Poems about reward
Be Of Sight, In Sound,
be of me afraid,
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
my reward for being, was this,
till i was out of sight, in sound,
You'll Know It Be Alive
you too take cobweb attitudes
just to follow your dear future
if love reward the end
it feels a shame to be alive
a doubt if it be fair indeed
you'll know it as you know 'tis noon
i will of you
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
Though Life's Reward Be Night
we trust that she was willing
though life's reward be done
nature will that it be night
then look for me, be sure you say
I Offered Him A Day,
better of it continual be afraid
i'd give to live that hour again
yet know not what was done to me
who to have had it, would have been
how warm, they were, on such a day,
i offered him a crumb,
the eyes beside had wrung them dry,
alas, how heedless were the eyes
and yet, it will not go
would but some god inform him
and carries one out of it to god
though life's reward be done
Be Done
"dissolve" says death the spirit "sir
that "god have mercy" on the soul
what once was "heaven"
i'll hand it to the angel
the whole of it came not at once
like that old measure in the boughs
be the perfect one
how sick to wait in any place but thine
slow night that must be watched away
broke perfect from the pod
heaven is so far of the mind
and thought of them so fair invites
though life's reward be done
Or If It Makes No Difference Abroad
a needless life, it seemed to me
it would be life
it makes no difference abroad
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
though life's reward be done
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
and would it feel as big
i wonder how the rich may feel
or if it dare to climb your dizzy knee
then look for me, be sure you say
i should have been too glad, i see
but early, yet, for god
it has no future but itself,
Then It's Ease
immediately, that anguish stooped
as some she never knew
but heaven made both, impossible
and then, as if the hands
how excellent a body, that
nor will i, the little heart's ease
the heart i carried in my own
and then it's out of sight
though life's reward be done
How Many Times It Is Put Away
of his profound to come
though life's reward be done
dreams are well but waking's better,
no nearer neighbor have they
when the latter is put away
it is the ultimate of talk
to stop and tell them where it is
you will not wake them up,"
the world, will have its own to do
you almost feel the date
i know the whole obscures the part
the pearl the just our thought,
the difference made me bold
how many times it ache for me today confess
Not Make It Feel,
nor will i, the little heart's ease
what little of him we possessed
and did the sunshine face his way
and lets the morning go
we can but follow to the sun
i could not see to see,
but could not make it feel,
madonna dim, to whom all feet may come,
than that, be sweeter wise;
that you be not ashamed
and whom you told it to beside
gave even as to all
though life's reward be done
possibly but we would rather
not like the gnat had i
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?
We Had No One Thing More That Was
must speak and tell us where they are,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
not loth to have excuse to go,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to find that the utmost reward
for you to doubt the likelihood,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
we ran as if to meet the moon
Tomorrow Dead Will Come To It Wouldn't Reward
tomorrow dead will come to stay,"
still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awake
and listen - how it ought to go!
yet knowing how way leads on to way,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
the footpath down to the well is healed,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
to seek the happy isles together,
next to nothing for weight,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
to rest from his besetting fears,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
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,
The Trees Must, Let Them Silently Toss;
if the trees must, let them silently toss;
the water for which we may have to look
and bring it to market when you please
and listen - how it ought to go!
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awake
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
but it were vain to tell her so,
if i was not to speak of it to you
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
you make me angry, i'll come down to you,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
but i may be one who does not care
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
their characters, or whether they are safe
It Stained A Side, It Stained A Cord
a wind to blow in earnest from some quarter,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
the water for which we may have to look
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
trying to sell his farm and then not selling,
to have you come and camp here on our land,
to find that the utmost reward
and to the forest edge you came one day
when a friend calls to me from the road
one on a side, it comes to little more,
before it stained a single human breast,
it was a cord of maple, cut and split
But After All Where Are We?
and dreaming, as it were, held brotherly speech
outside there in the entry, for i saw it,"
"yes, i took care to keep well out of earshot,"
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
it seemed too tiny to have room for feet,
i went to show you how to make it stay,
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awake
they leave us so to the way we took,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
but now for me than you the other way,
we've looked and looked, but after all where are we?
