Poems about silence
I Had No Notice Gave She, But This,
and i, and silence, some strange race
which, sir, are you and which am i
would be acuter, would it not
i had no cause to be awake
oh if there may departing be
i will not name it in the street
the things that death will buy
the first that i could recollect
but this, might be my brief term
no notice gave she, but a change
and grateful that a thing
he offers his berry, just the same
But Since It Is Sometimes Caught
wills silence everywhere,
and yet, how still the landscape stands!
but since it is playing kill us,
nature, like us, is sometimes caught
For Me
power is only pain
while oceans and the north must be
for these were only put to death
some things that fly there be
a rich man might not notice it
no message, but a sigh
and heaven not enough for me
or else forgive not me
i could suffice for him, i knew
and if indeed i fail,
had all my life but been mistake
as pride were all it could
most i love the cause that slew me,
and i, and silence, some strange race
To See That You Should See That Will
thro' what transporting anguish
not such a stanza splits the silence
death is but one and comes but once
to see that none is due?
but not so soon
i could not die with you
just that you should see
the purple could not keep the east,
it's like the woods,
but early, yet, for god
but that old sort was done
it shone so very small
nor beam would it nor warm
i had the glory that will do
Why, I Can Spare This Summer, Unreluctantly,
and a silence the teller's eye
grant me that day the royalty
instead of one
life just or death
and walking long before the morn
to look upon her like alive
could stretch to look at me
just looking round to see how far
i can spare this summer, unreluctantly,
and men too straight to stoop again ,
could give them any pause;
to gain it, men have borne
why, i have lost, the people know
came out to look at me,
Silenced, As The Light Before
and silenced, as the awful sea
and pushed away a sail
to my necessity stooped down!
adjusted it to place
how well i knew the light before
my heart would wish it broke before
and that is his business not ours
to one who never felt it blaze
Before Man To Have Their Not Being Wasted
before man to blow to right
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
next to nothing for weight,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
to seek the happy isles together,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
now lichens are due to have their turn,
to better its perch for the night,
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
and still the bird revisited her young,
and grants us by silence the boon of her roses,
by countless silken ties of love and thought
Across The Least Knot, Equal To The Least
as witness all within
and tags and numbers it for future reference,
only, of course, they can't sustain the part,
which has its sounds, familiar, like the roar
the faded earth, the heavy sky,
the total sky almost without defect,
free from the least knot, equal to the strain
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
the light of heaven falls whole and white
across the lines of straighter darker trees,
The Least Stiffening Of Bending Like A Daunting
reflects a standing gull
but in a moment not, a little spurt
on every tree a bucket with a lid,
and turned on him with such a daunting look,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
the light of heaven falls whole and white
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
Before The Hand!
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
unsaid between us, brother, and this remained
father and mother married, and mother came,
with those great careless wings,
and alter with age,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
with the curves of his axe-helves and his having
or that showed with the lapse of time to vain
to the dark and lament,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
Now The Hills,
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
