Poems about single
They're Here, Though; Not A Force
incite the timid prayer
how vigorous a force
but for that single spark,
they're here, though; not a creature failed
i thought that such were for the saints,
i would not stop for night, or storm
you would not know it from the field
With Me,
in dying 'tis as if our souls
and come away with me,
the single to some lives,
with but a fraction of the life
and overtaken in the dark
themselves the verge of seas to be
when ourselves were also dusty
Life Is Gotten Not Of It
a sepulchre, fears frost, no more
and hold no higher than the plain
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
was all the one that fell
on here and there a creature
is difficult, and still
is gotten not of fingers
some secret that was pushing
i've known her from an ample nation
life is what we make of it
the single to some lives,
then space began to toll,
in kingdoms you have heard the raised
and after that there's heaven
Now We Hunt The Single Doe
lest he pursue
that "whatsoever ye shall ask
and yet, unto the single doe
and now we hunt the doe
the hillsides must not know it
what parallel can be
Only A Nap
god hath made nothing single but thee in his world so fair!
and thou hast looked on them
and if indeed i fail,
i had the glory that will do
then look for me, be sure you say
but solemnest to know
to miss it beggars so
only a breeze will sigh
or ever took a nap
and wishes had he any
since no one know his circumstance
they wonder if it died on that
I Never Thought To Fall
that never ceased to fall
i never thought to see
should i again experience
where this attendeth me
one need not be a house
one need not be a house;
the single to some lives,
that split their route to the sky
then summer then the heaven of god
such bliss had i for all the years
for just this single time
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?
Yet Nothing I Should Come?
next to nothing for color,
seems to owe naught to any single cord,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to ask if there is some mistake,
what would you say to war if it should come?
and long to know if still i held them dear,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
and what have i then?
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
yet nothing i should care to leave behind,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
you were forever finding some new play,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
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,
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
The War Seemed Over More Like The War
where nobody can call you crone,
do you know, what we talked about was knowledge?
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
the war seemed over more for you than me,
make the day seem to us less brief,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
before it stained a single human breast,
man acts more like the poor bear in a cage,
like the two strokes across a dollar sign,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
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,
To Go There,
it seems forever
she took a doubtful step and then undid it
before it stained a single human breast,
loud, a mid-summer and a mid-wood bird,
warren leaned out and took a step or two,
a farm, a countryside, or if he can,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
the question that he frames in all but words
and where they sought without the sword
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
and that was the case to carry it in,
