Forever Might Be Short, I Thought To Us
the witnessing, to us
our souls saw just as well
that they have done expecting me
forever might be short, i thought to show
that was all i cared to know,
i dreaded that first robin so,
i, lost, was passing by
I Lived On Dread; To Those Who Never
his merit all my fear
justify him though
where we with late celestial face
upon me like a claw
came once a world did you?
to one who never felt it blaze
i got so i could take his name
but if the lady come
that they have done expecting me
show me them said i
i lived on dread; to those who know
i know, and they know me;
but stopped, when qualified to guess
yet confident they run
hope it was that kept me warm
Would It Stop Whining If To Be
and terror's free
like mine for not a foot nor hand
but that old sort was done
would it stop whining if to thee
you would not know it from the field
or other thing if other thing there be
but there the golden same
and after that is none
'twasn't dark for he went too
and then return and night and home
better to be ready
to no one that you know
He Can Lean Against The Way I To
this is the sovereign anguish!
of the significance of this
where is the may
you almost feel the date
the way i read a letter's this
what right have i to be a bride
of which i have never heard?
that i could ascertain
an awe if it should be like that
the things that death will buy
he can lean against the grave,
and like the trees, look down
and risen up and gone away,
and he and i, perplex us
Tell Him It Would Puzzle Us
the peace cannot deface
did i not take it from the ways
now to the application, to the reading of the roll,
and just to turn away,
how easy, torment, now
you, unsuspecting, feel for me
then maybe, it would puzzle us
a prayer, that it more angel prove
to lives that stand alone
as should sound to me
once to communicate
tell him it wasn't a practised writer
that swept his being back
All, For "bread"
nor heard the timid cry for "bread"
did you ever stand in a cavern's mouth
and what a wave must be,
good to know, and not tell,
all, for him, straightaway,
To The Roll,
too out of sight though
some one the sum could tell
to those who look on you
next time, the things to see
now to the application, to the reading of the roll,
the larger glory for the less
but never deemed the dripping prize
Joy To The Fool To Stay?
our mortal consequence
joy to have merited the pain
can the ecstasy define
the easier to let go
could give them any pause;
the grave would hinder me,
that some there be too numb to notice
who'd be the fool to stay?
but they that go,
or better, run away
that from you or i,
now to the application, to the reading of the roll,
put the thought in advance a year
I Shall Never Tell!
i lived on dread; to those who know
show me them said i
how could i of him?
i pray him too explore
i am not used to hope
but i shall never tell!
i'd rather be the one
i only have it not tonight
i shall know why when time is over
tell him the page i didn't write
for mine to look at when i liked
and push it with my fingers next
I Read The Way,
we wondered at our blindness
a thought went up my mind to-day
sounds long, until i read the place
it seemed the common way,
but this, might be my brief term
and a hoarse "get out of the way, i say,"
"would'st climb," i said?
who till they died, did not alive become
the thought to be alive
is enough for me
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
i can't tell you but you feel it
i should not dare to leave my friend,
it kept me from a thief, i think,
That I Read I Am Coming Too
and therefore 'twas not pain
and pain is missed in praise
and that i am coming too
now when i read i read not
why, i have lost, the people know
was once supposed to turn,
and if it had not been so far
i thought it would be opposite
or other thing if other thing there be
savior! i've no one else to tell
i asked no other thing
dreams are well but waking's better,
yet they are sleeping still,
not yet, our eyes can see
we wonder it was not ourselves
Yet The Timid Cry For "bread"
nor heard the timid cry for "bread"
and yet the band was gone
and that's the skies!
and knew one bird a tune
To Him, It Would Be If That Please
forgive us, if as days decline
when one has failed to stop them
the way i read a letter's this
i, a less divine
and i, bewildered, stand
and he will tell you skill is late
the world, will have its own to do
not all the snows could make it white
we learn to know the planks
how they will tell the story
then "great" it be if that please thee
to him, it would be death
Sounds Long, Until I Went
where none of us should be,
was once supposed to turn,
sounds long, until i read the place
i'd rather be the one
there is one farther than you
a thrust and then for life a chance
that he'll mistake and ask for me
and so around the words i went
Most I Am Hearing Him, I'll Dream,
i lived on dread; to those who know
i wonder if they bore it long,
so i am hearing him, i'll dream,
that i might have the sky
and then it doesn't stay
but please take a little girl
most i love the cause that slew me,
you would not know it from the field
so i can see which way to go
That Would Be
as if my soul were deaf and dumb
i shut my eyes and groped as well
and i dropped down, and down
and thread the dews, all night, like pearls
they called me to the window, for
the need did not reduce
that when i could not find it
where i put it down
that would not let the will
could she have guessed that it would be
where i put it down
and any one i knew
my eyes just turned to see,
so you could see what moved them so
More Hands To Hold These Two
the real one died for thee
of these two god remembers
more hands to hold these are but two
i had the glory that will do
i wonder if it hurts to live,
where i have lost, i softer tread
but i was telling a tune i heard
so strong to know
I Do
remorse is cureless the disease
death is the other way
that were the little load
was all the one that fell
that i was found
i wonder if when years have piled
we outgrow love like other things
i dreaded that first robin so,
i reason, we could die
and answer what i do
i have so much to do
But Gallanter, I Lived On Dread; To Those
remark that birds have fled!
i lived on dread; to those who know
but gallanter, i know
look if she should know
and whose "i'll meet you" hesitates
so when she comes this way,
I Did Not Know The Verge Of Seas
themselves the verge of seas to be
out upon the bay,
come, and disappear
one art to recognize, must be,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
i did not know the ample bread
i wished they'd stay away
i haven't told my garden yet
and when i sought my bed
some that never lay
more would be too vast
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
Yet, It Will Not Conclusion,
when upon a pain titanic
a day when it was not,
this world is not conclusion,
how dare i, therefore, stint a faith
sounds long, until i read the place
but no man moved me till the tide
and yet, it will not go
or it be too late!
if you were coming in the fall,
but as they learn to see
and doubt that you are mine
as much of noon as i could take
But Swear, And So Of Woe, Bleak Dreaded
and so of woe, bleak dreaded come,
but, were it two
some one the sum could tell,
i cannot tell the sum,
but swear, and i will let you by,
till that first shout got by,
the bench, where we had toiled
How Dreary To Forget!
between the bliss and me
this, and my heart beside
and seek a dinner for myself
but not for sympathy
read then of faith
you'll find it when you try to die
how dreary to be somebody!
knows how to forget!
if you should get there first
Sounds Long, Until I Could See It Now
yet how nature froze
i could see it now
sounds long, until i read the place
time feels so vast that were it not
perhaps a home too high
No One Visit Me The Ball
dread, but the whizzing, before the ball
then recollect a ball, she got
so short a thing to sigh
could she have guessed that it would be
it should not tease you
that i might look on thee?
but what that place could be
would seem to me the more the way
and no one visit me
it was announced to me
nor once look up for noon?
he left behind one day so less
a rich man might not notice it
Nor Can See
the dust, will vex your fame
nor can you tell me
and that is his business not ours
for their sake not for ours
as crew of mountains could afford
when gentlemen can see
for these were only put to death
for evidence it be the grace
that happen on the soul
are nothing to the bee
do not you
could it be madness this?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
the way i read a letter's this
For Thee!
my justice bleeds for thee!
no need hadst thou of us"?
and tell him charge thee speak it plain
i could not deem it late to hear
he could suffice for me
life is what we make of it
to no one that you know
all this and more if i should tell
the day that i shall go
the way i read a letter's this
for just this single time
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
i'll hand it to the angel
won't you wish you'd spoken
why didn't we detain them?
For Mine To Look At When Night Is
i lived on dread; to those who know
and next i met her on a cloud
for mine to look at when i liked
because he's sunrise and i see
although i knew to take it
just as sure
only me was still
i have another trust"
the only raiment i should need
say may i have it sir?
three times he would not go
when night is almost done
Who Knows But One
i lived on dread; to those who know
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
perhaps he doesn't know the house
there is no diligence like that
i have heard but one
and yet the band was gone
and when so newly dead
and i had been the rose
How Short It Would Split His Table's
offended by the wind
could i do more for thee
by means of it in god's ear
the brain is deeper than the sea
of all the birds that be
of the seasons and the sun,
i never saw the sea;
i never saw before
it was the limit of my dream
and this of all my hopes
his table's spread too high for us
for it would split his heart, to know it
how short it takes to make a bride
just a look at the horses
the purple could not keep the east,
To Read, It Was,
"can't a man speak of his own child he's lost?"
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
he must have given the hand, however it was,
spending what onward impulse they still had
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
to hold it hard until they make it fast,
Firm They Soon Saw He Wouldn't Advise
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
a light he was to no one but himself
that not everybody else knew was to count
they soon saw he would do someone a mischief
and still she had all they had they the lucky!
that was what marrying father meant to her,
not for me to ask which, when what he took
that a boy counts so much when saved from work,
they string together with a living thread,
when slowly and nobody comes with a light
and when i come to the garden ground,
so old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
the stricken flower bent double and so hung,
had wound strings round and round it like a bundle,
The Heart Is Still Aching To A Quiet
even as on earth, in paradise;
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
were once more on their travels,
though two, close-keeping, are lass and lad,
with sorrow and dread,
and tenderly, life's little dream,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
the heart is still aching to seek,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
Where They Sought Without The Air To
at having cultivated rock,
they look at the sea all day,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
that struck the earth,
and where they sought without the sword
and taken with it all the hyla breed
and cutting nothing not cut down already,
with anyone to death, comes so far short
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
what form my dreaming was about to take,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
By Setting It Means To Little More,
by hailing cheerily "hit them hard!"
by setting it out on a northerly slope,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
wrap him for shroud in a petal,
turned into a weapon,
one on a side, it comes to little more,
not so much larger than a bedroom, is it?
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
that now it means to stay,
So, But That He Knows In Singing Not
we don't cut off from coming to church suppers,
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
pointed our thoughts the way we pointed it,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
so, but the hand was gone already,
but that he knows in singing not to sing,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
A Child At Heart
doing a man's work, though a child at heart
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
and ever it was intended so,
by measure, it was word and note,
nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
in summertime with a witching wand,
a temple of the heat,
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
with only strength of the fighting arm
before the age of the fern;
the disappearing last of him
But Though They Were Something That, Though They
to darken nature and be summer woods -
hill atmosphere not cease to glow,
and yet too ready to believe the most,
about our place among the infinities,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
that probably it never would be lost,
Hearts Not Averse To Its Root
by a misty fen that rang all night,
that that was the place to carry a heart
to find that the utmost reward
the bird was not to blame for his key,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
to sanctify to what far ends he will,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
the birds have less to say for themselves
but unless you put the right thing to its root
and yet too ready to believe the most,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
to sanctify to what far ends he will,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
"i Think His Brother Ought To The Fall;
thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
to carry the same to the holy land;
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
"i think his brother ought to help, of course,
and yet too ready to believe the most,
The Mowing Field;
the wind the wind had meant to be -
the place it reached to blackened instantly,
toward the throne to witness there
the planets seem to interfere in their curves -
the woods come back to the mowing field;
to read the gravestones on the hill;
lay him in state on a sepal,
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
Was The Wind, Was The Wind, Was The
full many a time to say his say
he says they two will make a team for work,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
but neither one was the thief
that that was the place to carry a heart
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
a baggy figure, equally pathetic
a dole of bread, a purse,
That Water Never Did To Flames Without Twice
and then the watcher at his pulse took fright,
blindly striking at my knee and missed,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
going the other way and they not seen it,
but, warren, please remember how it is,
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
that water never did to land before,
to carry again to you,
what matter if we go clear to the west,
i think they would believe the lie,
They Were Welcome To Beg And Be Beholden,'
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
before the coming of the snow,
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
to go with the drift of things,
"i think his brother ought to help, of course,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
and yet too ready to believe the most,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
they were welcome to their belief,
so he won't have to beg and be beholden,'
but it were vain to tell her so,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
half in appeal, but half as if to keep
as i walked once round it in possession,
and then he flew as far as eye could see,
The Bird Would Have The Rabbit Out Of
when this one fell
but with one step backward taken
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
when, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
half closes the garden path,
but the flower leaned aside
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
and yet too ready to believe the most,
they were welcome to their belief,
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
as well to-night as any night,
the bird would cease and be as other birds
nor yet in any spur it may be to ambition,
But The Black Death On The Handle's
that's standing by the mother, it's so young,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
they turn their back on the land,
he looks on the bright side of everything,
he courts the autumnal mood,
with whom he crosses antennae,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
If Certain It Seems, But Hold
with night so near, but not much further up,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
that�s what for reasons i should like to know�
to learn about not launching out too soon
something you somehow haven't to deserve,"
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
"when was i ever anything but kind to him?
we didn't change without some sacrifice,
But The Languor Of It And You're Two
the pile is ours, we dragged it bough on bough
of my regret hung not on all the land,
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
the languor of it and the dreaming fond;
within, the bride in the dusk alone
and children in the ships and in the towns?
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
the telescope at one end of his beat,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
Among Bare Maple Boughs, And One Thing More
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
first soldier, and then poet, and then both,
and eased his heavy breathing, but still slept,
expressed them, and its curves were no false curves
further o�erhead than all but stars and angels,�
for still others they found,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
they cannot mean to plant it, no
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
So, But Dared Not Spare To A Deeper
straight up and down of tall slim trees
leaving on one wire tooth a lock of hair,
before it stained a single human breast,
with a thick thumbnail to show how it ran
change like this to a deeper roar?
but dared not spare to do the best we could
so as to please you, but i might be taught,
if that was what it was, you can be certain,
he promptly gives it back, that is if still
but, warren, please remember how it is,
so, but the hand was gone already,
i was glad though, no end, when we moved out,
and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him,
With The Lips And Throat,
a dole of bread, a purse,
the beast,
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
and a shout greets the daring one,
a little through the lips and throat,
with the glittering things,
these pools that, though in forests, still reflect
that struck the earth,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
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,
Scared A Silver Blade,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
like the two strokes across a dollar sign,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
pale orchises, and scared a bright green snake,
leap up, like that, like that, and land so lightly
one on a side, it comes to little more,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
and that has made all the difference,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
he wanted to go over that, but most of all
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
that water never did to land before,
But Though They Kept,
and then came racing wildly on again
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
and yet too ready to believe the most,
but yield who will to their separation,
and to do that to birds was why she came,
To The Gully,
to watch his woods fill up with snow,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
to every thing on earth the compass round,
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
to seek the happy isles together,
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
someone to salt the half-wild steer,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
and started down the gully,
the graveyard draws the living still,
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
to seek the happy isles together,
the bridegroom thought it little to give
I Trusted The Demon Arose From His Wallow
in hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,
you take the lake, i look and look at it,
i trusted the brook barrier, but feared
i thought a few might tangle, as they did,
will run as hushed as when they were a thought
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
Mixed Ready To Fight For Me�that Held Me,
'first tell me what it was you thought you heard,'
man came to tell it what was wrong,
she leaves them bitten when she has to fly,
to raise herself and look again, he spoke
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
the town turned out to fight for me�that held me,
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
and cold to an orchard so young in the bark
back to the place from which she came
to induce the one snow on his head,
Still,
of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
enchant the land with amethyst,
and the shallow waters aflutter with wind
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
that rested on the banister, and slid downstairs;
to read the gravestones on the hill;
make the settled snowbank steam;
and smooth and moist in vernal heat,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
Like A Second Trial,
like a malice prepense,
a dole of bread, a purse,
doing a man's work, though a child at heart
how was it with him for a second trial,
all for me and not a question
they looked about for someone to have done it,
and all for nothing it had ever done
what had that flower to do with being white,
"i want him to, he'll have to soon or late,"
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
They String Together With A Leather Glove,
and acquire a listening air,
and a man with a smoky lantern chimney?
and fit the earth like a leather glove,
as on a farm, but planets, evening stars
and a cold chill shivered across the lake,
they string together with a living thread,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
To White Rest, And A Last Sounding Word
and spread her apron to it, she put out her hand
and still the bird revisited her young,
and caught me splitting wood in the yard,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
across the sill from the outer gloom,
to white rest, and a place of rest
one on a side, it comes to little more,
then there were three there, making a dim row,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
spares to strike for the common good,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
almost like a call to come in
and a last sounding word to say,
he hates to see a boy the fool of books,
The Advantages It Has, So Long And So
to drum on the floor with scurrying hoofs
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
not yet the little dotted in me seek,
they cannot look in deep,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
and so we went with pail and can
where someone used to climb and crawl
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
That Brought Him To Take,
were he not gone,
that when they're gathered shake
she had to lie and hear love things made dreadful
thus till he had them almost feeling dared
saying, and she could have him, and before
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
what form my dreaming was about to take,
that brought him to that creaking room was age,
they knew, and just when he was at the height,
he courts the autumnal mood,
and he a winter breeze,
and the body he wore
That Was A Spell To Go? First
and what do we see?
for what they�d better wait till we have done,
"where do you mean to go? first tell me that,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
change like this to a deeper roar?
as if to ask, 'why don't you make some motion?
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
and try to stack them in a better load,
one had to be versed in country things
so, but the hand was gone already,
but he had gone his way, the grass all mown,
he may not speak of it, and then he may,
they seemed to fail the bluebirds under them
to have the best he had, or had to spare
Scared The River;
its two banks have not shut upon the river;
and show on the water its crystal teeth,
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
like a limp rose-wreath in a fairy dance,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
and a hush falls for all acclaim,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
the roadside flowers, too wet for the bee,
autumn, yes, winter was in the wind;
in clomping off; and scared the outer night,
at broken windows flew out and in,
in summertime with a witching wand,
and a gem-flower waved in a wand!
For The Wood But One,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
they string together with a living thread,
and reaching up with a little knife,
turned into a weapon,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
something or someone watching made that gust,
love and forgetting might have carried them
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
and heat so close in; but the thought of all
in any rough place where it caught,
that in the general mowing
part of a moon was falling down the west,
Upon The Road, To Put A Tree Between
but glad with him, i worked as with his aid,
to raise herself and look again, he spoke
to put a tree between us when he lighted,
of course he's nothing to us, any more
and yet too ready to believe the most,
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
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,
As He Had Been Heard To Say By
he had been heard to say by several,
be that as may be, she was in their song,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
as two in whom them were proved mistaken,
and that has made all the difference,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
this new-built city from both work and sleep,
once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
they string together with a living thread,
with a houseful of hungry men to feed
If I May Recall It,
she had to ask, "what was it, dear?"
"just that i see,"
mind you, i waited till len said the word,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
whether i am glad, sorry, or anything,
if i ever read it,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
nothing so new�something we had forgotten,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
no more to build on there, and they, since they
to seek the happy isles together,
that would be good both going and coming back,
though it still could sing,
The Dead
"how often already you've had to be told,
how else? they are not known to send the dead
the letter you will find me subscript to
and half grant what i wish and snatch me away
i doubted if i should ever come back,
whose woods these are i think i know,
A Quiverful To Make Pretense
a quiverful to choose from, since he wished me
and say no word to tell me who he was
he will not see me stopping here
man came to tell it what was wrong,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
and spread her apron to it, she put out her hand
and checked my steps to make pretense
The Same?
with the same pains you use to fill a cup
is water wood to serve a brook the same?
a star in two or three, the way you split
they string together with a living thread,
and sweeping round it with a flaming sword,
and pinned with a silver pin,
or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand,
the footpath down to the well is healed,
his icicles along the wall to keep;
and so at last to learn to use their wings,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
That Jangled Even Above The Skies,
the clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
and in the morning glow,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
that we sit sometimes in the wayside nook,
and then i said the truth and we moved on,
so, but the hand was gone already,
not caring so very much what she supposes,
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
had worn them really about the same,
that jangled even above the general noise,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
To Each The Water For Which We May
anything special you're a-mind to name,
baptiste knew how to make a short job long
scorning greatly not to demand
to yield with a grace to reason,
to seek the happy isles together,
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
the water for which we may have to look
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
to white rest, and a place of rest
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
each laid on other a staying hand
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
But After All Where Are We?
but work ain't all, len undertakes too much,
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
and often they brought so much to say
so close to our dwelling place?
we've looked and looked, but after all where are we?
but we were england's, still colonials,
said some of the best things we ever said,
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
The Same,
but thought has need of no such things,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
that tinged the atmosphere,
the way he mixed that in with other things,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
with sorrow and dread,
and since there were but two of them,
of many times his size,
To Stay,
to pick where none could miss them
but the pure fate to which you go
to read the stones and go away
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
But Behind's Behind, The Worst That You
can but give ear to that sweet cry
but behind's behind, the worst that you can do
don't carry it to someone else this time,
i shall not forget how his laugh rang out,
but i went near to see with my own eyes,
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
other folks have to, and why shouldn't i?
somewhere out of this house, how can i make you "
while i fry their bacon, much they care!
To See, If It Down As If It
and draws it down as if it were a lover
if we who sight along it round the world,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
so, but the hand was gone already,
but never anymore the dead,
said some of the best things we ever said,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
where nobody can call you crone,
That Such A Brook Ran Water, But I
anything they put in for furniture
i would not come in,
that such a brook ran water, but i wonder
i saw you from that very window there,
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
something you somehow haven't to deserve,"
to yield with a grace to reason,
of course they had to feed him without dishes,
of ever coming to the place again
were native to the grain before the knife
and making the best of their way back to life
nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
