Poems about people
The Drop Of Anguish
i shall forget the drop of anguish
to one who never felt it blaze
because he knows and
that as myself could pity him
to every creature that i met
you would not know it from the drifts
the heaven you know to understand
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
when night is almost done
and let you from a dream
it tried to be a rose
and see the people going by
and know no other way
dreams are well but waking's better,
and then it doesn't stay
The Distant Say That Bright Majority
but there is no gratitude
our little garden that we lost
some say that bright majority
a furtive look you know as well
or what the distant say
fame of myself to lack although
better than new could be for that
to favorites a few
and see the people going by
one and one are one
you hear a being drop
the walls begun to tell
each other's setting saw
there is one farther than you
the only one forestalling mine
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
The Evening
best things dwell out of sight
the pretty people in the woods
and the mountain to the evening
the pretty people in the woods
how the old mountains drip with sunset
beginning with the day
the sun has got as far
most she won me by the way
But Once Within The Man Within The Pretty
was he afraid or tranquil
or if myself were dreamed of her
i had not had but for yourself
i'm used to that
he left behind one day so less
they're here, though; not a creature failed
a star not far enough to seek
they strive and yet delay
may be easier reached this way
the one who could repeat the summer day
we cannot count on high!
if you were coming in the fall,
the pretty people in the woods
but once within the town
but the man within
I The Sum,
mistake defeat for death each time
i had the glory that will do
they may not finally say, yes
where others, dare not go at noon,
was large enough for me,
an awe if it should be like that
for doubt, that i should know the sound
i cannot tell the sum,
have i the art to say,
people like the moth,
Better Than New Could Be For That Your
we almost cease to fear
we learn to know the planks
ourselves are conscious he exist
those fair fictitious people
to lives that stand alone
better than new could be for that
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
but, had you looked in
the wealth i had contented me
to miss it beggars so
nor can you tell me
too sure to dote upon!
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
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 -
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,
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
The Place, With All My Might
who misery sustain
the sunrise sire compelleth me
include us as they go
and people come
i left the place, with all my might
that he'll mistake and ask for me
For News That Was Not Wealth
the poverty that was not wealth
to those who look on you
you love the lord you cannot see
you'll know sir when the savior's face
and see the people going by
for news that they be saved
was't glory?
that will do
that one, to be quite sure
Yet Small She Sighs If All
and people come
yet small she sighs if all is all
when one turned smiling to the land
as even while i looked dissolved
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?
To Have Gone Groping Underground
either to have gone groping underground
and turns to the wind to unruffle a plume,
to carry again to you,
go bring him home to his people,
his hands? she had to look, and ask,
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,
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,
Some Are Smothered In Their Lairs,
and some are loaves and some so nearly balls
and living people, and things they understand,
all animals are smothered in their lairs,
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
in the universal crisis,
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,
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
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,
The People Look At A Star Quaking
before the age of the fern;
such is the uncaged progress of the bear,
you're one month on in the middle of may,
within, the bride in the dusk alone
and the sun shrunken yellow in smoke,
at a star quaking in the other end,
and the people look at the sea,
I Didn't Know Him Well Enough To Have
nor yet did i,
i didn't know him well enough to know
but i have promises to keep,
but if it had to perish twice,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
but once within the wood, we paused
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
what it was all about, there might be something
you'd think his memory might be satisfied "
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
it would be different if more people came,
The Sword
to seek the brook if still it ran;
and to know definitely what he thinks about the soul;
and there his courage could not endure
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
the victory for what it lost and gained,
and living people, and things they understand,
and where they sought without the sword
and the strange birds say,
You Could Himself Believe
he must seek me would he undo the wrong,
what good is he? who else will harbour him
he would declare and could himself believe
unless len took the notion, which he won't,
had worn them really about the same,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
it would be different if more people came,
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
