Poems about spade
Chid My Fingers
and lest i cry
i woke and chid my honest fingers,
i've diamonds on my fingers
but when spades had done
and came my way no more,
and put it in the drawer,
and now before the door
a day when it was not,
When Spades Had For Less
would'st thou seek so just say
when frightened home to thee i run
and push it with my fingers next
on the heads that started with us
and then it's time to strike my tent
we talk in careless and it toss
but once aslant
but when spades had done
were had for less
our souls saw just as well
A Grant Of The Summer Nears
for pang of jealousy
of death's tremendous nearness
a grant of the divine
the sweeping up the heart,
and as the summer nears
returning to the west
the grace that i was chose
the grave was finished but the spade
was he afraid or tranquil
all else accused me and i smiled
let me think i'm sure
death we do not know
could take it
i'd do this way
Yet, What Was That Was That Reckless
behind light words that tease and flout,
and living people, and things they understand,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
a brook to none but who remember long,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
and long to know if still i held them dear,
for the least sin, it wouldn't take us long
what should that reckless zephyr fling
how no one dead will seem to come,
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
next to nothing for weight,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
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,
But No, Not Yet, A Snort To Learn
and so at last to learn to use their wings,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
that now it means to stay,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
Through,
and makes gaps even two can pass abreast,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
and seek with laughter what to brave;
for you to doubt the likelihood,
they did not have the wit to say,
It Was In A Frenchman Couldn't Get His
was in her clouded eyes; they saw no fear there,
the moon, though slight, was moon enough to show
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
a frenchman couldn't get his human rating,
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
what will next prove a rose,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
someone had better be prepared for rage,
