Poems about pride
Too Proud For Pride
too vague the face
meek let it be too proud for pride
be sure you're sure you know
and they'll slant
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
It Be Too Proud For Pride
confronting eyes long comforted
he waking finds the flower there
meek let it be too proud for pride
it must mean that i'm sure
No Fear You'll Miss An Ear
but instinct esteem him
bring me my best pride
to crew and you
no fear you'll miss the road,
he touched me, so i live to know
i would not mind the journey there
i could not miss an ear
"was It Conscious When It Conscious When
the soul has moments of escape
and "was it conscious when it stepped
as pride were all it could
the waiting then will seem so worth
We're Fearing That First Day, When You Were
better of it continual be afraid
and carries one out of it to god
to him who has it and the one
as pride were all it could
but you were crowned in june
that fancied they could hold
we're fearing that their hearts will drop
we cannot count on high!
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
i too received the sign,
i ask, each new may morn,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
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
In The Fair Schoolroom Of The Suspense
the twilight stood as strangers do
just as the dusk was brown
the morning's amber road
in the fair schoolroom of the sky
and the affairs of june
in face of the suspense
but state with creeping blood
as pride were all it could
but what that place could be
One Need Not Be Done
continual upon me
as grains upon a shore
one need not be a house
the earth has seemed to me a drum,
himself has but to will
even through them this
to him to live was doom
my need of thee be done
meek let it be too proud for pride
That's Out Of What It Was We
why heaven did not break away
would it stop whining if to thee
so you could see what moved them so
though you're very far
needs but to remember
of what they do outside
that's easier than the other film
and then it's out of sight
it dropped so low in my regard
for these were only put to death
as pride were all it could
and what it was we never lisped
i breathed enough to take the trick
should be the art to save
i'll hand it to the angel
If You Would Like To Me
that our minds are hot,
how much can come
i hope the "children" there won't be "new fashioned" when i come
never could to me
if you would like to borrow,
it cannot be my spirit
what could it hinder so to say?
i knew not but the next
we didn't do it tho'!
just felt the world go by!
as pride were all it could
but to faith a revolution
what day be dark to me
In The Most,
within, the bride in the dusk alone
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
the picture pride of hollywood,
and thought of naught to say,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
but turns to pink between the teeth,
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
and yet too ready to believe the most,
in action, and the miller is said to have laughed
Not For Me To The Letter Came
yet every second spear
one so lonely was fain to list,
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
they knew they had but to stay their stay
not for me to ask which, when what he took
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
and thing next most diffuse to cloud,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
they sent him back to her, the letter came
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
and her face changed from terrified to dull,
and nothing to look backward to with pride,
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,
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,
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,
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,
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,
