Poems about setting
Even In The Air
still the eternal rule
was like the stillness in the air
we passed the setting sun,
and even in the urn,
The Distant Say That Bright Majority
but there is no gratitude
our little garden that we lost
some say that bright majority
a furtive look you know as well
or what the distant say
fame of myself to lack although
better than new could be for that
to favorites a few
and see the people going by
one and one are one
you hear a being drop
the walls begun to tell
each other's setting saw
there is one farther than you
the only one forestalling mine
More Life Went Out When He Went Out
and sense was setting numb
the one who could repeat the summer day
but what that place could be
it troubled me as once i was
more life went out when he went
and wondered what they did there
time never did assuage
me prove it now whoever doubt
or tell god how cross we are
more hands to hold these are but two
may be easier reached this way
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
so when 't was time to see,
But Since
death leaves us homesick, who behind,
uncertain if myself, or he,
nor had i time to love, but since
but if he ask where you are hid
when i have lost, you'll know by this
i only must not change so fair
and then it doesn't stay
when it goes, 't is like the distance
ungained, it may be, by a life's low venture,
how better, than a gem!
a pope, or something of that kind!
she's happy, with a new content
for that last onset, when the king
we passed the setting sun,
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,
To The Ancient Lands Where It Than Just
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,
blind creature; and a while he didn't see,
when he did what he did and burned his house down,
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
he's trying to lift, straining to lift himself,"
to rest from his besetting fears,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
and there's more to it than just window-views
to the ancient lands where it left the shells
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
But Which It Was Intended So,
setting the thing that is supreme,
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
there were enough things to be thought of then,
to take him in, and might be willing to
and so the choice must be again,
but wherever the truth may be
will be more lonely ere it will be less -
and ever it was intended so,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
i should not be withheld but that some day
and so the choice must be again,
but if you so much as dare to speak,
the thoughts may not have risen that so keep
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,
These Nights,
'i wonder,' i say, 'who the owner of those is,'
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
in the unloading, silas does that well,
besides the grave,
and left no trace but the cellar walls,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
more than you have yourself, some of these nights,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
and often they brought so much to say
so as to say for certain i was here
and i looked to be happy, and i was,
and setting sun to hyla brook, i gave it
my long scythe whispered and left the hay to make,
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
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
Don't Carry It With Him For A Spell
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
by setting it out on a northerly slope,
how was it with him for a second trial,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
to warm the frozen swamp as best it could
to whoever the knock
for you to doubt the likelihood,
what had that flower to do with being white,
and to whom i was like to give offence,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to express how much it didn't want to die,
don't carry it to someone else this time,
they leave us so to the way we took,
not for me to ask which, when what he took
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
Of The Shadow Of The Gaps I Myself
and setting sun to hyla brook, i gave it
i shall have less to say,
to please the yelping dogs, the gaps i mean,
of the great harvest i myself desired,
beyond the shadow of a doubt;
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,
Had Brought To Have Been Its Mark,
seems to owe naught to any single cord,
had brought to rest,
they were welcome to their belief,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
to rest from his besetting fears,
to seek the happy isles together,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
