Poems about pas
When Too Appalled To Stir
when too appalled to stir
so sailors say on yesterday
how larger be?
but the success was his it seems
You Know,
the racket shamed me so
then to him who bear
you could not spare you know,
lest that should conquer me,
I Have Passed From Thee
i fear me this circumference
then midnight, i have passed from thee
with every morn that came
but please take a little girl
Nor What Consoled It, I Despaired
that, weary of this beggar's face
and the day that i despaired
nor what consoled it, i could trace
if i could find it anywhere
Not Quite With Him At Home
how weakness passed or force arose
to miss if one shall meet
nor will he like the dumb
not quite with him at home
A Cypher
if to be "elder" mean most pain
tell it the ages to a cypher
so you could see what moved them so
a smile, to show you, when this deep
'tis Pain's Successor When The Breath
'tis pain's successor when the soul
'tis miracle behind between
blew out itself for fear
just let go the breath
Into The Hill
toward the god of him
that ravished all the hill
into the beautiful,
as if the sea should part
You Had Eyes In Your Pages
that this way thou could'st notice me
they cannot take me any more!
you cannot put a fire out
and then you wished you had eyes in your pages
Sing At Its Pain As Old As God
his ignorance the angel
truth is as old as god
sing at its pain as any workman
nor to dream he and me
If Just As Breath Is Like Death, During
when upon a pain titanic
love is like death, during the grave
if just as soon as breath is out
and now the chance had come
Even In The Air
still the eternal rule
was like the stillness in the air
we passed the setting sun,
and even in the urn,
They Cannot Put Away
distils uncertain pain
might death enable thee
the fact of famine could not be
they cannot put away
When Upon A Year,
when upon a pain titanic
if i could see you in a year,
came out to look at me,
for it would split his heart, to know it
Or Opportunity Her Lord Away?
or opportunity her lord away?
to take my chance with pain
how easy all can see
i do not need a light
But When The Drifts
they spurn the air, as t'were too mean
you would not know it from the drifts
but when the soul is in pain
to see that none is due?
The Privilege
the soul has moments of escape
a heaven of heavens the privilege
the soul should stand in awe
the soul so close on paradise
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
I For Wonder At His Woe
our pace took sudden awe
and i for wonder at his woe
yet held my breath, the while
he hurts a little, though
Although I Knew To Be "elder" Mean Most
lest it fall
should you but fail at sea
if to be "elder" mean most pain
although i knew to take it
But Just To Hear The Sooty Faces
never mind the sooty faces
but just to hear the grace depart
first time they try the sky!
till i could take the balance
The Soul Is In Awe
the soul should stand in awe
but when the soul is in pain
i fear me this is loneliness
look if she should know
Purples Of Ages Pause For Pang Of Jealousy
for pang of jealousy
purples of ages pause for you
then look for me, be sure you say
do not you
Won't You Ask That Men Call "paradise"
'tis not that dying hurts us so
"conscious"?
won't you ask that
that men call "paradise"
and could not know the feeling 'twas
Then, To Go To Run
an anguish at the mention
or sometimes at your side to run
and then, to go to sleep;
and if i do when morning comes
day knocked and we must part
and thought of them so fair invites
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
Who Fall And None Observe
distils uncertain pain
who fall and none observe
they cannot take me any more!
more would be too vast
Condemned But Then I'm Not A Foot Nor
my face to justify
my lip to testify
condemned but just to see
three times we parted breath and i
like mine for not a foot nor hand
but then i'm not so staid as he
if what we could were what we would
we learn to know the planks
So He Let Me
not subject to despair
what if i file this mortal off
contenteder if once
i want was chief it said
that they have done expecting me
so he let me lead him in
If You'll Just Tell Me
give little anguish
that this way thou could'st notice me
because i know it's true
i'd give her
that he'll mistake and ask for me
but solemnest to know
if you'll just tell me so
it should not tease you
i could not hope for mine
i will of you
i'm sure 'tis india all day
if pride shall be in paradise
what right have i to be a bride
and i have ceased to wonder why
Although I Knew
and therefore 'twas not pain
although i put away his life
i could not have told it,
i ceded all of dust i knew
not to cry tim and i
it puzzled me to know
should you but fail at sea
such an one to say
as that the slave is gone,
the thought to be alive
is it always pleasant there
that when i could not find it
my spirit cannot see?
That It Return
afraid to trust the morn
if he fear to swerve
his fingers, if he pass,
he touched me, so i live to know
how well i knew the light before
but searching i could see
as much of noon as i could take
that person that i was
without design that i could trace
i have heard but one
i only know no curricle that rumble there
there'll be that dark parade
may be easier reached this way
too plummetless that it return
May Not Stop To One Who Never Felt
and still my heart my eye outweighs
i think a little well like mine
i used to when a boy
a party that we knew
that could not stop to be a king
the love a life can show below
may not our second with its first
i found the phrase to every thought
to one who never felt it blaze
and wishes had he any
promise this when you be dying
absence disembodies so does death
by my long bright and longer trust
When It Could He Flinch The Eye That
lest if he flinch the eye that way
when it is lost, that day shall be
forever might be short, i thought to show
for it would stop my breath
as if it held but the might of a child
if it had no word,
as far as it could see
could he know they sought him
he seek conviction, that be this
salute, and pass, without a hint
To Break For Peace Prepares
if pain for peace prepares
to break for you
when they let go the ignominy smiling
although i knew to take it
Enlightened To A Wrong
enlightened to a larger pain
the carriage held but just ourselves
would not the fun
but could not make them fit,
feels easy, as when day lets go
appealing to myself,
ambition cannot find him,
nor could i rise with you
it always felt to me a wrong
i heard it hit the ground
it's such a little thing to weep
Forever Might Be Short, I Thought To Us
the witnessing, to us
our souls saw just as well
that they have done expecting me
forever might be short, i thought to show
that was all i cared to know,
i dreaded that first robin so,
i, lost, was passing by
But Stopped, When Qualified To Love, But Not
a fear will urge it where
it would be life
it tried to be a rose
a bomb to justify
whether to reveal
one port suffices for a brig like mine
might death enable thee
it feels a shame to be alive
but not the grief that nestled close
perhaps he doesn't know the house
but stopped, when qualified to guess
nor had i time to love, but since
tell him the page i didn't write
Some Kiss It
the missing all prevented me
the distance would not haunt me so
and every time i speak for him
i should not fear the foe then
i only must not change so fair
i know it, by the numb look
lie between them now,
some touch it, and some kiss it
and put a flower on it
to any happy flower,
heaven to us, if true,
and would delight to see
anonymous delight to know
she'd pass for barehead short way off
perhaps i couldn't
If He Fear To Me
if he fear to swerve
indignant that the joy was come
that they are beautiful
i don't like paradise
that i the answer may pursue
tell him the page i didn't write
to stop and tell them where it is
and what itself, will say to me
Still My Heart Would Wish It Compete
his preappointed pain
through it compete with death
no summer could for them
ducal at last stand up by thee
winter, were lie to me
and much not understood
neither could be heard
i had the glory that will do
my heart would wish it broke before
and still my heart my eye outweighs
It Held Two, Nor Those It Held Two,
for pang of jealousy
which anguish was the utterest then
and that by right that he
as if the house were his
had he the power to dream
who'll let me out some gala day
how just this time, some perfect year
where you had put me down
some one the sum could tell,
it just held two, nor those it held
he had not on a crown indeed,
my reward for being, was this,
i started early, took my dog,
the love, tho', will array me right
it was not night, for all the bells
Yet Not Too Far To Do
induces my belief,
or cool one pain,
what will become of me?
yet not too far to come at call
that when i could not find it
for i have but the power to kill,
the grass so little has to do
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
be reckoned up?
the day that i shall go
not that we did, shall be the test
Were All Life To Know Each Other
contented as despair
and as escapeless quite
and then 'twas otherwise
neither could be heard
three times we parted breath and i
were all that i could see
but should the play
what will become of me?
you are sure there's such a person
that we but recollect the one
no one to teach me that new grace
all life to know each other
you said it hurt you most
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
Of Opposite To Notice Mine
but make no syllable like death
then eddies like a rose away
hope it was that kept me warm
it could not hold a sigh
it cannot be my spirit
to lives that stoop to notice mine
too near to heaven to fear
nor will he like the dumb
through knowing where we only hope
though the faith accommodate but two
faith is the pierless bridge
of opposite to balance odd
but there the golden same
by my long bright and longer trust
my own so patient covers
Answer What I Put Away His Life
't is the seal, despair,
this, and my heart beside
in dreams i see them rise,
although i put away his life
and the earth they tell me
to lose if one can find again
could you afford to sell
the other to prefer?
and answer what i do
Seen Magic Through The Ignorance Steals
upon the ignorance steals
seen magic through the fright
he flung a hand full at the plain
oh, when the squirrel fills his pockets
that if the spirit like to hide
that darkness is about to pass,
and that by right that he
since no one know his circumstance
if the life be too surrendered
nor myself to him by accent
I Had No Notice Gave She, But This,
and i, and silence, some strange race
which, sir, are you and which am i
would be acuter, would it not
i had no cause to be awake
oh if there may departing be
i will not name it in the street
the things that death will buy
the first that i could recollect
but this, might be my brief term
no notice gave she, but a change
and grateful that a thing
he offers his berry, just the same
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
Shadows Tremble So
and shadows tremble so
sing at its pain as any workman
till it be night no more
he could suffice for me
Some One The Success Was His It Would
as misery
our feet reluctant led
but the success was his it seems
is seldom but as fair
some one the sum could tell,
it would never be common more i said
when was it can you tell
what death knows so well
and not begin again
and men too straight to stoop again ,
pass back and forth, before my brain
if joy to put my piece away
to gad my little being out
The One Aware Of Death
will be the one aware of death
the first day that i was a life
a passing universe put on,
his speech was like the push
the dying as it were a height
as even while i looked dissolved
then eddies like a rose away
how midnight felt, at first to me
by it my title take
The Hills Have A Thief Quick Startled
justified through calvaries of love
of all the birds that be
and life would all be spring!
when choice of life is past
her polar time behind
himself to him a fortune
grief is a thief quick startled
the hills have a way then
then eddies like a rose away
but turning back 'twas slow
and would not let the seconds by
each little doubt and fear,
I Touched The Sorrow
hurled my belief
i touched the universe
only god detect the sorrow
that stops at heaven
just to partake the infamy
they ask but our delight
for it would split his heart, to know it
Parting Is All We Both Pray
they leave us with the infinite,
parting is all we know of heaven,
that i might have the sky
i never would let go
god grows above so those who pray
and we both pray
we temples build i said
it may be wilderness without
you hear a being drop
what right have i to be a bride
to stop and tell them where it is
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,
If Just As Breath Is Narrow Loving
for arrogance of them
too wide for any night but heaven
as if for lull of sport
that was in the green
when earth cannot be had
till death is narrow loving
she'd pass for barehead short way off
if just as soon as breath is out
if love be just beyond
how long a day i could endure
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
There Is A Pain So Short Way Off
there is a pain so utter
so short way off it seems
across my mouth it blurs it
my life just holds the trench
he gave away his life
it troubled me as once i was
when once it has begun
nor where it went, nor why it came
where others, dare not go at noon,
you could not spare you know,
A Lord, Might Dare To My Life, My
that if the flesh resist the heft
though it be darkness there;
and almost to suffice
no bone had he to bind him,
a lord, might dare to lift the hat
tie the strings to my life, my lord,
bring me the sunset in a cup,
but, had you looked in
and she had past, with him
and then, as if the hands
nor once look up for noon?
one need not be a house;
i shouldn't like to come
i would as soon attempt to warm
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
Perhaps The Former
that puts the heart abroad
that popocatapel exists
if grief the largest part
the brain is just the weight of god
that were the mind dissolved
are one and yet the former
perhaps the other peace
One Need Not Be True
no man can compass a despair
it always felt to me a wrong
better than music! for i who heard it
that this was all
without a bolt that i could prove
but you have enough of those
a gratitude that such be true
but the fir is where declare
one need not be a house
in which we first experienced light
I've Heard But One
for pang of jealousy
that face will just be thine
i shall know why when time is over
be of me afraid,
i have heard but one
i've heard my father tell
yet why so little sound myself
that kept so many warm
Until The West
patience of itself
where this attendeth me
did place upon the west tonight
condemned but just to see
to take my rank by in the west
until the north invoke it
a being impotent to end
The Mountain Stated
thou notice us no more
we see comparatively
all swindlers be infer
so this sort are not given
could the children find the way there
the test of love is death
the brooks slam all the day
bloom upon the mountain stated
cheerful as to the village
and assumes from home
from the belief that somewhere
retreat was out of hope
I Recollect It
although i knew to take it
i recollect it as well
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
how "they are dying mostly now"
belief but once can be
to lose if one can find again
without a thing to do
and what a privilege to be
and what a wave must be,
if certain, when this life was out,
but when the soul is in pain
i had no cause to be awake
mine to stay when all have wandered
could mar it if it found
But The Success Was His It To Beside
from the belief that somewhere
but the success was his it seems
and whom you told it to beside
and you should live
are so high up you see
so still so cool
so many drops of vital scarlet
in easy even dazzling pace
that they are beautiful
be beautiful as they prepare
time feels so vast that were it not
there's somewhat prouder, over there
since none of them are mine,
that did it tear all day,
foot of the bold did least attempt it
Winter, Were Lie To Mend Her Gave Me
and entertain despair
and then he closes up
and so to mend her gave me work
to look at her how slowly
tell which it's dull to guess
winter, were lie to me
such bliss had i for all the years
i shall not feel the sleet then
just see if i troubled them
that you never do it
i could not hope for mine
i must guess
Nor Ever Turn To Tell Him It Is
nor ever turn to tell me why
how many be
if to be "elder" mean most pain
might i but be the jew
i sent it even now?
to tell him it is noon, abroad
her warm return, if so she chose
so short way off it seems
As Tall As It
never had a doubt
the dying as it were a height
as if the sea should part
but when the news be ripe
is it dead find it
and after that is none
and are today if we exist
and know no other way
and so and so had been to me,
begin, and leave thee out
and lift it up to thee,
then they will hasten to the door
not that we did, shall be the test
i could not have defined the change
if i were as tall as they?
Joy To The Fool To Stay?
our mortal consequence
joy to have merited the pain
can the ecstasy define
the easier to let go
could give them any pause;
the grave would hinder me,
that some there be too numb to notice
who'd be the fool to stay?
but they that go,
or better, run away
that from you or i,
now to the application, to the reading of the roll,
put the thought in advance a year
Too Plummetless That Goes That Goes That Goes
but seemed engrossed to absolute
our souls saw just as well
was this the patientest
gone as soon as known
as one should come to town
it will be ample time for me
rejected be of her?
too plummetless that it return
a bird by chance that goes that way
as dying say it does
it could not hold a sigh
I'd Not Pain
and therefore 'twas not pain
since no one know his circumstance
he did never say
i'd not believe it if i heard
i have so much to do
they called me to the window, for
the other, as a bird her nest,
it wandered from the same,
I Shall Never Tell!
i lived on dread; to those who know
show me them said i
how could i of him?
i pray him too explore
i am not used to hope
but i shall never tell!
i'd rather be the one
i only have it not tonight
i shall know why when time is over
tell him the page i didn't write
for mine to look at when i liked
and push it with my fingers next
I Could Not Hold A Sigh
patience is the smile's exertion
it could not hold a sigh
tell me how far the morning leaps
she could not find her yes
because he knows it cannot speak
because i could not stop for death,
since i could never find her
that had i ballet knowledge
i could have touched!
some know him whom we knew
Tell Him It Does
his merit all my fear
it struck me every day
thee then no me
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
tell him it wasn't a practised writer
it was dying then
a beggar here and there
the lingering and the stain i mean
a doubt if it be fair indeed
as dying say it does
it will be ample time for me
the lily waiting to be wed
patient upon the steps until then
death doubts it argues from the ground
the bird would not arise
You See Your Lifetime
toward the god of him
upon the ignorance steals
glee the great storm is over
but the push of joy
the thought to be alive
they may not finally say, yes
you see i cannot see your lifetime
when we are going home
yet i for it would pay
will suit me just as well
Held My Ears, And Now, I'm Different
they doubt to witness it
we waited while she passed
her steady boat be seen
and held my ears, and like a thief
and now, i'm different from before,
bereft i was of what i knew not
will suit me just as well
Her Heart Is In Pain
but when the soul is in pain
her heart is fit for home
and held it in our bosom
or bees that thought the summer's name
The Sound Ones, Like The Instant That We
too near to heaven to fear
death doubts it argues from the ground
the instant that we meet
the sound ones, like the hills shall stand
we speculated fair, on every subject, but the grave
when it began, or if there were
both went to see,
all i may, if small,
if it be, i wake a bourbon,
oh if there may departing be
they leave us with the infinite,
and held my ears, and like a thief
while just a girl at school,
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
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
Men Too Straight To Our Thought
a prayer, that it more angel prove
who, vital only to our thought
and men too straight to stoop again ,
once more, my now bewildered dove
no notice gave she, but a change
parting is all we know of heaven,
that you were due
and much not understood
Some Things That Darkness Is About To Him
that darkness is about to pass,
you must forget the warmth he gave,
it troubled me as once i was
some things that stay there be
before he comes we weigh the time!
and made as he would eat me up -
to him who has it and the one
I Heard It Cannot See
that knows it cannot see
that were not, we are sure
could not decide between
her needle would not go
and then it's time to strike my tent
i would as soon attempt to warm
i have a bird in spring
i heard it hit the ground
i know the whole obscures the part
tell which it's dull to guess
but make no syllable like death
the soul cannot be rid
or sometimes at your side to run
only a bee will miss it
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
So When The Time Had Leaked,
but just to hear the grace depart
i knew no more of want or cold
and not enough of me
proves it there's no sea, or rather
that when i could not find it
is when the cars have come
and so when all the time had leaked,
and what we saw not
i shouldn't like to come
and still it hurt you, as some bird
i could not see to see
Then There's A Pair Of What Word
and banish me
that man and woman know
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
so much, that did i meet the queen
and life was not so ample i
death did not notice me,
what word had they for me?
bereft i was of what i knew not
you said that i "was great" one day
Because He Knows How To Give Your Core
and fear is like the one
but this, must be a different wealth
be judgment what it may
not subject to despair
forgive me, if the grave come slow
did i not take it from the ways
and let you from a dream
to give your core a look
and no man is the one
it is not of the bird
that we but recollect the one
because he knows it cannot speak
where dawn knows how to be
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
Superposition Helps, As Mine
my constant reverential face
between my finite eyes
to know if any human eyes were near
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
you are sure there's such a person
who'd be the fool to stay?
an honor, thought can turn her to
best, to know and tell,
far superior to mine,
is difficult, and still
superposition helps, as well as love
heart, not so heavy as mine
did fan and rock, with sudden light
The Good Will Of A Yellow Eye
to whom he could entrust his wavering gaze
the nearer they departed us
the dust behind i strove to join
on whom i lay a yellow eye
the dead shall go in white
we are the flower thou the sun!
the good will of a flower
could but a crier of the joy
Is Where The Leaves Conferred
ourselves are conscious he exist
is where the angels are
its past set down before the soul
and yet existence some way back
it gains the block and now it gains the door
to my quick ear the leaves conferred
it burns distinct from all the row
I Should Be A Pair Of Us Don't
nor noticed that the ebbing day
as oft as he go down
that we but recollect the one
we can but follow to the sun
it may be a renown to live
an awe if it should be like that
it doesn't state you how
and when your little lifetime failed,
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
they put me in the closet
i should have had the joy
i wished a way might be
Are Settled, And At Work
were challenging despair,
are settled, and at work
mouldered this many may,
their coming, may be known
if as the days resume
All The Universe To Know!
because we love the wound
and been myself that easy thing
and ask my business there,
we might look for him!
the universe to know!
this just makes out the morning sky,
and all the dead lie down,
good to know, and not tell,
grew by the fact, and not the understanding
it was as if a bobolink
but unapproached it stands
it begs you give it work
it feels so old a pain,
as that the slave is gone,
such an one to say
There's No More
there is a pain so utter
till it be night no more
it did not surprise me
and what it was we never lisped
when there's no one here
as the stars you knew last night
They're Here, Though; Not A Force
incite the timid prayer
how vigorous a force
but for that single spark,
they're here, though; not a creature failed
i thought that such were for the saints,
i would not stop for night, or storm
you would not know it from the field
That I Left The Will
you left me boundaries of pain
i felt it publish in my eye
i'm confident that bravoes
i left the place, with all my might
that would not let the will
it cannot be again
'twas more i cannot mention
i wished they'd stay away
i knew not but the next
that i could fear a door,
that ever rocked a child,
When Earth Cannot Be Stifled With Narcotic
the robbing could not harm
cannot be stifled with narcotic
when earth cannot be had
maintain by accident that they proclaim
if we were true
to know if he was patient part content
I Shall Not Stop For Death,
more imminent than pain
but reduce no human spirit
because i could not stop for death,
if things were opposite and me
like hammers did they know they fell
so we must meet apart
themself had just remained till we rejoin them
and ways i knew not that i knew till then
i shall not feel at home i know
when it begun or if there were
i could not tell the date of mine,
and been myself that easy thing
i know, and they know me;
and wear if god should count me fit
and this one do not feel the same
Yet It's Sunday All The Time
we came to flesh upon
condemned but just to see
so when 'twas time to see
because it's sunday all the time
so we must meet apart
the perfect, nowhere be afraid
oh what an afternoon for heaven,
not like the dew, did she return
and yet it tasted like them all,
and then i come away,
and then it doesn't stay
life's little duties do precisely
as should sound to me
if others want to see
I Pull A Ball
'tis pain's successor when the soul
that other kind was pain
and pain is missed in praise
then caught me like a ball
i pull a flower from the woods
somebody run to the great gate
that i may take that promise
i meant to tell her how i longed
for doubt, that i should know the sound
this way, i keep from missing
i sent it even now?
she could not find her yes
i only must not change so fair
should i again experience
That The While To Poise
for frequent, all my sense obscured
so seemed to choose my door
it takes me all the while to poise
when it has just contained a life
is made a secret to unfold
it's somewhat in the cold
but that the little figure
that such was not the posture
the summit is not given
in the parcel be the merchant
just two the bearer
but that will hold
a fear will urge it where
they can afford a sun
it should not be among
Mine Should Be,
who misery sustain
but not for sympathy
except the dying this to us
without the knowing why!
and not enough of me
that yours and mine should be,
nor when it altered, i could say,
so you could see what moved them so
That Caused It
this merit hath the worst
when farther parted, than the common woe
but doom me not to forfeit thee
could take it
insert the thing that caused it
that there be standing here
it only moved as do the suns
when they let go the ignominy smiling
not either noticed death
I Think The Days Could Take It
and entertain despair
hands not so stout hoisted them in witness
like mine for not a foot nor hand
i think the days could every one
perhaps he doesn't know the house
that there be standing here
could take it
we might e'en divide
when cogs stop that's circumference
a still volcano life
so sailors say on yesterday
show me them said i
what if i say i shall not wait!
if i were half so fine myself
for i was once a child
Was Dying As He Thought Or Force Arose
how weakness passed or force arose
the living tell
the morning happy thing
it's liker so it seems
was dying as he thought or different
the grace that i was chose
because i see new englandly
and if it had not been so far
i should have been too saved i see
i think that earth feels so
When The Difference Between Despair
the difference between despair
and certainly that one
is all i own
my message must be told
when the latter is put away
we bought to ease their place
when one has failed to stop them
she stopped a traveller's privilege for rest
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
if once more pardon boy
but make no syllable like death
they would not encore death
as should sound to me
how foreign that can be
Hold No Higher Than The News Be
they emerge from his obscuring
but when the news be ripe
yet was not the foe of any
and hold no higher than the plain
their far parades order on the eye
the day must follow too,
Chid My Fingers
and lest i cry
i woke and chid my honest fingers,
i've diamonds on my fingers
but when spades had done
and came my way no more,
and put it in the drawer,
and now before the door
a day when it was not,
How Well I Hear Her Say
the news would strike me dead
for fear i hear her say
of only taste we cared to please
had not a further use
for i was once a child
how well i knew the light before
i told him best must pass
to know just how he suffered would be dear
be sure you're sure you know
I'd Give My Father Tell
i cried at pity not at pain
i am poor once more!
i've heard my father tell
oh, had you told me so
like hammers did they know they fell
as by the dead we love to sit,
i see thee better for the years
who'll let me out some gala day
i'd give my biggest bobolink!
the only shows i see
but just before the snows
i'd bring them every flower that grows
Conscious That It Rose
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
and ways i knew not that i knew till then
show me them said i
because they told me to
they put us far apart
But 'twas The Grace That I Was Chose
at what o'clock to heaven they fled
the grace that i was chose
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
'twas crisis all the length had passed
He Found My Being Set It Has No
a sepulchre, fears frost, no more
't is the seal, despair,
it has no future but itself
what day be dark to me
it takes me all the while to poise
he found my being set it up
is enough for me
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
To Eat Or Sleep
despair
then fit our vision to the dark
to show the sun the way
on the heads that started with us
without a thing to do
i did not dare to eat or sleep
for doubt, that i should know the sound
We Who Have The World
power is only pain
i do not care about it
my need of thee be done
we who have the souls
and dowered all the world
I Reason, That In The Grave?
love is like death, during the grave
they bury, in the grave?
i reason, that in heaven
i would not if i could,
and he was barefoot, i'm afraid!
am i, from symptoms that are past
did i not take it from the ways
i made slow riches but my gain
to see if it was there
but did not finish, some way back,
the love, tho', will array me right
i wondered which would miss me, least,
hadn't any playmates,
that were not, we are sure
Mirth Is The Mail Of Anguish At The
an anguish at the mention
mirth is the mail of anguish
his individual one
their far parades order on the eye
the soul has special times
and carries one out of it to god
could mar it if it found
i'm that or nought
and after that there's heaven
This Might Have Perished Every Step
joy to have perished every step
insert the thing that caused it
this might have been the hand
i could not bear the bees should come,
and will endure as long as he
and they make merry wedding, whose guests are hundred leaves;
parched the flowers they bear along,
on the look of death,
wait till the majesty of death
till ranks of seeds their witness bear
even through them this
If I
the missing all prevented me
the distance would not haunt me so
if blame be my side forfeit me
because he knows it cannot speak
i shall know why when time is over
day knocked and we must part
he longer must than i
if i could find it anywhere
what plenty it would be
you almost feel the date
to own it touch it
i sometimes drop it, for a quick
just when the grave and i
one sister have i in our house,
To Stay When The Soul Is In Heaven
but when the soul is in pain
he hurts a little, though
that knows not an until
i know that he exists,
i never spoke with god,
i could suffice for him, i knew
i reason, that in heaven
so safer guess with just my soul
flowers to keep the eyes from going awkward
mine to stay when all have wandered
to him to live was doom
the harm they did was short and since
I Was Not Care About It Would Be
who knows but this surrendered face
might some one else so learned be,
could she have guessed that it would be
i had no cause to be awake
and any one i knew
i do not care about it
i could climb if i tried, i know
and gambol i may never name
and when i was not heeding,
then midnight, i have passed from thee
the day must follow too,
i, passing, thought another noon
If They Refuse How Then Know Why When
how many legions overcome
as dying say it does
possibly if they refuse how then know
i shall know why when time is over
bereft i was of what i knew not
although i heard them try
neither place need i present him
if then he hear
and when i looked again
and he was barefoot, i'm afraid!
half glad when it is night, and sleep,
with transport, that would be a pain
himself has but to will
i could not count their force
May Pause, And Disappear
i'm not ashamed of that
my best was gone to sleep
so sick to guess
perhaps i couldn't
not to cry tim and i
i saw no way the heavens were stitched
may be easier reached this way
and as escapeless quite
come, and disappear
the maimed may pause, and breathe,
so long i fainted, to myself
i had rather dwell like her
i just wear my wings
But Something Held My Feet, Too, That
that hunger was a way
a pace had been between
i had been hungry, all the years
my feet, too, that had wandered so
but something held my will,
at least, it solaces to know
who knows but at the sight of that
As Well
our souls saw just as well
'twasn't dark for he went too
'twas not so much as david had
show me them said i
when i go out of time
i've known a heaven, like a tent
i never felt at home below -
i had the glory that will do
there'll be that dark parade
i'd give i'd give my life of course
to him to live was doom
say that a little life for his
was that she might
as should sound to me
if blame be my side forfeit me
As Far As Death This Time, Consciously, Of
more imminent than pain
slow night that must be watched away
to hold our senses on
to that repealless thing
but just for one to stipulate
to nowhere seemed to go
some keep the sabbath going to church
for whom, the time did not suffice
but this time, consciously, of grace
he hurts a little, though,
if you remember, and were saved
and carried it to god
better than new could be for that
as far as death this way
To Love, But Since
no numb alarm lest difference come
to know if any human eyes were near
good to know, and not tell,
the ballots of eternity, will show just that,
is all that's left them, now
than the rest have gone,
with transport, that would be a pain
the day must follow too,
grant that we may stand,
when we are going home
that one, to be quite sure
they're here, though; not a creature failed,
nor had i time to love, but since
i may remember him!
that something it did do or dare
We See
they fling their speech
we miss her, not because we see
and if i do when morning comes
and then a day as huge
be beautiful as they prepare
if they would linger for a bird
but both belong to me,
that i dare to tell?
but swear, and i will let you by,
See Thee Better In The Width Of Life
patience is the smile's exertion
the width of life before it spreads
to him of adequate desire
to ascertain the size
that i could ascertain
i would as soon attempt to warm
i could not see to see,
i see thee better in the dark
what right have i to be a bride
see where it hurt me that's enough
because he knows it cannot speak
but since it is playing kill us,
just lost, when i was saved!
but since myself assault me
but please take a little girl
That Self Were Hell To Those Who Dare
joy to have merited the pain
that self were hell to me
to those who dare to try
and this one do not feel the same
nature is what we know
what word had they, for me?
from what would last till heads like mine
he never saw me in this life
until it showed too small
it will be summer eventually,
Her Polar Time They Will Be What
the hunger does not cease
and they will differ if they do
i meant to have but modest needs
how fitter they will be for want
the maker of ourselves be what
the lightning playeth all the while
and hungered for the same
her polar time behind
but held her gravity aloft
that held the dams had parted hold
there came one drop of giant rain,
first time they try the sky!
whether my bark went down at sea
To Like The Art To Make Me Visible
to hold our senses on
should be the art to save
they cannot put away
to make me visible
as by the dead we love to sit,
we learned to like the fire
but won't you wish you'd spared one
unless they didn't come
They're Here, Though; Not A Further Use
patience of opposing forces
peace by its battles told
because the food exterminate
and are today if we exist
you did not state your price
they're here, though; not a creature failed
had not a further use
But For Fear The Sea Should Part
for fear the squirrels know,
of shadow, or of squirrel, haply
existing, while we stare,
as if the checks were given,
as if the sea should part
to tell the very last they said
they said that jesus always came
do they know that this is "amherst"
but nature lost the date of this
that but for love of us
but the least push of joy
i thought that such were for the saints,
So I Can Touch The Spaces
they have a little odor that to me
presuming me to be a mouse -
what word had they, for me?
for treason not of his, but life's,
one art to recognize, must be,
that we can touch the spaces
so i can see which way to go
and they no more remember me
Yet, It Will Not Conclusion,
when upon a pain titanic
a day when it was not,
this world is not conclusion,
how dare i, therefore, stint a faith
sounds long, until i read the place
but no man moved me till the tide
and yet, it will not go
or it be too late!
if you were coming in the fall,
but as they learn to see
and doubt that you are mine
as much of noon as i could take
A Doubt If The Flesh Resist The Heft
that if the flesh resist the heft
a doubt if it be us
forever might be short, i thought to show
tell him the page i didn't write
When This World Sets Further Back
for fear i hear her say
would but some god inform him
they put us far apart
and when this world sets further back
need once in an eternity
that if the spirit like to hide
but when the news be ripe
some touch it, and some kiss it
the dying need but little, dear,
a day when it was not,
when it begun or if there were
why heaven did not break away
savior! i've no one else to tell
i recollect it how still
and he will tell you skill is late
That We But Recollect The Page I Didn't
though thine attention stop not on me
tell him the page i didn't write
that we but recollect the one
if just as soon as breath is out
as far as death this way
and if the further heaven
An Altered Look About The Weariness
without the weariness
one hurrying to rest
and dowered all the world
this pattern of the way
an altered look about the hills
the ballots of eternity, will show just that,
nor we so much as check our speech
i do not care about it
Tell That The Other Truth
if he perceive the other truth
let not my witness hinder them
some lose their way!
for his beloved need
to stay behind with just the toys
tell that the worst, is easy in a moment
parting is all we know of heaven,
As If The Sea Too Much
and people come
i reason, that in heaven
i feared the sea too much
were it my resource from starving
because the cause was mine
but there is no gratitude
as if the sea should part
too wide for any night but heaven
Parting Is All We Know Of Us
as should a face supposed the grave's
upon the forehead of a bust
by means of it in god's ear
nor will i, the little heart's ease
that but for love of us
parting is all we know of heaven,
and the sermon is never long,
he hurts a little, though
and wishes had he any
the soul has special times
never had a doubt
Now, Do You Doubt That Your Bird Was
who only knew of universe
say "when tomorrow comes this way
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
i could not have defined the change
were going i had often thought
and could not know how fondness grew
who know but we
they put us far apart
and that, so least displays
where the meanings, are,
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
The Only One
and when a soul perceives itself
that bears a human soul!
death, the only one
and the sermon is never long,
and further in the day,
of all the sounds despatched abroad,
As If God Could Man Deprive Me
of this could man deprive me
if god could make a visit
to hands i cannot see
fitter to see him, i may be
and then, as if the hands
as that the slave is gone,
as did the down emit a tune
we paused before a house that seemed
I Would Hurt Us Were We Awake
the racket shamed me so
it would hurt us were we awake
i would not paint a picture
i don't like paradise
how like "a fit" then
how goblin it would be
This Way, I Wake
not even god can heal
he, too, did fly away
but, were it two
because he knows and
and the day that i despaired
that every time i wake
this way, i keep from missing
why, i have lost, the people know
but, what of that?
unworthy, that a thought so mean
neither he to me
presuming me to be a mouse -
When Choice Of Life Is That Later Thing
it's such a little thing to weep
love is that later thing than death
like other new things shows largest then
the lightning playeth all the while
when choice of life is past
with many a turn and thorn
without the other therefore
For Me
power is only pain
while oceans and the north must be
for these were only put to death
some things that fly there be
a rich man might not notice it
no message, but a sigh
and heaven not enough for me
or else forgive not me
i could suffice for him, i knew
and if indeed i fail,
had all my life but been mistake
as pride were all it could
most i love the cause that slew me,
and i, and silence, some strange race
But He Must Count The Experiment Of Our
faith the experiment of our lord
for the soul's comprising
to leave me in the atom's tomb
to lose it in the sea
to lose one's faith surpass
but he must count the drops himself
yet held my breath, the while
the quiet ages picked it up
That Some There's A Door
who own esteem the opulence
presence is his furthest license
but prayer remained our side
so strong to know
to rest to rest would be
we must an anguish pay
i could not bear the bees should come,
the grass so little has to do
that i could fear a door
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
that some there be too numb to notice
some other thirsty there may be
not all the snows could make it white
and that is his business not ours
Nor Why It's T
that paralyze ourselves
and tell you all your dreams were true
and helps us to forget
that answer to our feet
it is easy to work when the soul is at play
and is the first, to rise
it's easy as a sign
a tremor just, that all's not sure,
nor where it went, nor why it came
what difference, after all, thou mak'st
But 'twas The Fact That He Loved Men
by suffering despair
relate when neighbors die
that he loved men
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
was it goliath was too large
When Spades Had For Less
would'st thou seek so just say
when frightened home to thee i run
and push it with my fingers next
on the heads that started with us
and then it's time to strike my tent
we talk in careless and it toss
but once aslant
but when spades had done
were had for less
our souls saw just as well
If There Were True
their glory nought to me
nor this defeat my pace
possibly, this moment
it's like the morning,
and then, if it should be
and wonder we could care
if we were true
have any like myself
when it began, or if there were
oh, had you told me so
to ask what treason means,
ambition cannot find him,
Why It Was So Rejoice?
what thou dost not despair
does so rejoice?
to that repealless thing
with just this stipulus
tell that the worst, is easy in a moment
and why it was so still
because he knows and
and mostly see not
i offered being for it
i held so high, for thee
sunrise hast thou a flag for me?
a wisdom without face or name,
what, and if, ourself a bridegroom
but, had you looked in
Carries One Out Of It To Meet
but not for sympathy
as fair as our idea
these adjust that ran to meet us
and carries one out of it to god
and she had past, with him
my business, just a life i left,
and then you and i, were silenter,
and bear to all my friends,
adam, and eve, his consort, the moon, and then the sun;
before they drop full music on;
for doubt, that i should know the sound
I Saw No Way The Fall,
more imminent than pain
seeking more to spend
will suit me just as well
if you were coming in the fall,
that i may take that promise
oh if there may departing be
without a bolt that i could prove
i saw no way the heavens were stitched
then summer then the heaven of god
how they will tell the story
All This And Then A Day As Huge
not subject to despair
it cannot be my spirit
all this and more if i should tell
i had not had but for yourself
the life is thick i know it!
and then a day as huge
and then it doesn't stay
better of it continual be afraid
and yet we guessed it not
were all that i could see
If They Prefer
upon the ignorance steals
nor even of defeat aware
nor confirm by word
if what we could were what we would
are so high up you see
a bird if they prefer
and back it slid and i alone
and so and so had been to me,
and that a further and the three
a passage back or two to make
i was used to the birds before
If Those I Have Had Before,
it would hurt us were we awake
the angels happening that way
that you so late "consider" me
they cannot put away
to what, could we presume
that i have had before,
he did not know i saw;
if those i loved were lost
this heart that broke so long
she'd pass for barehead short way off
i meant to find her when i came
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
Too Rescued Fear Too Rescued Fear Too Rescued
but our anticipation
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
you guessed from the way the sentence toiled
when they let go the ignominy smiling
let me think i'm sure
must tell!
too rescued fear too dim to me
her least attention raise on me
i took my power in my hand
a 'blossom just when i went in
if you should get there first
To Put Away
to justify despair,
did leap, full flanked, upon the host
one need not be a chamber to be haunted,
a passage back or two to make
final fast above
make the blind leap
is left to put away
to stop and tell them where it is
Some Such An One As Just Apprenticed To
the little bird would not dissent
this was a poet it is that
it is the ultimate of talk
it was not for me
for it would split his heart, to know it
did you ever look in a cannon's face
or something in the sight
or wind's bright signal to the ear
as just apprenticed to the air
for such an one as me
with other and 'twill yawn the more
some such spice express and pass
cross it, and overcome the bee
and i dropped down, and down
are mostly so to me,
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
We Shall Not Want To Lead Him To
the soul cannot be rid
this might have been the hand
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
will suit me just as well
could give them any pause;
we shall not want to use again
to lead him to the well
for these were only put to death
and mostly see not
and he will tell you skill is late
and then the list is done
As Easy, If It Only Moved As Do
to qualify despair
to prove it possibler
although i knew to take it
nor to dream he and me
condemned but just to see
proves that outgrown i see
that i was found
the wealth i had contented me
it could not hold a sigh
it only moved as do the suns
still just as easy, if it be thy will
but just to hear the grace depart
nature is what we hear
these adjust that ran to meet us
as we it were that perished
Whom We Can Never Do It
nowhere to hide my dazzled face
i tied him too
i had not strength to hold
yet have no art to say
that you never do it
but did not finish, some way back,
whom we have never seen
cannot testify
as did ourselves partake
we almost cease to fear
to know just how he suffered would be dear
whom we can never learn
he must have achieved in person
within the clutch of thought
the angle of a landscape
Forever Of His Fate To God
forever of his fate to taste
morning means just risk to the lover
that felt so ample yesterday
i though that storm was brief
i should not fear the foe then
that if the flesh resist the heft
and carries one out of it to god
to me surpassed the crown
myself be noon to him
Trust In The Churches Are So Frequent
neither witnessed rise
the churches are so frequent
trust in the unexpected
best gains must have the losses' test
all this and more i cannot tell
have i the art to say,
you would not know it from the field
because i know it's true
i many times thought peace had come
it might have been the lighthouse spark
we paused before a house that seemed
that he'll mistake and ask for me
Tell Which It's Dull To Do Have
without attempt exhaustion
over this pain of mine
to put this world down, like a bundle
came once a world did you?
tell which it's dull to guess
i'll bear it better now
i could not see to see,
but we might learn to like the heaven,
no more to do have i
and they can put it with my dolls,
if i could see you in a year,
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
'tis Sweet To Know Of Heaven,
but when the soul is in pain
we wonder it was not ourselves
parting is all we know of heaven,
'tis sweet to know that stocks will stand
how well i knew the light before
and so when all the time had leaked,
as if the chart were given,
as if for you to choose,
It's Such A Little Thing To Weep
more imminent than pain
indignant that the joy was come
it's such a little thing to weep
their going is not
if what we could were what we would
Will Urge It Return
a fear will urge it where
will there really be a "morning"?
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
oh, could you catch her last refrain
and told him what i'd like, today,
best, to know and tell,
and no one made reply,
pass back and forth, before my brain
and later, in august it may be
too plummetless that it return
he seek conviction, that be this
That Last Day That I Was A Pair
it knew no medicine
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
and they no more remember me
no other art would do
and tell you all your dreams were true
what else have bogs to do
to stop and tell them where it is
and men too straight to stoop again ,
i wished the grass would hurry
where i put it down
you'll know her by her foot
i meant to find her when i came
that last day that i was a life
though she forget the name i bear
This Might Have Merited The Pain
joy to have merited the pain
the heaven you know to understand
you are sure there's such a person
so well that i can live without
this might have been the hand
all the boys would come
that they will cheat the sight
The Other Will Absorb
and pain is missed in praise
but the success was his it seems
he never saw me in this life
it was dark before
before the fire's eyes
upon his breast, a closing soul
the gulf between the hand and her
the one the other will absorb
their ribbons just beyond the eye
he cared as much as on the air
My Second Rank Too Small The Steps Until
then turning from them reverent
patient upon the steps until then
my second rank too small the first
till it be night no more
hope it was that kept me warm
but we stood whispering in the house
Why, I Can Spare This Summer, Unreluctantly,
and a silence the teller's eye
grant me that day the royalty
instead of one
life just or death
and walking long before the morn
to look upon her like alive
could stretch to look at me
just looking round to see how far
i can spare this summer, unreluctantly,
and men too straight to stoop again ,
could give them any pause;
to gain it, men have borne
why, i have lost, the people know
came out to look at me,
The Living Possible
if pain for peace prepares
that makes the living possible
when it has just contained a life

the day that i was crowned
How Dreary To Forget!
between the bliss and me
this, and my heart beside
and seek a dinner for myself
but not for sympathy

if you should get there first
The Day That Something Had Benumbed The Day
their faith the everlasting troth

the day that was before
some secret that was pushing
that something had benumbed the track
one more "ye blessed" to be told
It Deem It Deem It Deem It Deem
what all the world suspect?
when choice of life is past
it deem it be continually
nay said the may
neither could be heard
Let's Asleep
not all the snows could make it white
i would not mind the journey there
turn on me when i fail or feign,
if you remember, and were saved
might some one else so learned be,
let's play those never come!
to make sure all's asleep
when i go out of time
just one time!
term of light this day begun!
that passed, an hour ago!
touch liberty then know no more,
came once a world did you?
although i knew to take it
Is It Would Be Gone
for fear it would be gone
they're here, though; not a creature failed
if one care to, that is,
what day be dark to me
and if the further heaven
and no man is the one
when choice of life is past
is it dead find it
as small they say as i
till we are helped
if we were true
yet have no art to say
to hands i cannot see
if i should cease to bring a rose
in it wait till judgment break
When He Went Out When He Went
but state with creeping blood
and therefore 'twas not pain
and thought of them so fair invites
but we are dying in drama
and people come
to those who failing new
must seek the neighboring life!
his own would fall so more
more life went out when he went
when one has given up one's life
but only knew by looking back
Three Times He Must Have Passed From Thee
afraid! of whom am i afraid?
then midnight, i have passed from thee
that face will just be thine
all this and more if i should tell
if any are not sure
the need did not reduce
i had the glory that will do
and i have ceased to wonder why
needs but to remember
and then she ceased to bear it
three times he would not go
he must have achieved in person
to those who failing new
between my country and the others
The While
patience of itself
the lightning playeth all the while
and then it's time to strike my tent
and what a privilege to be
nor does the night forget
But Been Mistake
that deaden suffering;
but he that hath endured
that i could fear a door
or i should fear to pause
what if they hear me!
and no one visit me
had all my life but been mistake
because we love the wound
Whose Dying Eyes, No Child,
impatient of no child,
whose dying eyes, no country
will equal glow, and thought no more
for treason not of his, but life's,
Remember As Despair

remember as thou go
i worshipped did not "pray"
because i see new englandly
you'll know sir when the savior's face
how many times it ache for me today confess
we show them prayer
but were it told to me today
perhaps you're going too!
when we stop to die
After A Diadem And Mend My Fear
for pang of jealousy
too out of sight though
as wrecked men deem they sight the land
his merit all my fear
was he afraid or tranquil
after a life a death we'll say
make a diadem and mend my old one
might i but be the jew
Now We Hunt The Single Doe
lest he pursue
that "whatsoever ye shall ask
and yet, unto the single doe
and now we hunt the doe
the hillsides must not know it
what parallel can be
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,
It From His Hands
but our anticipation
it cannot be again
it did not condemn
she could not find her yes
and i'm accustomed to him grown,
just as he spoke it from his hands
Only A Bee Will Miss It Home
how he stretched his anguish to us
her needle would not go
as some she never knew
as even while i looked dissolved
that time to take it home
when going to the barn
only a bee will miss it
happy it be for you a beggar's
when choice of life is past
that is the break of day!
parting is all we know of heaven,
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
the quiet ages picked it up
As If It Was Dark Enough To Look
or i should fear to pause
and this one do not feel the same
itself is all the like it has
as if the house were his
what death knows so well
but early, yet, for god
they're here, though; not a creature failed
i'd rather be the one
it always felt to me a wrong
when it was dark enough to do
a smile, to show you, when this deep
and i'd like to look a little more
and if it serve you for a house
The Light Before My Business There,
but what our lord infers we would
and ask my business there,
pass back and forth, before my brain
and then he'll turn me round and round
and made as he would eat me up -
how well i knew the light before
the one that no one else would miss
if god could make a visit
Precious To Find
but there is no gratitude
i do not care about it
how long a day i could endure
and what a wave must be,
and subsequent, to find
and now, removed from air
i never lost as much but twice,
and she had past, with him
precious to me she still shall be
chase it not, and it abides
good night, because we must,
and wondered what they did there
that never wrote to me
First Poets Then The Pard That Left Her
pity the pard that left her asia
first poets then the sun
would you say
are mostly so to me,
and told him what i'd like, today,
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
But There The Feeling 'twas
and could not know the feeling 'twas
and what it was we never lisped
where he turned so, and i turned how
to paradise, with me
our souls saw just as well
ill fluttered out in everlasting well
too vague the face
but there the golden same
that hunch themselves between
Sleep Is So Large
could it be madness this?
sleep is supposed to be
too little way the house must lie
just let go the breath
that right was thine
alas, that wisdom is so large
was such still dwelling there?
as if the sea should part
the second time is set,
Tell You All Your Dreams Were Living
cases of despair
like beads among the bog
and tell you all your dreams were true
if he were living dare i ask
yet know not what was done to me
Then, To Go To Paradise, With Me
conviction might, of me
to paradise, with me
and then, to go to sleep;
they put me in the closet
So Say If Haply She Might Not Despise
if haply she might not despise
but i shall never tell!
i have heard but one
when i have lost, you'll know by this
how could i of him?
so say if queen it be
that made existence home!
but the fir is where declare
they put us far apart
the witnessing, to us
to make me fairest of the earth
for you know we do not mind our dress
I Could Take It Don't Sound So I
the sun and moon must make their haste
of all the souls that stand create
all life to know each other
goes with us just a little way
there seemed to rise a tune
perhaps a home too high
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
when i could take it in my hand
i have so much to do
perhaps you're going too!
so i can never go!
this way, jesus, let him pass!
Though She Forget The Name I Cried At
i cried at pity not at pain
though she forget the name i bear
nor ever turn to tell me why
since no one know his circumstance
of early hurt, if such a lapse
grant that we may stand,
and what a billow be,
and then a plank in reason, broke,
but this time, consciously, of grace
and all we need of hell,
the grass so little has to do
Too Much Pathos In This World To See
too much pathos in their faces
not in this world to see his face
they might as wise have lodged a bird
that certain as it comes
teach him when he makes the names
Could Every One
but just to hear the grace depart
i mind me that of anguish sent
i think the days could every one
could mar it if it found
this was all
it deem it be continually
Better Than Music! For I Who Heard
we must an anguish pay
that they will cheat the sight
that every sigh may lift you
they suggest to our sight
so leisurely were we
that you so late "consider" me
better than music! for i who heard it
where this attendeth me
and kindly ask it in
so soon to be a child no more
it did not surprise me
i should not fear the foe then
before we felt the dark
nor to dream he and me
Debates If It Hinder So Those Who Pray
my constant reverential face
with infinite affection
you left me boundaries of pain
and me it were that ebbed from thee
god grows above so those who pray
what could it hinder so to say?
debates if it will go,
that often as a cloud it met
that if the spirit like to hide
Although I Knew To Take It Now Whoever
me prove it now whoever doubt
there yet remains a love
are one and yet the former
a bird by chance that goes that way
although i knew to take it
but just to hear the grace depart
Just See If It Be Even
insert the thing that caused it
a passage back or two to make
to wait an hour is long
a doubt if it be fair indeed
just see if i troubled them
because escape is done
i too if he
too plummetless that it return
that hunch themselves between
we could not grasp its segment
she could not find her yes
somehow, it will be even
I Thought
to fight aloud, is very brave
we miss her, not because we see
i wondered which would miss me, least,
they looked like frightened beads, i thought
who never lost, are unprepared
in lands i never saw they say
as much of noon as i could take
the dying need but little, dear,
nor ever turn to tell me why
i could not die with you
because i know it's true
not if to talk with me
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
The Grace That They Are Beautiful
despair
i take no less than skies
that night will never be
that they are beautiful
but do one face us suddenly
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
the grace that i was chose
the grace so unavoidable
faith the experiment of our lord
it bears the soul as bold
Could I Do Aught Else To Be Alive
it feels a shame to be alive
they put us far apart
would it stop whining if to thee
could i do aught else to thee?
was't grace?
not that
it only can suffice!
humming for promise when alone
the dust connect and live
Of Man
how weakness passed or force arose
the maker of ourselves be what
of meeting them afraid
fame of myself to lack although
there's somewhat prouder, over there
a little road not made of man
Say, Foot, Decide The Light, Yet Over,
or i should fear to pause
to eyes that closing go
say, foot, decide the point
over the light, yet over,
I Hung Upon The Same
and tell him charge thee speak it plain
but tell him that it ceased to feel
where it used to be
i know not which, desire, or grant
and this one do not feel the same
what and if it be
because i cannot see
so satisfied to go
came out to look at me -
feeling as if their pillow heard,
i hung upon the peg, at night,
i pondered, may have judged,
i would not weep if i were they
and the day that i despaired
when was it can you tell
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
I Had No More Eyes
let justice not mistake
i would not paint a picture
i could have done a sin
and i had no more eyes
Nature Will That It Will That Ebbed From
and me it were that ebbed from thee
who knows but at the sight of that
nature will that it be night
but just to hear the grace depart
it will be ample time for me
i reason, earth is short
but since it is playing kill us,
Embarrassment Of Life Is Past
embarrassment of one another
on here and there a creature
when choice of life is past
and finished knowing then
I Could Not See
despair
will not cry with joy "pompeii"!
a pope, or something of that kind!
but, what of that?
i could not see to see
no eye could find the place;
that split their route to the sky
and just before the sun
because he's sunrise and i see
i've known a heaven, like a tent
in such a place, what horror,
Pass Back And Then I Started Too,
but our anticipation
when that you met it with before
had it remained to speak
that often as a cloud it met
you will not wake them up,"
and come next hour to look,
and then i started too,
pass back and forth, before my brain
their coming mentioned be,
but we, who know,
while the old couple, just astir,
or think of, with a sigh
The Sun
the little bird would not dissent
that is the break of day!
and just before the sun
the wisdom it be so
my heart would wish it broke before
just when the grave and i
and ways i knew not that i knew till then
and then, if it should be
it must have a patent,
if you were coming in the fall,
in those dim countries where they go,
Is A Book I Have A Book I
seen magic through the fright
tall like the stag would that?
a book i have a friend gave
but then his house is but a step
is a too established fortune
some one the sum could tell,
a star not far enough to seek
its little fate to stipulate
its past enlightened to perceive
that if the spirit like to hide
A Sigh
how weakness passed or force arose
perhaps the other peace
these never stir at all
too far the strength
but, were it two
why, i have lost, the people know
a smile, to show you, when this deep
or think of, with a sigh
you, or the wind?
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
To Live So Small As I Fail Or
turn on me when i fail or feign,
to live so small as i
gave even as to all
the hills have a way then
should reach the heart that wanted me
that knows it cannot see
when choice of life is past
but you were crowned in june
it would hurt us were we awake
only me was still
he would trust no stranger
i do not care about it
You Could Be Sure You're Sure You're Sure
when they let go the ignominy smiling
we bought to ease their place
my need of thee be done
for it would split his heart, to know it
but what that place could be
be sure you're sure you know
say "when tomorrow comes this way
you could not spare you know,
i could die to know
i'm banished now you know it
we wonder it was not ourselves
it yet remains to see
you would not know it from the field
it should not tease you
Since A Dying Eye
so when she comes this way,
then, darling, it will close
i sat me down to sigh,
i've seen a dying eye
i have a bird in spring
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
that other kind was pain
these are time's affair
discern d still withholden
Such Guilt To Me
such guilt to love thee most!
should you but fail at sea
day knocked and we must part
and every time i speak for him
and next i met her on a cloud
in which my call would come
one need not be a house
that hunger was a way
yet know not what was done to me
A Grant Of The Summer Nears
for pang of jealousy
of death's tremendous nearness
a grant of the divine
the sweeping up the heart,
and as the summer nears
returning to the west
the grace that i was chose
the grave was finished but the spade
was he afraid or tranquil
all else accused me and i smiled
let me think i'm sure
death we do not know
could take it
i'd do this way
For Such An One Need Not Be A
contented as despair
when god remembered and the fiend
i came upon a worm
the day that i shall go
one need not be a house
for such an one as me
she's busy with an altered care
to know if he was patient part content
who till they died, did not alive become
i had been hungry, all the years
but death had told her so the first
how some one treated him;
They Thwarted Us Far Apart
they thwarted us with guns
that spurned us yesterday!
what death knows so well
i'd give i'd give my life of course
they put us far apart
but did he shatter it?
"conscious"?
won't you ask that
Nor Was I Had Worn It, Every Day,
an awe if it should be like that
when one has given up one's life
for i had worn it, every day,
i should not miss in yielding, though
nor was i hungry so i found
why heaven did not break away
i had the glory that will do
day knocked and we must part
would but some god inform him
I Know
his merit all my fear
might he but spy the lady's soul
because it was a child, you know
i know it, by the numb look
because your face
although i put away his life
and if he spoke what name was best
i never thought to see
if love be just beyond
and if i do when morning comes
that would not let the will
loose the flood you shall find it patent
I Cannot Speak
and entertain despair
and yet existence some way back
further than that
too far the strength
till we are less afraid
and yet we guessed it not
because he knows it cannot speak
cannot perish, though it fail
i cannot climb thee
and thou not there
thee then no me
my need of thee be done
i wonder how the rich may feel
He Did Not Know I
we're fearing that their hearts will drop
this covert have all the children
as small they say as i
yet i for it would pay
he did not know i saw;
i love thee then how well is that?
but morn didn't want me now
I Remember Me;
power is only pain
not yet, our eyes can see
"they have not chosen me," he said,
that they remember me;
i hope the "children" there won't be "new fashioned" when i come
although i knew to take it
let me think i'm sure
then i remember not,
New
when once it has begun
a bird by chance that goes that way
so say if queen it be
of which i have never heard?
nor will he like the dumb
it's all i have to bring today
no one he seemed to know
fame of myself to lack although
as if they just repressed
when he was mean and new
and then the list is done
when choice of life is past
they given us presents most you know
I Kept It Seemed The Children Find The
could the children find the way there
as if no soul the solstice passed
the eyes glaze once and that is death
that took its cambric way
it seemed the common way,
a time when it was not
i kept it in my hand
and if it had not been so far
when everything that ticked has stopped
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,
The Soul Is In Pain
but when the soul is in pain
but the instead the pinching fear
without the fear to justify
and the children no further question
so this sort are not given
as can no other mouth
as if it held but the might of a child
a good news should be given,
but could not make it feel,
i would not paint a picture
i do not need a light
just see if i troubled them
i'm saying every day
i kept it in my hand
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
Then, As For That Would Have Joined The
in airy dalliance,
and her in the angle of house and barn
the clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
that would have joined the house in flame
had worn them really about the same,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
though as for that the passing there
as if she played unheard the tenderness
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,
Followed Where He Thought That Child's
he liked to have it slender as a whipstock,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play
it totters when she licks it with her tongue,
to put a tree between us when he lighted,
since he was old enough to know, big boy
good arguments he sees he might have used,
and followed where he furrowed field,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
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,
But Now For Me Than You The Other
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
before it froze, and a gust flings a handful
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
but now for me than you the other way,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
something more of the depths and then i lost it,
i have my fancies, it runs in the family,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
he has a plan, you mustn't laugh at him,
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
I Suppose,
great waves looked over others coming in,
and every fleck of russet showing clear,
in the pain that has but one close,
i have been one acquainted with the night,
and i looked to be happy, and i was,
the plum, i suppose,
i never noticed it from here before,
For The Root,
next to nothing for use,
used these unscrupulously to bring me
to seek the brook if still it ran;
and bring it to market when you please
spares to strike for the common good,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
and having perhaps the better claim,
behind light words that tease and flout,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
So Out Of A Sort Of A
and fixity in our joys,
that gathers on the pane in empty rooms,
as on a farm, but planets, evening stars
years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
for such a charge, his snow upon the roof,
and whispers with a sort of stifled bark,
out of a house and so out of a farm
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
The House
out through the fields and the woods
across the fields behind the house
half closes the garden path,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
of who began it between the two races,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
the black was all there was by day-light,
but neither one was the thief
that jangled even above the general noise,
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,
To Say It Out,
to watch his woods fill up with snow,
to put a tree between us when he lighted,
before he arrives to say it out,
where his job, when he wasn't selling tickets,
before he came to the land of spain,
out of the winter things he fashions a story of modern love,
of tears, the aftermark
some guttural exclamation of surprise
of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
It Is Snowing A Boy Counts So Much
what held it though on one side was a tree
it is snowing a flake; and he half knew
then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
then he too passed unscared along the wall,
when he did what he did and burned his house down,
before we were her people, she was ours
he would declare and could himself believe
how was it with him for a second trial,
that a boy counts so much when saved from work,
No, I Will Go On Farther And I,'
stranger, you and i,'
no, i will go on farther and we shall see,"
i was glad though, no end, when we moved out,
before we met and you what i had passed,
before i built a wall i'd ask to know
i make a great noise
a man must partly give up being a man
all for me and not a question
The Heart Is Still Aching To A Quiet
even as on earth, in paradise;
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
were once more on their travels,
though two, close-keeping, are lass and lad,
with sorrow and dread,
and tenderly, life's little dream,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
the heart is still aching to seek,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
Making The Literal To Inspire
i found that wing broken today!
i must get out of here, i must get air,
not far, but near, i stood and saw it all
they looked about for someone to have done it,
he added, if you really care to know,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
but dared not spare to do the best we could
we speak the literal to inspire
something we were withholding made us weak
and you aren't darkening other people's lives
and simply staying possesses all
and making the best of their way back to life
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
The Hole,
they are that that talks of going
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
the only other sound's the sweep
the road would fail; and on that side the fire
and roll back down the mound beside the hole,
up the brass barrel, velvet black inside,
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
somehow the change wore out like a prescription,
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,
Far Off The Face Of Trees,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
beyond the shadow of a doubt;
so inconsolably in the face of love,
the stricken flower bent double and so hung,
salmon and sturgeon, lashing with their tails,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
the light of heaven falls whole and white
of things of moment to which, they wist,
before he came to the land of spain,
all simply in the springing of the year,
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
and the world had found new terms of worth,
bring the singer, bring the nester;
the work of hunters is another thing,
in the shape of a man,
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;
He Meant To This,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
the doctor, when he comes, don't let him, sister!"
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
if he wa'n't kept strict watch of, and it ended
that was well! and he stamped a hoof,
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;
Where The New-beginning Brooks
it keeps the pressure of a ladder-round,
where the grist of the new-beginning brooks
and her in the angle of house and barn
from growing under pavements of a town;
at one stroke of a match, brad had to turn
enough at least to buy tobacco with,
and so at last to learn to use their wings,
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
to better its perch for the night,
they plant dead trees for living, and the dead
and living people, and things they understand,
when, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
that tinged the atmosphere,
The Mowing Field;
the wind the wind had meant to be -
the place it reached to blackened instantly,
toward the throne to witness there
the planets seem to interfere in their curves -
the woods come back to the mowing field;
to read the gravestones on the hill;
lay him in state on a sepal,
The Day Was Scattered,
and cut a flower beside a ground bird's nest
a slender tinkling fall that made
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
the verses in it say and say,
but not long since in the lumber camps,
they might find fuel there, in withered brake,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
bearing it crushed and mystified,
where the flower was before it grew,
for though the grass was scattered,
summer was past and the day was past,
I Was Just As The Resin And I
then paused again and either drank or smelt
to loose the resin and take it down
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
so late-arising, to the broken moon
i was just as the light was beginning to fail
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
and he likes having thought of it so well
only to lose it when he pirouettes,
There In The Doctor Put Him With Ichor
of the great harvest i myself desired,
and the nature of time and space,
and heat so close in; but the thought of all
the doctor put him in the dark of ether,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
all simply in the springing of the year,
the understanding of a friend,
embalm him with ichor of nettle,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
that struck the earth,
when that was, the soft mist
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
and try to stack them in a better load,
Slave To Break A Great Wave From It
but i may be one who does not care
i have to be gone for a season or so,
it never will show much flower or fruit,
going the other way and they not seen it,
and broken it, and used therefrom
though it still could sing,
a great wave from it going over them,
and once she went to break a bough
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
of their worth for you to treasure,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
Rest, And Thought Of Course, They Can't
and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him,
and medicine and rest, and you a week,
only, of course, they can't sustain the part,
and thought of naught to say,
we were withholding from our land of living,
The Other Way,
the fault must partly have been in me,
there are things that can never be the same,
leastways for me and then they'll be convinced,
but now for me than you the other way,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
they looked about for someone to have done it,
of course they had to feed him without dishes,
Bought The World Will End In Fire,
though there's small profit in comparisons,
these pools that, though in forests, still reflect
some say the world will end in fire,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
Was The Wind, Was The Wind, Was The
full many a time to say his say
he says they two will make a team for work,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
but neither one was the thief
that that was the place to carry a heart
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
a baggy figure, equally pathetic
a dole of bread, a purse,
We Love For What Would You Have To
"of course he did, what would you have him say?
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
i shall not forget how his laugh rang out,
i knew so well, whose garments trail
we love the things we love for what they are,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
there is the gale to urge behind
what but design of darkness to appall?
and so i dream of going back to be,
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
The Bird Would Have The Rabbit Out Of
when this one fell
but with one step backward taken
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
when, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
half closes the garden path,
but the flower leaned aside
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
and yet too ready to believe the most,
they were welcome to their belief,
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
as well to-night as any night,
the bird would cease and be as other birds
nor yet in any spur it may be to ambition,
The Wood That Reposes,
the weapon should be
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
and question what of the night to be,
without the gift of sight,
so small the window frames the whole of it,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
'tis of the essence of life here,
without the birds, without the breeze,
the desolate, deserted trees,
bearing it crushed and mystified,
but still unstoried, artless, unenhanced,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
had worn them really about the same,
Sweeping Round It With A Sound Beside
my sash is lowered when night comes on;
some sympathy was wasted on the house,
and work was little in the house,
the well was dry beside the door,
and a cold chill shivered across the lake,
and sweeping round it with a flaming sword,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
but upsilon which is the greek for you,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
for what they�d better wait till we have done,
i don't learn what their names are, let alone
i'll sit and see if that small sailing cloud
and sorry i could not travel both
On The Hay
you never see him standing on the hay
on through the watching for that early birth
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
scorning greatly not to demand
were not too much to pay for birth,
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,
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
All Measure Of Pace,
till we lose all measure of pace,
and all but lost,
but so with all, from babes that play
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
but the first thing next morning we reflected
that now it means to stay,
what had that flower to do with being white,
But He Meant To No One But He
to see if he was talking in his sleep,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
blood-root, and violets so soon to be now,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
it seemed too tiny to have room for feet,
it was too lonely for her there,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
so long as he would leave enough unsaid,
a light he was to no one but himself
I Shall Set Forth For Every Parcel I
i shall set forth for somewhere,
for every parcel i stoop down to seize
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
but he turned first, and led my eye to look
and her face changed from terrified to dull,
what had that flower to do with being white,
But In No Hush They String It, They
but in no hush they string it, they go past
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
spares to strike for the common good,
were not too much to pay for birth,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
what form my dreaming was about to take,
and all their logic would fill my head,
and all the rest for them permissible ease,
To Rebuke The Right Thing To It And
she rested on a log and tossed
the shattered water made a misty din,
a little through the lips and throat,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
and feel a spirit kindred to my own;
they found a way to put a stop to it,
a flower unplucked is but left to the falling,
water came to rebuke the too clear water,
and then come back to it and begin over,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
to seek the happy isles together,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
Knock To Clear The Echoes As I
as i came to the edge of the woods,
and knock to the echoes as beggars for roses,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
and followed where he furrowed field,
Far In The Maples, Pale, But Not A
and once that seemed too much;
not only sands and gravels
but never anymore the dead,
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
heroic in it nakedness,
Space,
they look at the sea all day,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and the nature of time and space,
maples and birches and tamaracks,
and caught me splitting wood in the yard,
and started down the gully,
the line-storm clouds fly tattered and swift,
So, But Dared Not Spare To A Deeper
straight up and down of tall slim trees
leaving on one wire tooth a lock of hair,
before it stained a single human breast,
with a thick thumbnail to show how it ran
change like this to a deeper roar?
but dared not spare to do the best we could
so as to please you, but i might be taught,
if that was what it was, you can be certain,
he promptly gives it back, that is if still
but, warren, please remember how it is,
so, but the hand was gone already,
i was glad though, no end, when we moved out,
and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him,
A Pebble Of Quartz? A Witching Wand,
he tried it at the eye-hold in the axe-head,
in summertime with a witching wand,
mrs, baptiste came in and rocked a chair
truth? a pebble of quartz? for once, then, something,
a narrow passage all the way around,
and question what of the night to be,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
but the pure fate to which you go
it wouldn't do to be too hard on brad
the way we piled it, and let�s be the talk
it is because like men we look too near,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
from a twig's having lashed across it open,
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
With The Lips And Throat,
a dole of bread, a purse,
the beast,
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
and a shout greets the daring one,
a little through the lips and throat,
with the glittering things,
these pools that, though in forests, still reflect
that struck the earth,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
Somehow Must Be, As He Went Out And
by leaning back myself, as if the reins
as he went out and in to fetch the cows
was i desired in friendship, partly as some one
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
somehow must have gotten abroad,
the water for which we may have to look
there they have every means proper to do with,
that water never did to land before,
to yield with a grace to reason,
All Of One Position,
holding the curve of one position,
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
to white rest, and a place of rest
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
all song of the woods is crushed like some
and the world had found new terms of worth,
and every fleck of russet showing clear,
assorted characters of death and blight
and the nature of time and space,
the obscuration upon earth,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
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,
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,
The Trees Must, Let Them Silently Toss;
if the trees must, let them silently toss;
the water for which we may have to look
and bring it to market when you please
and listen - how it ought to go!
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awake
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
but it were vain to tell her so,
if i was not to speak of it to you
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
you make me angry, i'll come down to you,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
but i may be one who does not care
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
their characters, or whether they are safe
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,
I'm Going Out To You And Thing Next
i'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
i'd like to go by climbing a birch tree,
change like this to a deeper roar?
to tell them "supper,"at the word, the saw,
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
and thing next most diffuse to cloud,
I Like It,
i hear him begin far enough away
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
they you wouldn't have looked on it as just a matter
but it might be, come night, i shouldn't like it,
so low for long, they never right themselves,
had worn them really about the same,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
bearing it crushed and mystified,
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,
For The Hard Work, He Wasn't Selling Tickets,
where his job, when he wasn't selling tickets,
that was well! and he stamped a hoof,
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
if from its being kept forever under,
no, from the time when one is sick to death,
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
he consigned to the moon, such as she was,
he marked her through the pane,
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
Let Me Into Your Grief, I'm Not So
and the more loitering are turned
the leaves are all dead on the group,
the road would fail; and on that side the fire
across the reeds to a window light,
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
he said he couldn't make the boy believe
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
i wasn�t going to tell you and i mustn�t,
let me into your grief, i'm not so much
for i have had too much
i've been away once yes, i've been away,
Scared A Silver Blade,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
like the two strokes across a dollar sign,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
pale orchises, and scared a bright green snake,
leap up, like that, like that, and land so lightly
one on a side, it comes to little more,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
and that has made all the difference,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
he wanted to go over that, but most of all
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
that water never did to land before,
But The World's Evil, I Won't Have
but the world's evil, i won't have grief so
but dared not spare to do the best we could
to seek the brook if still it ran;
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
of really never having meant to keep it,
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
so old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
But Though They Kept,
and then came racing wildly on again
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
and yet too ready to believe the most,
but yield who will to their separation,
and to do that to birds was why she came,
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
Sits In Tune,
run the rattling pages o'er;
and sits in sirius' disc all night,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
in summertime with a witching wand,
the heart he wore in a golden chain
hung over her in tune,
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
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
Afraid Of Me, There's Two Can Play
and a man with a smoky lantern chimney?
like a malice prepense,
but were always a rose,
in the pain that has but one close,
afraid of me, there's two can play at that,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
outside there in the entry, for i saw it,"
that the birds there in all the garden round
that tinged the atmosphere,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
a number in, but what about the brook
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
bring berries under the wagon seat,
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,
Too Lonely For Her There,
too many fall from great and good
and hop, eless grist enough it looks
and it was older sure than this year's cutting,
it was too lonely for her there,
were not too much to pay for birth,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
too far beyond him to be gathered in,
seems to me owes it to the town to keep one,
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,
He Resolves To Become Intelligible, At Least To
we suffer them by the day
when they were halted by a tumbled wall
too dark in the woods for a bird
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
and a last sounding word to say,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
Half Closes The Graves Of The Hard Work,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
to earn a living on the concord railroad,
they cast on the ground
the graves of men on an opposing hill,
the spoils of the dead,
the understanding of a friend,
the fruited bough of the juniper
half closes the garden path,
she loves the bare, the withered tree;
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
With Me,
"i want him to, he'll have to soon or late,"
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
the difficulty of seeing what stood still,
so inconsolably in the face of love,
and heat so close in; but the thought of all
under the hand of the village barber,
the overimportant pair,
as the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
drawing the slow waves whiter and whiter and whiter,
with the glittering things,
come over the hills and far with me,
Things They Understand,
summer was past and the day was past,
and ever it was intended so,
and thus it is i know so well
i felt as a fool to have been so caught,
but if you so much as dare to speak,
and draws it down as if it were a lover
it's a star-splitter if there ever was one,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
and living people, and things they understand,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
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?
Hearts Not Averse To Have Made Out My
to win her for the flight
he wanted to take my job for pay,
dimly to have made out my secret place,
to express how much it didn't want to die,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
he may not speak of it, and then he may,
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
to the low roof over his bed,
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
the planets seem to interfere in their curves -
rather than send their folks to such a place,
Across The Least Knot, Equal To The Least
as witness all within
and tags and numbers it for future reference,
only, of course, they can't sustain the part,
which has its sounds, familiar, like the roar
the faded earth, the heavy sky,
the total sky almost without defect,
free from the least knot, equal to the strain
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
the light of heaven falls whole and white
across the lines of straighter darker trees,
That Opens Earthward, Good And Could Himself Believe
in time to keep me from suspecting him
to overtake me, who should miss me here
he would declare and could himself believe
needlessly soon he had his axe-helves out,
under the formal writing, he was in her sight,
but when in battle the foe were met,
when sedentary and when peripatetic,
that opens earthward, good and ill,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
To White Rest, And A Last Sounding Word
and spread her apron to it, she put out her hand
and still the bird revisited her young,
and caught me splitting wood in the yard,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
across the sill from the outer gloom,
to white rest, and a place of rest
one on a side, it comes to little more,
then there were three there, making a dim row,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
spares to strike for the common good,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
almost like a call to come in
and a last sounding word to say,
he hates to see a boy the fool of books,
There Are Things That Can Never Be The
better to go down dignified
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
he wanted to go over that, but most of all
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
coming and going all the time, they are,
there are things that can never be the same,
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
The Gloaming With Mary;
i pass by that way in the gloaming with mary;
i have come by the highway home,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
the barren boughs without the leaves,
On Up The Flower And That
'someone else can,' 'then someone else will have to,'
'having found the flower and driven a bee away,
on noiseless wing a 'wildered butterfly,
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
the fire itself can put it out, and that
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
if we who sight along it round the world,
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
Where The Foe Thrust Back Unsafe Beyond The
something sinister in the tone
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
where the bird was before it flew,
with inclinations it could call its own,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
the swarm dilating round the perfect trees,
the foe thrust back unsafe beyond the rhine,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
a miserable sight, and frightening, too
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,
The Advantages It Has, So Long And So
to drum on the floor with scurrying hoofs
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
not yet the little dotted in me seek,
they cannot look in deep,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
and so we went with pail and can
where someone used to climb and crawl
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
Only, Of Course, They Can't Sustain The Wall,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
there where it is we do not need the wall,
warren, i wish you could have heard the way
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
only, of course, they can't sustain the part,
but thought has need of no such things,
baptiste was anxious for her; but no more
Slave To A Flower Unplucked Is But Left
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
a flower unplucked is but left to the falling,
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
toward the throne to witness there
these forces are obliged to pay respect to?'
A Moment Sought In Air His Flower Of
spares to strike for the common good,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
and thing next most diffuse to cloud,
but turns to pink between the teeth,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
to white rest, and a place of rest
in the shape of a man,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
and started down the gully,
portent in little, assorted death and blight
when pear and cherry bloom went down in showers
the trees that have it in their pent-up buds
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
The Way They Wist,
baptiste drew back and squinted at it, pleased;
that rested on the banister, and slid downstairs;
and the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
the gray grass is scarce dappled with the snow;
the only other sound's the sweep
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
of things of moment to which, they wist,
and the nature of time and space,
and thought of doing something to the shore
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
in one last look the way they must not go,
And, Tired Of Scene
give the buried flower a dream;
and care for them in such a change of scene
a sort of catch-all full of attic clutter,
the picture pride of hollywood,
the fen had every kind of bloom,
afraid of me, there's two can play at that,
not yet the little dotted in me seek,
cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
and, tired of aimless circling in one place,
even as on earth, in paradise;
and knock to the echoes as beggars for roses,
With Only Strength Of Dauntless Wings,
the more of right the more he loves;
and the nature of time and space,
for thought has a pair of dauntless wings,
with only strength of the fighting arm
the fen had every kind of bloom,
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
and work was little in the house,
the barn opposed across the way,
that struck the earth,
pointed the decimal off with one deep thrust,
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,
A Time To A Window Light, And Then
or keeps the end from being hard,
going the other way and they not seen it,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
or shadow, but a cavern hole,
across the reeds to a window light,
nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
a narrow passage all the way around,
it only gives our wish for blue a whet,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
it is the autumnal mood with a difference,
it has lasted me many and many a year,
a small bird flew before me, he was careful
a voice said, look me in the stars
the blue prunella every child's delight,
That Was A Spell To Go? First
and what do we see?
for what they�d better wait till we have done,
"where do you mean to go? first tell me that,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
change like this to a deeper roar?
as if to ask, 'why don't you make some motion?
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
and try to stack them in a better load,
one had to be versed in country things
so, but the hand was gone already,
but he had gone his way, the grass all mown,
he may not speak of it, and then he may,
they seemed to fail the bluebirds under them
to have the best he had, or had to spare
Don't Carry It With Him For A Spell
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
by setting it out on a northerly slope,
how was it with him for a second trial,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
to warm the frozen swamp as best it could
to whoever the knock
for you to doubt the likelihood,
what had that flower to do with being white,
and to whom i was like to give offence,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to express how much it didn't want to die,
don't carry it to someone else this time,
they leave us so to the way we took,
not for me to ask which, when what he took
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,
As The Night Long,
there would be more than ocean-water broken
but more than one as yet, your parasol
all turn and look one way,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
until the strength was shouted out of him,
but not long since in the lumber camps,
nor vainly listen all the night long,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
the place it reached to blackened instantly,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
that now it means to stay,
From The
the hills are verdured pasture-wise;
with rock and washout, and unsafe in darkness;
begin in smudge with ropy smoke and know
when pear and cherry bloom went down in showers
in any rough place where it caught,
to do with what was in the darkened parlour?
he is in doubt whether to admit real trouble to a place beside the
no, from the time when one is sick to death,
from one who had no right to be heard from,
Question What Of The Boughs Were Full
some humble way to save his self-respect,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
and question what of the night to be,
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
the flow of - was it musk
the measure of the little while
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
out of the winter things he fashions a story of modern love,
some resting flower of yesterday's delight,
all simply in the springing of the year,
under the hand of the village barber,
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
Shout From Where I Should Not Be
text
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
i should not be withheld but that some day
my right might be love but theirs was need,
and shout from where i am, what is it?
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
and one thing more that was not then to say,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
he has a plan, you mustn't laugh at him,
there was a gate i had leaned at for the view
some sympathy was wasted on the house,
with what was another man's work for gain,
I Had To The Armful In The Armful
i had to drop the armful in the road
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
up to the brim, and even above the brim,
and caught herself up bodily, chair and all,
Far In The Scythe Had To Me, I
listen to me, i won't come down the stairs,"
"i want him to, he'll have to soon or late,"
he had to take the best way he knew how
where i must judge if what he knew about an axe
they soon saw he would do someone a mischief
you'll be surprised at him how much he's broken,
a small bird flew before me, he was careful
where the bird was before it flew,
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
across the reeds to a window light,
The Footpath Down To Think The Footpath Down
i shall set forth for somewhere,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
that that was the place to carry a heart
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
the footpath down to the well is healed,
For The Wood But One,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
they string together with a living thread,
and reaching up with a little knife,
turned into a weapon,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
something or someone watching made that gust,
love and forgetting might have carried them
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
and heat so close in; but the thought of all
in any rough place where it caught,
that in the general mowing
part of a moon was falling down the west,
They Found,
grim giving to do over for them both,
for still others they found,
but we were england's, still colonials,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
they must go down into the dark decayed,
not yet the little dotted in me seek,
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
and bade him leave the pan and stoke the arch,
and bow and accept the end
that struck the earth,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
Seek Not In Me The Bit I Don't
seek not in me the bit i capital,
i don't want it girdled by rabbit and mouse,
than i can raise my voice or want to lift
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
but outer space,
then there were three there, making a dim row,
A Pathless Wood
and followed it crying 'heart or death!'
'tis only to sit back and sway his head
his icicles along the wall to keep;
to white rest, and a place of rest
love and a question
and life is too much like a pathless wood
a narrow passage all the way around,
and thought of doing something to the shore
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
But No, Not Yet, A Snort To Learn
and so at last to learn to use their wings,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
that now it means to stay,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
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
The Beady Spider, The Wind Out Of
the first tool i step on
if i was not to speak of it to you
and often they brought so much to say
i shall have less to say,
what had how long it takes a birch to rot
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
in one last look the way they must not go,
but not long since in the lumber camps,
where the boughs rain when it blows,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
the headless aftermath,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
and the awe passes wonder then,
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,
Ever It Was The Earth,
in summertime with a witching wand,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
almost like a call to come in
that that was the place to carry a heart
nor was the grass itself your real concern,
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
and ever it was intended so,
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
there were enough things to be thought of then,
he may be better than appearances,
he had been heard to say by several,
they sent him back to her, the letter came
it hadn't found the place to blow;
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,
Melting Further In The Hush Of The
lay him in state on a sepal,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
and melting further in the wind to mud,
the barren boughs without the leaves,
all simply in the springing of the year,
against the uttermost of earth,
with the slow smokeless burning of decay,
the picture pride of hollywood,
of something interposed between their sight
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
unless in the horizon rim,
his gains in heaven are what they are,
although they are no less there,
Ever A Hoof,
he marked her through the pane,
that was well! and he stamped a hoof,
he may not speak of it, and then he may,
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
it's thus he does it of a winter night,
ever a cause that was lost too long,
was it ever less than a treason
one could do worse than be a swinger of birches,
Her Great Weight Creaks The Wood-world's Side
the love of bare november days
upon the full moon's side of the first haycock
the understanding of a friend,
you, of course, are a rose -
with barbed-wire binding, they stood facing this,
broad-shouldered little slabs there in the sunlight
in the wood-world's torn despair
her great weight creaks the barbed wire in its staples
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
had brought to rest,
his hands? she had to look, and ask,
He Moves In Darkness As It To
but if you so much as dare to speak,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
they must go down past things coming up,
your going and coming, and you like it here?
don't carry it to someone else this time,
and he could wait -we'd see to him tomorrow,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
to be coming home the way i was,
they knew they had but to stay their stay
that now it means to stay,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
Pan Came To Where It Bent In The
could only have had an influence on birds
while they had backs turned, that it hadn�t been there
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
too far beyond him to be gathered in,
to where it bent in the undergrowth;
it was far in the sameness of the wood;
for a few swift gleams of the angry brand,
and thought of doing something to the shore
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
and making the best of their way back to life
as i came to the edge of the woods,
pan came out of the woods one day,
and, tired of aimless circling in one place,
Where The Cellar Walls,
and left no trace but the cellar walls,
some sympathy was wasted on the house,
summer was past and the day was past,
where the flower was before it grew,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
and taken with it all the hyla breed
rouse them all, both the free and not so free
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
but i understand, it is not the stones,
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,
That Flower To Do With Straw,
`whether they work together or apart,'
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
tomorrow they may form and go,
as if to prove saws knew what supper meant,
than for himself, so placed he couldn't hope
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
though as for that the passing there
the bird was not to blame for his key,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
what had that flower to do with being white,
that now it means to stay,
but the thing of it is, i need to be kept,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
they leave us so to the way we took,
len says one steady pull more ought to do it,
As He Had Been Heard To Say By
he had been heard to say by several,
be that as may be, she was in their song,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
as two in whom them were proved mistaken,
and that has made all the difference,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
this new-built city from both work and sleep,
once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
they string together with a living thread,
with a houseful of hungry men to feed
The Wood;
and the body he wore
in all the country he did command
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
the measure of the little while
the fruited bough of the juniper
it was far in the sameness of the wood;
the tuft of flowers
the dead of the commissary
the headless aftermath,
the gathering of the souls for birth,
To Carry A Heart
as the stir cracks and crazes their enamel,
to feel the earth as rough
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
that that was the place to carry a heart
the footpath down to the well is healed,
The Blowing,
toward heaven still,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
then the rain stopped and the blowing,
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
seizes the dead by the middle,
and by the brook our woods were there,
and the awe passes wonder then,
the overimportant pair,
the clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
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,
From Which To Square
even as on earth, in paradise;
than with brooks taken otherwhere in song,
dooryard and road ungraded,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
that struck the earth,
a narrow passage all the way around,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
what but design of darkness to appall?
make up your mind to die in state,
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
from which to gather your gown,
to which you give the assenting voice,'
Around Him To Look After That If Splitting
but if you so much as dare to speak,
and ought to do some good if splitting stars
but whate'er you do tonight,
it got so i would say you know, half fooling
i'll see to that if there is need, he ought of right
to you in your condition; you can't know
"you can't because you don't know how to speak,
let them think twice before they use their powers
around him to look after that make waste,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
no more to build on there, and they, since they
with anyone to death, comes so far short
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
But He Knew,
thereafter i sat me against a tree,
but he sighed upon the sill,
but he turned first, and led my eye to look
he paces back and forth and never rests
the bridegroom wished he knew,
he would declare and could himself believe
Her In The Sound Was Behind Me
the sound was behind me instead of before,
men of the woods and lumberjacks,
with the breath of many flowers,
and her in the angle of house and barn
to meet him in the doorway with the news
to do with what was in the darkened parlour?
Somehow The Roof,
some sympathy was wasted on the house,
for such a charge, his snow upon the roof,
somehow the change wore out like a prescription,
a flower unplucked is but left to the falling,
to white rest, and a place of rest
Then Come Back To It And At
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
and then come back to it and begin over,
and started down the gully,
the lowest chamber window on the east,
the clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
and at the other end the microscope,
holding the curve of one position,
in the pain that has but one close,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
across the sill from the outer gloom,
and at the other end the microscope,
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
Across The Other Go On Black Ground A
like a white piece of rigid satin cloth
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
'twas a nest full of young birds on the ground
the disappearing last of him
across the sill from the outer gloom,
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
and let the other go on a way,
on his particular time and personal sight,
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
they tried to keep him clothed, but he paraded
thus till he had them almost feeling dared
in time, had she not realized her danger
with what was another man's work for gain,
To Be,
broad-shouldered little slabs there in the sunlight
years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
they plant dead trees for living, and the dead
and simply staying possesses all
so now and never any different,"
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
women and men will make them all the same,
that would have joined the house in flame
they were content to figure in the trees
and question what of the night to be,
to wash the steps with pail and rag,
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
to think of the right thing to say too late,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
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,
Dead Wings Carried Like A Great Wave
on every tree a bucket with a lid,
and dead wings carried like a paper kite,
but were always a rose,
a great wave from it going over them,
the wind once blew itself untaught,
a number in, but what about the brook
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
A Quiverful To Make Pretense
a quiverful to choose from, since he wished me
and say no word to tell me who he was
he will not see me stopping here
man came to tell it what was wrong,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
and spread her apron to it, she put out her hand
and checked my steps to make pretense
Scorning Greatly Not To Become Intelligible, At Least
one had to be versed in country things
but yield who will to their separation,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
scorning greatly not to demand
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,
Far Off The Middle,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
like the elves in the wood?
something down there to smile at in the dust,
but from sheer morning gladness at the brim,
and a chain at his side,
part of a moon was falling down the west,
and the nature of time and space,
the picture pride of hollywood,
the deed of gift was many deeds of war
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
and have stopped dying now forever,
and still the bird revisited her young,
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
I Didn't Know Him Well Enough To Have
nor yet did i,
i didn't know him well enough to know
but i have promises to keep,
but if it had to perish twice,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
but once within the wood, we paused
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
what it was all about, there might be something
you'd think his memory might be satisfied "
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
it would be different if more people came,
Then Come Back To Do With Being
but dared not spare to do the best we could
what had that flower to do with being white,
and then come back to it and begin over,
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
The Same?
with the same pains you use to fill a cup
is water wood to serve a brook the same?
a star in two or three, the way you split
they string together with a living thread,
and sweeping round it with a flaming sword,
and pinned with a silver pin,
or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand,
the footpath down to the well is healed,
his icicles along the wall to keep;
and so at last to learn to use their wings,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
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,
On Noiseless Wing A Case Of Snow,
on noiseless wing a 'wildered butterfly,
and set them on the porch, then drew him down
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
and wished her heart in a case of gold
a leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared
It Lost And Night Falling And Night Falling
snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast
for still others they found,
and, for all burden, care,
the victory for what it lost and gained,
and set herself back where she, started from,
when sedentary and when peripatetic,
it ran with terror and with cunning crept,
and the awe passes wonder then,
and started down the gully,
besides the grave,
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
they turn their back on the land,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
to better its perch for the night,
He Made His Errand Sure,
he saw no smoke and he saw no roof,
he gave it scarcely a touch,
that was well! and he stamped a hoof,
before he made his errand sure,
it seemed god let thee flutter from his gentle clasp,
that day, giving a loose my soul,
a miserable sight, and frightening, too
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
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,
She Scorns A Pasture Withering To The Place
one flight out sideways would have undeceived him,
i must be wonted to it that's the reason,
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
and ought to do some good if splitting stars
i didn't know him well enough to know
and say no word to tell me who he was
he said to gain time, "what is it you see?"
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
the hard snow held me, save where now and then
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
and turns to the wind to unruffle a plume,
were native to the grain before the knife
That Jangled Even Above The Skies,
the clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
and in the morning glow,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
that we sit sometimes in the wayside nook,
and then i said the truth and we moved on,
so, but the hand was gone already,
not caring so very much what she supposes,
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
had worn them really about the same,
that jangled even above the general noise,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
Like Locks Blown Forward In The Head In
and tags and numbers it for future reference,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
and then come back to it and begin over,
to loose the resin and take it down
and where they sought without the sword
of ever coming to the place again
what but design of darkness to appall?
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
going the other way and they not seen it,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
there is none left to mourn thee in the fields,
nor is there wanting in the press
the head in the dark below
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
Through,
and makes gaps even two can pass abreast,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
and seek with laughter what to brave;
for you to doubt the likelihood,
they did not have the wit to say,
He Consigned To Stay,
the youth is persuaded that he will be rather more than less himself
they tried to keep him clothed, but he paraded
i wasn't looking for him and he's changed,
saying, and she could have him, and before
he consigned to the moon, such as she was,
he viewed them quizzically with jerks of head,
he takes up life simply with the small tasks,
was setting out, up track and down, not plants
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
what matter if we go clear to the west,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
that now it means to stay,
trying, i thought, to set it up on end,
The Brook If Still It Ran;
soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
to seek the brook if still it ran;
to carry again to you,
we speak the literal to inspire
they leave us so to the way we took,
If The Air
my instep arch not only keeps the ache,
it only gives our wish for blue a whet,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
the birds that came to it through the air
to which you give the assenting voice,'
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
if we who sight along it round the world,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
grief may have thought it was grief,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
it is the autumnal mood with a difference,
it was a cord of maple, cut and split
It Was In A Frenchman Couldn't Get His
was in her clouded eyes; they saw no fear there,
the moon, though slight, was moon enough to show
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
a frenchman couldn't get his human rating,
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
what will next prove a rose,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
someone had better be prepared for rage,
I Have Come By The Night-hawks Peopling Heaven,
i have come by the highway home,
i dream upon the night-hawks peopling heaven,
i was afraid, in brightening first on me,
oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
that tinged the atmosphere,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
but once within the wood, we paused
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
there were enough things to be thought of then,
how else? they are not known to send the dead
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
Sideways, That Had As The Porch, Then Drew
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
sideways, that would have run her on the stove
and set them on the porch, then drew him down
as she flings over and off down through the maples,
that had as many motions as the world,
and the world had found new terms of worth,
and little of love could know,
and whispers with a sort of stifled bark,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
and was always a rose,
a baggy figure, equally pathetic
Whose Only Play Was Gone Already,
even as on earth, in paradise;
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
and the people look at the sea,
and the strange birds say,
with straining in the world's embrace,
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
so, but the hand was gone already,
and have stopped dying now forever,
and still she had all they had they the lucky!
whose only play was what he found himself,
a small bird flew before me, he was careful
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,
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,
They Have To The Right Place For Dream
what things for dream there are when spectre-like,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
but yield who will to their separation,
they have to take you in,"
and when i come to the garden ground,
and thought of doing something to the shore
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,
For Every Kind There Was A Flame
and a flame slender as the hepaticas,
and for every kind there was a face,
to see for once the inside of his house,
in the seat of my sense,
upon the full moon's side of the first haycock
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,
They Go Past
it is time to make an end of speaking,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
but in no hush they string it, they go past
they looked about for someone to have done it,
if you had any feelings, you that dug
they looked about for someone to have done it,
but now for me than you the other way,
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
with the flowers to play,
Shouldering Its Strength Lay
the deed of gift was many deeds of war
about our place among the infinities,
and the awe passes wonder then,
the overimportant pair,
and having perhaps the better claim,
these pools that, though in forests, still reflect
the victory for what it lost and gained,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
put on it from without, and there its strength lay
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
the lurking frost in the earth beneath
who mowed it in the dew before the sun,
Now The Inside Of His House,
its light poured softly in her lap, she saw
to see for once the inside of his house,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
the way he mixed that in with other things,
one foot went down, the view was all in lines
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
the well was dry beside the door,
He Meant To Flames Without Twice Thinking, Where
he is all pine and i am apple orchard,
i knew pretty well what he had in mind,
in winter he comes back to us, i'm done,"
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
while they had backs turned, that it hadn�t been there
he must have given the hand, however it was,
waiting for warren, when she heard his step,
before she saw him, she was starting down,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
and when i come to the garden ground,
