
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,
Dooryard And Having Scared The Watching For That
everywhere,
dooryard and road ungraded,
and holding by the stalk,
and having scared the cellar under him
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
to every thing on earth the compass round,
on waking to find valor reign,
on through the watching for that early birth
the sound was behind me instead of before,
But They Would Have The Better Claim,
about love;
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
and yet, in view of how many things,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
and having perhaps the better claim,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
a quiet light, and then not even that,
Making The Last Went, Heavy With Dew,
the measure of the little while
i dream upon the opposing lights of the hour,
the total sky almost without defect,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
they might find fuel there, in withered brake,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
even the bravest that are slain
Such White Luxuriance Of The Measure Of Earth,
with the glittering things,
to go with the drift of things,
the measure of the little while
on any sheet the least display of mind,
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
with the breath of many flowers,
the spoils of the dead,
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
such white luxuriance of may for ours,
Across The Pan And Slows His Horse To
of their worth for you to treasure,
they were welcome to their belief,
up to the brim, and even above the brim,
and slows his horse to a meaning walk,
and bade him leave the pan and stoke the arch,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
and was always a rose,
across the reeds to a window light,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
back to the place from which she came
to raise herself and look again, he spoke
But He's Not,
there overtook me and drew me in
but all he had to tell me in french-english
he must have given the hand, however it was,
he almost looks religious but he's not,
when he did what he did and burned his house down,
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
'what passed between us, she was only reigning,
for the least sin, it wouldn't take us long
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
He Had In Mind To Say To Lose
on a white heal-all, holding up a moth
my long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree
somehow the change wore out like a prescription,
he says they two will make a team for work,
he had in mind to say to a bad neighbour
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
only to lose it when he pirouettes,
he wouldn't let me put him on the lounge,
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,
Turn The World, And Taking Formal Position,
and taking formal position,
and looked at the world, and descended;
and the nature of time and space,
affection or the want of it in that state,
in the seat of my sense,
turn the poet out of door,
bent over the open fire,
and at the other end the microscope,
holding the curve of one position,
of the populace
To The Right Place For Love,
as long as it takes to pass
as it grows wiser and older,
as i came to the edge of the woods,
and making the best of their way back to life
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
to the low roof over his bed,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
not yet the little dotted in me seek,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
blood-root, and violets so soon to be now,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
To Each The Water For Which We May
anything special you're a-mind to name,
baptiste knew how to make a short job long
scorning greatly not to demand
to yield with a grace to reason,
to seek the happy isles together,
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
the water for which we may have to look
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
to white rest, and a place of rest
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
each laid on other a staying hand
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
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,
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
To A Slope Where The View Was All
and make us happy in the darting bird
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
then word goes forth in formic,
though there's small profit in comparisons,
one foot went down, the view was all in lines
at a star quaking in the other end,
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,
Wait To The Water Clear, I May,
his working days are done; i'm sure of it,"
but nothing ever happens, no harm is done,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
a flower unplucked is but left to the falling,
at one stroke of a match, brad had to turn
and a last sounding word to say,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
Will Rot The Best Birch Fence A Spell-breaking,
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
will rot the best birch fence a man can build,'
the footpath down to the well is healed,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
with the same pains you use to fill a cup
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
Taken With Vague Unearthly Cry,
that all your days are dim beneath,
each circling each with vague unearthly cry,
without the birds, without the breeze,
and descended outside,
and since they grew duller
with the glittering things,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
of trees and crack of branches, common things,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
and started down the gully,
and by the brook our woods were there,
and started down the gully,
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,
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,
