Poems about play
That's Coming The Growth
and then does nothing
what plenty it would be
it's coming the postponeless creature
they took away our eyes
can keep the soul alive
and there, the matter ends
but since it is playing kill us,
when one has failed to stop them
and when we turned to note the growth
of all the souls that stand create
heaven is shy of earth that's all
the life is thick i know it!
that life like this is stopless
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
Venice Could Show It But A Riddle, At
i touched with caution lest they crack
i'm not afraid to know
no man can understand
did they come back no more?
what plenty it would be
and there, the matter ends
and health, and laughter, curious things
and through a riddle, at the last
and when again, at dawn,
should i again experience
that i could show it in bazaar
venice could not show a check
that night should be to thee
yet not too far to come at call
be it but a play
Altho' I Could Fear A Smile, To Think
that i could fear a door
altho' i prove it, just in time
praying that i might be
i know, and they know me;
so well that i can live without
to think just how the fire will burn
they ask but our delight
life is what we make of it
the lightning playeth all the while
this being comfort then
a smile, to show you, when this deep
and hit a world, at every plunge,
the dying as it were a height
He Shifts The Stem A Year
without the weariness
the lightning playeth all the while
called to my full the crescent dropped
put the thought in advance a year
saying itself in new infection
it seems a curious town
he shifts the stem a little
cross it, and overcome the bee
she runs without the look of feet
Or If It Makes No Difference Abroad
a needless life, it seemed to me
it would be life
it makes no difference abroad
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
though life's reward be done
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
and would it feel as big
i wonder how the rich may feel
or if it dare to climb your dizzy knee
then look for me, be sure you say
i should have been too glad, i see
but early, yet, for god
it has no future but itself,
He Must Have Done Expecting Me
belief but once can be
somehow, it will be even
it is easy to work when the soul is at play
it would be life
i'd rather be the one
that i the answer may pursue
he must have achieved in person
that they have done expecting me
the whole of it came not at once
and even when the snow
until you felt your second
for my will goes the other way,
that makes no show for dawn
it should not tease you
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
You Beg Him Not To Die Tomorrow
nay hold it it is calm
they struggle some for breath
the man to die tomorrow
henceforth her only one!
and how if he be dead
be of me afraid,
i touched with caution lest they crack
you beg him not to go
too plummetless that it return
than that
possibly but we would rather
and that i am coming too
i felt it publish in my eye
a little note when you awake
no one could play it the second time
Without The While
without the loneliness
deeper than without
but the forty
the lightning playeth all the while
to show the sun the way
some manner of the hair
But Since It Is Sometimes Caught
wills silence everywhere,
and yet, how still the landscape stands!
but since it is playing kill us,
nature, like us, is sometimes caught
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
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
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,
I Cannot Say
and let him hear it drip
nor can you tell me
and we know not
let's play those never come!
that i cannot say
till we are less afraid
just let go the breath
to make me fairest of the earth
i hope the father in the skies
so he let me lead him in
what death knows so well
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
It Should Be Like That
nor we so much as check our speech
it is easy to work when the soul is at play
so go your way and i'll go mine
i'll do thy will
most i love the cause that slew me,
an awe if it should be like that
death did not notice me,
i mention it to you,
that would not let the will
what will become of me?
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 Since It Is Playing Kill Us,
the twilight stood as strangers do
each little doubt and fear,
that we've immortal place,
but since it is playing kill us,
I Did Not Go
i fear me this circumference
i think a little well like mine
i don't know him; snugly built!
and yet, it will not go
and then does nothing
i did not dare to eat or sleep
and went to sleep
and noon should burn
and later when we die
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
look if she should know
don't you know me?
or did it just begin?
when was it can you tell
Too Rescued Fear Too Rescued Fear Too Dim
too rescued fear too dim to me
we wonder it was not ourselves
and could be mighty, if i liked
but should the play
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
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
As It Could See
had it remained to speak
was such still dwelling there?
as far from mine, as if no plight
but since it is playing kill us,
as far as it could see
how mean to those that see
the soul cannot be rid
and when so newly dead
It Would Never Be Common More I Fear
i fear a silent man
that after horror that 'twas us
next one might be the golden touch
to folks in heaven now
it would never be common more i said
include us as they go
when play be done
That One, To Be Standing Here
forgive them even as myself
i shall know why when time is over
that there be standing here
that i could ascertain
we will not drop the dirk
let's play those never come!
i go to elsewhere go no more
some touch it, and some kiss it
what, when the rose is ripe
that is covered too
and mockery was still
the blind esteem it be
that one, to be quite sure
that you never do it
Except The East
and shame went still
and when so newly dead
and now you've littered all the east
too little way the house must lie
for my will goes the other way,
and never i mind the sea;
i had the glory that will do
that last day that i was a life
i'd so much joy i told it red
so infinite when gone
except the dying this to us
but since it is playing kill us,
among us not today
just making signs across to thee
when heaven was too common to miss
Tho' Full Many A Face
as if my soul were deaf and dumb
that one so shy so ignorant
and when his golden walk is done
who weary of the day
and tho' full many a morning,
and when the sun go down,
for that was thine, before
the day must follow too,
i dared not enter, lest a face
but since it is playing kill us,
and then i started too,
It Will Be Ample Time
take not my liberty
and then abroad the world he go
and where his feet have run
and at my finger's end
it will be ample time for me
make summer when the lady lie
no one could play it the second time
and when at night our good day done
Longer Trust
the reason deeper lies,
i pondered how the bliss would look
i knew not but the next
i shall meet with conviction i somewhere met
i stole them from a bee
god gave a loaf to every bird
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
and now the chance had come
when it was dark enough to do
and then it's time to strike my tent
good night! which put the candle out?
because it's sunday all the time
by my long bright and longer trust
Never Could Take It Is Playing Kill Us,
i fear a man of frugal speech
that person that i was
but, what of that?
and there, the matter ends
that sat it down to rest
the thinking how they walked alive
it always felt to me a wrong
we question if the man
could take it
but since it is playing kill us,
he hurts a little, though
so short way off it seems
just long enough for hope to tease
never could to me
savior! i've no one else to tell
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,
No More,
touch liberty then know no more,
no message, but a sigh
or think of, with a sigh
what come of him at night
i used to when a boy
have summer's leave to play
as if the stars some summer night
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
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,
I Was Distraught
then when i was distraught
i dwell in a lonely house i know
not yesterday i learned to know
as that i had no right to play
i thought a few might tangle, as they did,
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;
Blood-root, And You Have Said It Is Silver
is silver now with clinging mist,
it is under the small, dim, summer star,
it is true the longest drought will end in rain,
and leave it there far from a useful fireplace
"there, you have said it all and you feel better,
you were forever finding some new play,
tomorrow they may form and go,
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
blood-root, and violets so soon to be now,
so late-arising, to the broken moon
Yet Nothing I Should Come?
next to nothing for color,
seems to owe naught to any single cord,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to ask if there is some mistake,
what would you say to war if it should come?
and long to know if still i held them dear,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
and what have i then?
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
yet nothing i should care to leave behind,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
you were forever finding some new play,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
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,
To Stand Simply Forth,
that calm seems certainly safe to last to-night,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
to yield with a grace to reason,
to this lean feeding save once a year
to loose the resin and take it down
that brought me to my feet to hold it back
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
to play with to-morrow,
to better its perch for the night,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
and he could wait -we'd see to him tomorrow,
that was what marrying father meant to her,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to all my length,
Melting Further In All The Birds There
night comes; the black bats tumble and dart;
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
out of the woods, worn out upon the trail,"
that the birds there in all the garden round
a number in, but what about the brook
in any rough place where it caught,
and melting further in the wind to mud,
and cold to an orchard so young in the bark
but that he knows in singing not to sing,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
with the flowers to play,
and once she went to break a bough
that was what marrying father meant to her,
back to the place from which she came
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,
Dread Fifty Above More Than Broken,
than populous
dread fifty above more than fifty below,"
they throw a forest down less cut than broken,
something or someone watching made that gust,
but whether or not a man was asked
no, not as there is a time to talk,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
but so with all, from babes that play
and so not carrying the tree away
Where His Job, When He Loves;
she let him look, sure that he wouldn't see,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play
where his job, when he wasn't selling tickets,
in time, had she not realized her danger
the sound was behind me instead of before,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
a sort of catch-all full of attic clutter,
more blameless in the sense of being less
the more of right the more he loves;
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
yet for them the lilac renewed its leaf,
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,
Such White Luxuriance Of The Measure Of Earth,
with the glittering things,
to go with the drift of things,
the measure of the little while
on any sheet the least display of mind,
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
with the breath of many flowers,
the spoils of the dead,
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
such white luxuriance of may for ours,
To Seek The Flowers To Seek The Flowers
into my own
and might out meddling make her more afraid,
and talk about your everyday concerns,
to seek the happy isles together,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
with the flowers to play,
One Back And Stopped The Stiffness Out Of
but now he brushed the shavings from his knee
he never found her, though he looked
only to lose it when he pirouettes,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play
and he likes having thought of it so well
i have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
until he took the stiffness out of them,
and where they sought without the sword
the birds that came to it through the air
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
deeper down in the well than where the water
one back and forward, in and out of shadow,
with straining in the world's embrace,
and fixity in our joys,
To The Ships Where War Has Found Them
about the ships where war has found them out
and question what of the night to be,
with the flowers to play,
to carry the same to the holy land;
i was just as the light was beginning to fail
his song so pitched as not to excite
but i don't count on it as much as len,
Then Took The Other, As Just As It
will hit or miss the moon,"
further than target ever showed or shone,
summer or winter, and could play alone,
and dreaming, as it were, held brotherly speech
then took the other, as just as fair,
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
Still She Had All They Were,
he is said to have been the last red man
one had to be versed in country things
and still she had all they had they the lucky!
had worn them really about the same,
times were changed from what they were,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
to white rest, and a place of rest
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
with the flowers to play,
and list to the love of these,
and making the best of their way back to life
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
what had that flower to do with being white,
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,
