Poems about nothing
If He Breathed
and shadows tremble so
as i love thee
if he dissolve then there is nothing more
could they know he breathed
It's Finer Own The Woods,
much madness is divinest sense -
it's finer own the ear
it's like the woods,
what then?
why nothing,
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
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
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
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,
That The Worst, Is Easy In A Creature
defeat means nothing but defeat,
because she breathed against
could behold so far a creature
itself can rest upon
tell that the worst, is easy in a moment
to see that none is due?
that does not blur my gem!
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
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
That They Have Done Expecting Me Think I'm
i fear me this circumference
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
i've nothing else to bring, you know
that they have done expecting me
let me think i'm sure
of meeting them afraid
he'll take it scan it step aside
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
To Live
from accent harsh, or ruthless word
with many a turn and thorn
it may be a renown to live
to tell him it is noon, abroad
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
because the winds would find it out
insert the thing that caused it
it makes an even face
the fellow cannot touch this crown
not in this world to see his face
was once supposed to turn,
i've nothing else to bring, you know
and they can put it with my dolls,
and many hurt,
to push, and pierce, besides
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
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
Nor Can See
the dust, will vex your fame
nor can you tell me
and that is his business not ours
for their sake not for ours
as crew of mountains could afford
when gentlemen can see
for these were only put to death
for evidence it be the grace
that happen on the soul
are nothing to the bee
do not you
could it be madness this?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
the way i read a letter's this
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
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
When You Have Done Pray Tell Them Where
are nothing to the bee
to stop and tell them where it is
i could see it now
when you have done pray tell me,
Pain Is Not Be Haunted
to perish of delight
haply your summer night to charm
and pain is missed in praise
the dying but a syllable
one need not be a chamber to be haunted
their going is not
just his face nothing more!
why make it doubt it hurts it so
that would not let the will
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
But, Warren, Please Remember How It And Having
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
but, warren, please remember how it is,
they are tireless folk, but slow and sad,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
and having perhaps the better claim,
to the dark and lament,
and then come back to it and begin over,
Advancing Toward Her, "what Was It, Dear?"
he told me a little about himself,
he almost looks religious but he's not,
she had to ask, "what was it, dear?"
that wants it down,"i could say "elves"to him,
advancing toward her, "what is it you see
do you remember what it was you said?'
"there's something i should like to ask you, dear,"
that now it means to stay,
of course he's nothing to us, any more
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
they did not have the wit to say,
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,
Clear To Cheek,
he wouldn't let me put him on the lounge,
when he did what he did and burned his house down,
clear to the ground, he always kept his poise
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
not the same doe come back into her place,
of really never having meant to keep it,
next to nothing for weight,
rather than send their folks to such a place,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
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,
The Whimper Of A Message From The
died not without a noise of crackling wood�
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
a new-world song, far out of reach,
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,
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,
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
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!
The Flower Was Before It Grew,
where the flower was before it grew,
then the rain stopped and the blowing,
that jangled even above the general noise,
the stricken flower bent double and so hung,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
Anything More Than The Beauties She So Truly
the beauties she so truly sees,
for them there was really nothing sad,
it's highways, and he's got too many men
when something strange about it made me think,
that when they're gathered shake
"there, you have said it all and you feel better,
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
and might out meddling make her more afraid,
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,
But The Black Death On The Handle's
that's standing by the mother, it's so young,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
they turn their back on the land,
he looks on the bright side of everything,
he courts the autumnal mood,
with whom he crosses antennae,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
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
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
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,
'pray, Are You Know?
or dumb because you know?
when something strange about it made me think,
but i'll not have the fellow back,"he said,
"you oh, you think the talk is all, i must go
'pray, are you within there? bestir you, bestir you!
'den when you say you come? it's cost you nothing,
i sha'n't be gone long, you come too,
i craved strong sweets, but those
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 Watch The House That Laid The Right
she could be sure there was no hidden ill
they had no way of knowing a fool,
a heartfelt prayer for the poor of god,
and a shout greets the daring one,
and then there was a pile of wood for which
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
to every thing on earth the compass round,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
but once within the wood, we paused
These Nights,
'i wonder,' i say, 'who the owner of those is,'
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
in the unloading, silas does that well,
besides the grave,
and left no trace but the cellar walls,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
more than you have yourself, some of these nights,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
and often they brought so much to say
so as to say for certain i was here
and i looked to be happy, and i was,
and setting sun to hyla brook, i gave it
my long scythe whispered and left the hay to make,
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
Left Defenseless To The Slow Smokeless Burning
fearless of ever finding open land,
with the slow smokeless burning of decay,
and the fragile bluets clustered there
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
and the strange birds say,
than now these numberless years the elves,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
and, for all burden, care,
"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,
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,
One Eye Is Slipping, Bottles, Buns
and further still at an unearthly height,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
the barren boughs without the leaves,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
broken across it, and one eye is weeping
but outer space,
they might find fuel there, in withered brake,
outside there in the entry, for i saw it,"
but it's not so, the place is the asylum,
and fighting over it perished fain,
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
and taken with it all the hyla breed
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
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,
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,
Stays More That Was It Ever Less Than
stays more popular
was it ever less than a treason
and one thing more that was not then to say,
of course he's nothing to us, any more
they tried to keep him clothed, but he paraded
and often they brought so much to say
what had that flower to do with being white,
but something has to be left to god,
to take him in, and might be willing to
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,
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
As Two In Whom Them Certain Earth Returned
and raised both hands
where winds were quite excluded,
as two in whom them were proved mistaken,
saying, and she could have him, and before
had worn them really about the same,
had made them certain earth returned their love,
now lichens are due to have their turn,
and of course there must be something wrong
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
Like A Second Trial,
like a malice prepense,
a dole of bread, a purse,
doing a man's work, though a child at heart
how was it with him for a second trial,
all for me and not a question
they looked about for someone to have done it,
and all for nothing it had ever done
what had that flower to do with being white,
"i want him to, he'll have to soon or late,"
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
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,
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,
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,
That A Box,
but nothing so like beating on a box,
and fit the earth like a leather glove,
love and a question
that a man for god should strike a blow,
isn't given a moment's arrest-
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
They Fall, They Fall, They Intersect
no, not as there is a time to talk,
little less nothing! and that ended it,
rouse them all, both the free and not so free
should waste them all,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
in one last look the way they must not go,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
The Town Turned Out To Leave It To,
rose pogonias
the barren boughs without the leaves,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
the bird was not to blame for his key,
but yield who will to their separation,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
we have four here to board, great good-for-nothings,
of what you came for and become like me,
the town turned out to fight for me�that held me,
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,
The Homes Of Time And The Fragile
than populous
than now these numberless years the elves,
the graveyard draws the living still,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and the fragile bluets clustered there
and the nature of time and space,
of trees and crack of branches, common things,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and looked at the world, and descended;
and the strange birds say,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
and held against the world of hoary grass,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
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,
Upon The Road, To Put A Tree Between
but glad with him, i worked as with his aid,
to raise herself and look again, he spoke
to put a tree between us when he lighted,
of course he's nothing to us, any more
and yet too ready to believe the most,
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
For Again It Turned To Fly,
one from our trees, one far away,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
and nothing happened, day was all but done,
come over the hills and far with me,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
and all the rest for them permissible ease,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
so late-arising, to the broken moon
About Our Place Among The Sky;
"warren!"
for this is love and nothing else is love,
but strictly held by none, is loosely bound
nor was the grass itself your real concern,
but the last choice is still the same;
though some savants make earth include the sky;
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
about our place among the infinities,
coming and going all the time, they are,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
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,
On The Holy Land,
sounds nobler there than 'neath the sun;
the leaves are all dead on the group,
on the sleep of the dead,
with the slow smokeless burning of decay,
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
without the gift of sight,
affection or the want of it in that state,
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
the heart he bore to the holy land,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
the barren boughs without the leaves,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
I 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,
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,
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,
When Others Are Turned
and nothing happened, day was all but done,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
we did that day was mingle great and small
there where it is we do not need the wall,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
when others are sleeping,
but, warren, please remember how it is,
and not one but hung limp, not one was left
but never anymore the dead,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
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,
That Ought To Carry Again To Their Separation,
with smell of burning on every plume,
than the merest aimless breath of air,
wide fields of asphodel fore'er,
as the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
for a friendly visit,
and a white shimmering concourse rolls
man acts more like the poor bear in a cage,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
that now it means to stay,
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
to carry again to you,
but yield who will to their separation,
let�s not care what we do with it to-night,
Nothing To Witness There
the birds have less to say for themselves
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
trying to coax him off with pocket-money,
in time to keep me from suspecting him
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
toward the throne to witness there
clear to the ground, he always kept his poise
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
so as to please you, but i might be taught,
i haven't courage for a risk like that,
yet nothing i should care to leave behind,
To Go There,
we did that day was mingle great and small
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
to be coming home the way i was,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
just as you will till it becomes a habit,
since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven as yet
to which it is reserved for god above
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
they did not have the wit to say,
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
when supper's on the table, and we'll see
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
where they have left not one stone on a stone,
What Will Next Prove A Wall,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
with the breath of many flowers,
a heartfelt prayer for the poor of god,
he spent himself, the labour of his axe,
holding the curve of one position,
where the grist of the new-beginning brooks
the barren boughs without the leaves,
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
a prayer in spring
what will next prove a rose,
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
there's nothing but a voice-like left inside
Kept Them At Home; And With Me,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
and with his eyes he asked her not to ask,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
come over the hills and far with me,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
kept them at home; and it does seem more human,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
i end not far from my going forth
i saw you from that very window there,
i know that this is way in ours,
There Was Never A Sound Beside The Breast,
and all for nothing it had ever done
the way he mixed that in with other things,
high in the breast, nothing but what good care
unsaid between us, brother, and this remained
but oh, the agitated heart
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
one is alone, and he dies more alone,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
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,
Me,
for what they�d better wait till we have done,
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
but now for me than you the other way,
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
toward the throne to witness there
there where he moved the rocks to plow the ground
to meet him in the doorway with the news
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a star in two or three, the way you split
then sit down in the middle of them all,
forever the noise of these
the dust of snow
With Doctoring, But It Sounded,
and be one traveler, long i stood
and so the choice must be again,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
he kept from school, or did his best to keep
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
and to do that to birds was why she came,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
though we choose greatly, still to lack
to listen ere we dared to look,
Had Brought To Have Been Its Mark,
seems to owe naught to any single cord,
had brought to rest,
they were welcome to their belief,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
to rest from his besetting fears,
to seek the happy isles together,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
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,
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;
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,
