Poems about promise
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
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
Promise This When You Be
without attempt exhaustion
belief but once can be
the world stands solemner to me
promise this when you be dying
oh, could you catch her last refrain
a thrust and then for life a chance
so brave upon its little bed
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
Just For One To Stipulate
be of me afraid,
he will tell me what "peter" promised
they'd judge us how
but just for one to stipulate
because there was a winter once
because escape is done
done
just we two meet
i think a little well like mine
closer so i at my sleeping
Promise This When Frightened Home To Be Dear
unable they that love to die
and the earth they tell me
when frightened home to thee i run
just to be poor for barefoot vision
to know just how he suffered would be dear
neither place need i present him
so he let me lead him in
what word had they for me?
for they've never gone
promise this when you be dying
and wishes had he any
and how if he be dead
were all that i could see
Wert Thou But Ill That I Am Hearing
for fear the squirrels know,
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
so i am hearing him, i'll dream,
i'll mis sum them,
but then i promised ne'er to tell
wert thou but ill that i might show thee
as far from mine, as if no plight
and so we move as far
Too Dim To Me
too rescued fear too dim to me
the face i carry with me last
promise this when you be dying
nature is what we know
Nor, For Myself, I Knew The Light Before
it never did betray
how well i knew the light before
i would not weep if i were they
but then i promised ne'er to tell
it cannot be my spirit
nor, for myself, i came so far
that one, to be quite sure
foot of the bold did least attempt it
the one that no one else would miss
himself has but to will
he touched me, so i live to know
i think that earth feels so
Occur To Die
you taught me fortitude of fate
occur to her alone
it's thoughts and just one heart
as my thought today
would but some god inform him
you'll find it when you try to die
so glad we are a stranger'd deem
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
he touched me, so i live to know
i asked the east,
and i, no other prayer,
and then, to go to sleep;
and when the sung go down
promise this when you be dying
Our Share Of The Earth
trust the loving promise
afraid to trust the morn
the earth lays back these tired lives
to make me fairest of the earth
put the thought in advance a year
our share of night to bear
a thrust and then for life a chance
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
But There Was No Wonder I Thought That
but there was no one, i was somewhere wondering
no wonder i was glad to get away,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
but i have promises to keep,
"when was i ever anything but kind to him?
"if you do!"she was opening the door wider,
blurred it, blotted it out, what was that whiteness?
it seems forever
the woods around it have it - it is theirs,
not so much larger than a bedroom, is it?
as it ran light, or had to bear a load,
just as you will till it becomes a habit,
a board is the best weapon if you have it,
I Have Promises To Keep,
i was something among the leaves i sought
since first i saw thee glance,
any fixed wages, though i wish i could,'
i should suppose, i can't say i see how,
and tell you that i saw does still abide,
but i have promises to keep,
but the mountains i raise
i shouldn't mind his bettering himself
are you dumb because you know me not,
i heard you talk,
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,
How Over, Though, For Even Me Who Is
i wish i could promise to lie in the night
i thought, who is that man? i didn't know you,
and half grant what i wish and snatch me away
they you wouldn't have looked on it as just a matter
when it seemed as if i could bear no more,
how over, though, for even me who knew
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
he is that fallen lance that lies as hurled,
the work of hunters is another thing,
the light forever is morning light;
but a house isn't sentient; the house
when the sun is out and the wind is still,
