Poems about rack
You Know,
the racket shamed me so
then to him who bear
you could not spare you know,
lest that should conquer me,
A Child No More
the racket shamed me so
i'm pleading at the "counter" sir
i felt it publish in my eye
another way to see
a being impotent to end
a doubt if it be fair indeed
it may be wilderness without
that frightened but an hour
that certain as it comes
but what must be the smile
so soon to be a child no more
when i have lost, you'll know by this
if you'll just tell me so
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
Her Glory I Touched With Caution Lest They're
a trouble lest they're homesick
i touched with caution lest they crack
what if i file this mortal off
bereft i was of what i knew not
her glory i should know
you would not know it from the field
it's like the light,
could the children find the way there
for these were only put to death
How Mean To Those That Were The Plenty
that were the mind dissolved
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
as one should come to town
how mean to those that see
better than music! for i who heard it
then stopped no other track!
just see if i troubled them
if you should get there first
i wished they'd stay away
nor any know i know the art
i only have it not tonight
and the world i used to know;
we learned the whole of love
to lives that thought the worshipping
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
Be Of Consciousness, Her Awful Mate
of consciousness, her awful mate
of velvet, is his countenance,
but just to look it in the eye
the dying need but little, dear,
be of me afraid,
if, haply, any say to me
to make sure all's asleep
the thinking how they walked alive
then how the grief got sleepy some
then stopped no other track!
themselves go out
for their sake not for ours
i too if he
what shall i do when the summer troubles
Let Me Up
let me not shame their sublime deportments
see where it hurt me that's enough
an awe if it should be like that
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
but the least fan
and came my way no more,
as far from mine, as if no plight
but came another day
were the day year long,
the taleless days went on
and made as he would eat me up
I Would Hurt Us Were We Awake
the racket shamed me so
it would hurt us were we awake
i would not paint a picture
i don't like paradise
how like "a fit" then
how goblin it would be
That From You Feel It
the wisdom it be so
and could not know the feeling 'twas
i can't tell you but you feel it
that from you or i,
and when i looked again
as stood you here
then stopped no other track!
to one who never felt it blaze
that time to take it home
The Day That Something Had Benumbed The Day
their faith the everlasting troth
patience of itself
be faithful in his absence
invited death with bold attempt
came once a world did you?
the day that was before
some secret that was pushing
that something had benumbed the track
one more "ye blessed" to be told
The Sign,
the racket shamed me so
but just to look it in the eye
cool of eye, and critical of work
was like the other days
as yet my heart be dry
so miserable a sound at first
the dying but a syllable
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
provided it do hopeless hang
i too received the sign,
it was not sickness then
and i have ceased to wonder why
since i could never find her
I Thought
to fight aloud, is very brave
we miss her, not because we see
i wondered which would miss me, least,
they looked like frightened beads, i thought
who never lost, are unprepared
in lands i never saw they say
as much of noon as i could take
the dying need but little, dear,
nor ever turn to tell me why
i could not die with you
because i know it's true
not if to talk with me
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
Since A Dying Eye
so when she comes this way,
then, darling, it will close
i sat me down to sigh,
i've seen a dying eye
i have a bird in spring
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
that other kind was pain
these are time's affair
discern d still withholden
The Whimper Of A Message From The
died not without a noise of crackling wood�
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
a new-world song, far out of reach,
Space,
they look at the sea all day,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and the nature of time and space,
maples and birches and tamaracks,
and caught me splitting wood in the yard,
and started down the gully,
the line-storm clouds fly tattered and swift,
Sideways, That In Guys It Gently Sways At
at least this far,
at a star quaking in the other end,
and at the other end the microscope,
the lasting memory at all clear,
so that in guys it gently sways at ease,
sideways, that would have run her on the stove
that life has for us on the wrack
On Black Ground A Bear-skin Rug Of
and bruit our singing down,
was setting out, up track and down, not plants
and medicine and rest, and you a week,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
in every print of a hoof a pond,
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
and a shout greets the daring one,
a sunny morning, or take the rising wind
That Those Dark Trees,
that life has for us on the wrack
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
of course he's nothing to us, any more
and question what of the night to be,
her tone of meaning but without the words,
one of my wishes is that those dark trees,
when the sun is out and the wind is still,
that struck the earth,
and the strange birds say,
and all but lost,
The Homes Of Time And The Fragile
than populous
than now these numberless years the elves,
the graveyard draws the living still,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and the fragile bluets clustered there
and the nature of time and space,
of trees and crack of branches, common things,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and looked at the world, and descended;
and the strange birds say,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
and held against the world of hoary grass,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
The Solid Tree Trunks Sound Again,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
with those great careless wings,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
like winter and evening coming on together,
and descended outside,
leaves and bar, leaves and bark,
as the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
maples and birches and tamaracks,
and started down the gully,
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
the fire itself can put it out, and that
To Carry A Heart
as the stir cracks and crazes their enamel,
to feel the earth as rough
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
that that was the place to carry a heart
the footpath down to the well is healed,
Was Setting Out, Up Track And Hear His
was setting out, up track and down, not plants
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
the moon, though slight, was moon enough to show
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
to keep his bargain of the morning with me
and having scared the cellar under him
Care May Have Excuse To Stay,
care may have thought it was care,
but if it had to perish twice,
not loth to have excuse to go,
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
with all i have to hold with hand and mind
and long to know if still i held them dear,
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
so dawn goes down to day,
she likes to halt us in our runner tracks,
He Consigned To Stay,
the youth is persuaded that he will be rather more than less himself
they tried to keep him clothed, but he paraded
i wasn't looking for him and he's changed,
saying, and she could have him, and before
he consigned to the moon, such as she was,
he viewed them quizzically with jerks of head,
he takes up life simply with the small tasks,
was setting out, up track and down, not plants
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
what matter if we go clear to the west,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
that now it means to stay,
trying, i thought, to set it up on end,
Taken With Vague Unearthly Cry,
that all your days are dim beneath,
each circling each with vague unearthly cry,
without the birds, without the breeze,
and descended outside,
and since they grew duller
with the glittering things,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
of trees and crack of branches, common things,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
and started down the gully,
and by the brook our woods were there,
and started down the gully,
