Poems about power
How Many Times It Ache For Me Today
without the power to die
when frightened home to thee i run
how many times it ache for me today confess
unto the scene that we do not
That Happen On The Wise Convey It Home
our mortal consequence
beyond my power to deem
the wise convey it home
that happen on the soul
Needs But No True Eye
but no true eye
i don't care for pouting skies!
he did not know i saw;
it near as i can guess
i've heard an organ talk, sometimes
for i have but the power to kill,
needs but to remember
what if they hear me!
did we disobey him?
yet know not what was done to me
i liked as well to see
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
Where Dawn Knows How To The Lover
but when his power dropped
remind him, would it not, somewhat
a sort, that shall not taste of death
morning means just risk to the lover
where dawn knows how to be
I'd So Much Joy I Took My Hand
she feels some ghastly fright come up
came once a world did you?
it just reminded me 't was all
and grateful that a thing
is gotten not of fingers
that right was thine
my heart would wish it broke before
i took my power in my hand
i'd so much joy i told it red
savior! i've no one else to tell
so say if queen it be
that i cannot must be
a wife at daybreak i shall be
for i was once a child
So, I Had Worn It, Every Day,
dying annuls the power to kill,
it burned me in the night
see the bird reach it!
we bee and i live by the quaffing
to wait an hour is long
it is too difficult a grace
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
so, i could buy it
for i had worn it, every day,
and been myself that easy thing
then how the grief got sleepy some
it takes me all the while to poise
Hope It Would Be Too Surrendered
the bee is not afraid of me,
that i could fear a door,
how goblin it would be
to whom this would have pointed me
tell him just how the fingers hurried
hope it was that kept me warm
if the life be too surrendered
to be alive is power
when one turned smiling to the land
it only moved as do the suns
some one the sum could tell
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
Could The Cars Have But The Cars Have
my worthiness is all my doubt
and beg me put it on
for i had worn it, every day,
still to be explained,
for i have but the power to kill,
i'd rather be the one
it seems as though the time
it has no future but itself
and grateful that a thing
is when the cars have come
could the children find the way there
this covert have all the children
it cannot be my spirit
somehow, it will be even
The Honorable Work
just let go the breath
just that you should see
the power to be true to you,
to take the honorable work
the saved will tell
i never thought to see
i only have it not tonight
the only one i meet
yet precious as the house
to this world she returned,
if i may have it, when it's dead,
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
Just Two Heart
we outgrow love like other things
though how may this be so?
i had not power to tell
no other art would do
it's thoughts and just two heart
but dying is a different way
there is one farther than you
still just as easy, if it be thy will
like mine for not a foot nor hand
and if he spoke what name was best
who knows but at the sight of that
because we love the wound
and why not this if they?
the neighbors do not yet suspect!
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
Tell That No One Else Would Miss
the flower must not blame the bee
tell that the worst, is easy in a moment
as one who for a further life
had he the power to dream
the one that no one else would miss
i could not fix the year,
i do not need a light
where he turned so, and i turned how
did they come back no more?
are we that wait sufficient worth
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,
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,
