Poems about sleep
Then, To Go To Run
an anguish at the mention
or sometimes at your side to run
and then, to go to sleep;
and if i do when morning comes
day knocked and we must part
and thought of them so fair invites
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
Then How The Place
i had rather dwell like her
then how the grief got sleepy some
we two looked so alike
that we can show today?
"
they said that jesus always came
if love be just beyond
some think it service in the place
No Summer Could See What Moved Them
the waves grew sleepy breath did not
no summer could for them
but this time adequate erect,
for whom, the time did not suffice
then look for me, be sure you say
and much can go,
over and over, like a tune
but it's many a lay of the dim burgundy
yet was not the foe of any
how sick to wait in any place but thine
that as myself could pity him
when you were willing
you would not know it from the field
so you could see what moved them so
When Certain It Troubled Me As Once I
when certain it must die
when night is almost done
and life is over there
that makes two him and life!
to make sure all's asleep
and he would come again
it troubled me as once i was
it kept me from a thief, i think,
When That We Lost
the curiosity
our little garden that we lost
but only knew by looking back
i'd rather be the one
it seemed the common way,
when that which is and that which was
half glad when it is night, and sleep,
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
So, I Had Worn It, Every Day,
dying annuls the power to kill,
it burned me in the night
see the bird reach it!
we bee and i live by the quaffing
to wait an hour is long
it is too difficult a grace
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
so, i could buy it
for i had worn it, every day,
and been myself that easy thing
then how the grief got sleepy some
it takes me all the while to poise
Have Sobbed Ourselves Almost To Show
have sobbed ourselves almost to sleep,
forever might be short, i thought to show
i knew last night when someone tried to twine
i'll tell you how the sun rose,
i had the glory that will do
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
from him and holy ghost and all
and we approach him stern
and much not understood
and if it serve you for a house
if i should bribe the little bird
You Like Summer?
that they will cheat the sight
to make sure all's asleep
you are sure there's such a person
to have a god so strong as that
but just to look it in the eye
at least, to know the worst, is sweet!
would you like summer?
taste of ours,
When The Difference Between Despair
the difference between despair
and certainly that one
is all i own
my message must be told
when the latter is put away
we bought to ease their place
when one has failed to stop them
she stopped a traveller's privilege for rest
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
if once more pardon boy
but make no syllable like death
they would not encore death
as should sound to me
how foreign that can be
Thought Belong To Love, But Since
though thine attention stop not on me
tell him just how the fingers hurried
but death had told her so the first
i've heard my father tell
tell me what time the weaver sleeps
why do they shut me out of heaven?
nor could i rise with you
i did not know the year then
nor had i time to love, but since
thought belong to him who gave it
yet both so well knew me
it has no future but itself,
it makes an even face
it only moved as do the suns
had let its pleasure through
To Eat Or Sleep
despair
then fit our vision to the dark
to show the sun the way
on the heads that started with us
without a thing to do
i did not dare to eat or sleep
for doubt, that i should know the sound
Be Of Consciousness, Her Awful Mate
of consciousness, her awful mate
of velvet, is his countenance,
but just to look it in the eye
the dying need but little, dear,
be of me afraid,
if, haply, any say to me
to make sure all's asleep
the thinking how they walked alive
then how the grief got sleepy some
then stopped no other track!
themselves go out
for their sake not for ours
i too if he
what shall i do when the summer troubles
You Got Sleepy And You Got Sleepy
shook my strong trust
i'd give i'd give my life of course
i offered her no word
not like the gnat had i
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
and perish but a bough between
go blossom for the bees i said
i will singing go
i that way worship thee,
the grave would hinder me,
a day when it was not,
but then his house is but a step
turn it, a little full in the face
death, the only one
does not so much as turn his head
If They Refuse How Then Know Why When
how many legions overcome
as dying say it does
possibly if they refuse how then know
i shall know why when time is over
bereft i was of what i knew not
although i heard them try
neither place need i present him
if then he hear
and when i looked again
and he was barefoot, i'm afraid!
half glad when it is night, and sleep,
with transport, that would be a pain
himself has but to will
i could not count their force
May Pause, And Disappear
i'm not ashamed of that
my best was gone to sleep
so sick to guess
perhaps i couldn't
not to cry tim and i
i saw no way the heavens were stitched
may be easier reached this way
and as escapeless quite
come, and disappear
the maimed may pause, and breathe,
so long i fainted, to myself
i had rather dwell like her
i just wear my wings
My Best Was Gone To Wait In Any
how sick to wait in any place but thine
neither if he visit other
and then it doesn't stay
and yet existence some way back
my best was gone to sleep
just to be poor for barefoot vision
to him of adequate desire
to keep the other still
but just the names, of gems
before the world be green
the day that was before
was that she might
Death We Do Not Sickness Then
we wondered at our blindness
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
it was not sickness then
love is like life merely longer
and tell you all your dreams were true
you taught me waiting with myself
won't you wish you'd smiled just
death we do not know
you could not
should you but fail at sea
Yet We Should See
unto like story trouble has enticed me
death won't hurt now dollie's here!
what right have i to be a bride
you would not know it from the drifts
that one, to be quite sure
and later, in august it may be
the hours slid fast as hours will,
that dull benumbing time
and yet we guessed it not
yet they are sleeping still,
therefore, as one returned, i feel
just that you should see
i'll hand it to the angel
we should not mind so small a flower
and could not know the feeling 'twas
Thinking Perhaps That Soundest Time
had gone to sleep that soundest time
because he's sunrise and i see
so safer guess with just my soul
thinking perhaps that i looked tired or alone
without debate or pause
between the bliss and me
the thought to be alive
is the most we can
He Could Reproduce The Glory That Will
beware, lest this little brook of life,
yet they are sleeping still,
if love be just beyond
i had the glory that will do
and he could reproduce the sun
before we felt the dark
i had been hungry, all the years
Than The Time
the distance would not haunt me so
the crier's voice would tell me
show me the bells
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
so, i could buy it
sometimes, i think that noon
if i may have it, when it's dead,
because it's sunday all the time
if one wake at midnight better
the waves grew sleepy breath did not
earth would have been too much i see
more fair, because impossible
than the rest have gone,
that never had a name
is it dead find it
The Angel
shadows hold their breath;
behind the eyes of god,
to hold my life, and hold my ears
and leave me standing there,
the way ourself, must come
and if i do when morning comes
i meant to find her when i came
i did not dare to eat or sleep
i'll hand it to the angel
i got so i could take his name
if i believed god looked around,
you will not wake them up,"
I Did Not Go
i fear me this circumference
i think a little well like mine
i don't know him; snugly built!
and yet, it will not go
and then does nothing
i did not dare to eat or sleep
and went to sleep
and noon should burn
and later when we die
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
look if she should know
don't you know me?
or did it just begin?
when was it can you tell
Just For One To Stipulate
be of me afraid,
he will tell me what "peter" promised
they'd judge us how
but just for one to stipulate
because there was a winter once
because escape is done
done
just we two meet
i think a little well like mine
closer so i at my sleeping
Would Not Either Noticed Death Enable Thee
might death enable thee
not either noticed death
so safer guess with just my soul
the pearl the just our thought,
you've seen the color maybe
what more the woman can,
but you have enough of those
and would not let the seconds by
yet she cannot speak,
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
i knew so perfect yesterday
just when the grave and i
but then his house is but a step
but when he singeth then
But We Might Learn To Be Ended
no more he singeth mournful, her sadness she doth lose,
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
and push it with my fingers next
not for the sorrow, done me
but we might learn to like the heaven,
it takes me all the while to poise
what comfort was it wisdom was
but dying is a different way
pounce on his bruises one say or three
when we inspect that's audible
the mold-life all forgotten now
you and eternity the
the general heavens upon
Let's Asleep
not all the snows could make it white
i would not mind the journey there
turn on me when i fail or feign,
if you remember, and were saved
might some one else so learned be,
let's play those never come!
to make sure all's asleep
when i go out of time
just one time!
term of light this day begun!
that passed, an hour ago!
touch liberty then know no more,
came once a world did you?
although i knew to take it
Sleep Is So Large
could it be madness this?
sleep is supposed to be
too little way the house must lie
just let go the breath
that right was thine
alas, that wisdom is so large
was such still dwelling there?
as if the sea should part
the second time is set,
Then, To Go To Paradise, With Me
conviction might, of me
to paradise, with me
and then, to go to sleep;
they put me in the closet
Occur To Die
you taught me fortitude of fate
occur to her alone
it's thoughts and just one heart
as my thought today
would but some god inform him
you'll find it when you try to die
so glad we are a stranger'd deem
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
he touched me, so i live to know
i asked the east,
and i, no other prayer,
and then, to go to sleep;
and when the sung go down
promise this when you be dying
To Keep The Things That Death Will Buy
no drug for consciousness can be
to keep the other still
as my thought today
had gone to sleep that soundest time
to lose if one can find again
my best was gone to sleep
that in my awkward gazing face
and he could reproduce the sun
the things that death will buy
it cannot be my spirit
Who Till They Sight The Land
oh, could you catch her last refrain
some know him whom we knew
then how the grief got sleepy some
this put away
i've known her from an ample nation
but just for one to stipulate
he comes just so far toward the town
as wrecked men deem they sight the land
if town it have beyond itself
and he would come again
who till they died, did not alive become
i too if he
i offered being for it
it was not sickness then
'twas Warm At What Bees For Us
ambition cannot find him,
"they have not chosen me," he said,
how pleased they were, at what you said
'twas warm at first like us
as in sleep all hue forgotten
what bees for us to hum
some found it mutual gain
Modest, Let Us Walk Among It Only Can
modest, let us walk among it
a smile, to show you, when this deep
it's all i have to bring today
for me my soul to wear
needless to tell thee so
just long enough for hope to tease
why give if thou must take away
nor stop to cross ourselves
but tell him that it ceased to feel
too sure to dote upon!
it only can suffice!
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
how many times it ache for me today confess
Tell The Common Way,
and sigh for lack of heaven but not
be of me afraid,
it seemed the common way,
see where it hurt me that's enough
i could not tell the date of mine,
i think the days could every one
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
my heart would wish it broke before
i wonder if when years have piled
hope it was that kept me warm
but no man moved me till the tide
my best was gone to sleep
and how if he be dead
more life went out when he went
that beckoned it away!
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,
To Go With The Tuft Of Things Of
the tuft of flowers
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
to go with the drift of things,
of course they had to feed him without dishes,
of things of moment to which, they wist,
But Done,
it hadn't found the place to blow;
but never anymore the dead,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
when others are sleeping,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
and nothing happened, day was all but done,
for still others they found,
Don't Want The Best For Me,
i doubted if i should ever come back,
when it seemed as if i could bear no more,
but if you so much as dare to speak,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
don't carry it to someone else this time,
it's not that len don't want the best for me,
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
"but did he? i just want to know,"
i do not see why i should e'er turn back,
two that don't love can't live together without them,
But He Meant To No One But He
to see if he was talking in his sleep,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
blood-root, and violets so soon to be now,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
it seemed too tiny to have room for feet,
it was too lonely for her there,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
so long as he would leave enough unsaid,
a light he was to no one but himself
We Dance Round In Living Is To Interfere
my object in living is to unite
the planets seem to interfere in their curves -
were native to the grain before the knife
the meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
and in a little a french touch in that,
we dance round in a ring and suppose,
two and a child,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
and slept, the log that shifted with a jolt
All Of One Position,
holding the curve of one position,
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
to white rest, and a place of rest
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
all song of the woods is crushed like some
and the world had found new terms of worth,
and every fleck of russet showing clear,
assorted characters of death and blight
and the nature of time and space,
the obscuration upon earth,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
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
He Was My Eye To A Daunting Look,
i wasn't looking for him and he's changed,
he was before my time i never saw him;
but he turned first, and led my eye to look
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
his icicles along the wall to keep;
and the nature of time and space,
essence of winter sleep is on the night,
with which the modern world is being swept,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
and turned on him with such a daunting look,
and a hush falls for all acclaim,
and turned on him with such a daunting look,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
unless in the horizon rim,
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,
With Only Strength Of Dauntless Wings,
the more of right the more he loves;
and the nature of time and space,
for thought has a pair of dauntless wings,
with only strength of the fighting arm
the fen had every kind of bloom,
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
and work was little in the house,
the barn opposed across the way,
that struck the earth,
pointed the decimal off with one deep thrust,
When The House Isn't Sentient; The Wind Is
that's standing by the mother, it's so young,
this sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is,
but a house isn't sentient; the house
when the sun is out and the wind is still,
there is the gale to urge behind
and slows his horse to a meaning walk,
We Made It's Not Medicine
and miles to go before i sleep,
i think they would believe the lie,
we made it secure against being, i hope,
oh, let�s not wait for rain to make it safe,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
and draws it down as if it were a lover
that that was the place to carry a heart
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
he wanted to go over that, but most of all
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
Telegraph,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
and where they sought without the sword
and making the best of their way back to life
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
On The Holy Land,
sounds nobler there than 'neath the sun;
the leaves are all dead on the group,
on the sleep of the dead,
with the slow smokeless burning of decay,
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
without the gift of sight,
affection or the want of it in that state,
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
the heart he bore to the holy land,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
the barren boughs without the leaves,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
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
When Others Are Turned
and nothing happened, day was all but done,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
we did that day was mingle great and small
there where it is we do not need the wall,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
when others are sleeping,
but, warren, please remember how it is,
and not one but hung limp, not one was left
but never anymore the dead,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
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?
With Doctoring, But It Sounded,
and be one traveler, long i stood
and so the choice must be again,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
he kept from school, or did his best to keep
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
and to do that to birds was why she came,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
though we choose greatly, still to lack
to listen ere we dared to look,
Upon The Sleep Of Lumber Folk,
now if it was dusk outside,
how was it with him for a second trial,
this was a man, baptiste, who stole one day
and he spoke the bridegroom fair,
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
to white rest, and a place of rest
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
and fighting over it perished fain,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
that all day fights a nervous inward rage,
a speck that would have been beneath my sight
So's
and lonely as it is, that loneliness
it is under the small, dim, summer star,
and the pear is, and so's
this sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is,
She,
so small the window frames the whole of it,
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
but still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
and the sun shrunken yellow in smoke,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
that tinged the atmosphere,
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
turn the poet out of door,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
Taken With Vague Unearthly Cry,
that all your days are dim beneath,
each circling each with vague unearthly cry,
without the birds, without the breeze,
and descended outside,
and since they grew duller
with the glittering things,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
of trees and crack of branches, common things,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
and started down the gully,
and by the brook our woods were there,
and started down the gully,
