Poems about talk
Not Know It
the hillsides must not know it
where none of us should be,
not if to talk with me
i could not tell the date of mine,
Needs But No True Eye
but no true eye
i don't care for pouting skies!
he did not know i saw;
it near as i can guess
i've heard an organ talk, sometimes
for i have but the power to kill,
needs but to remember
what if they hear me!
did we disobey him?
yet know not what was done to me
i liked as well to see
We See
too jostled were our souls to speak
and life and i keep even
and i could i stand by
i'll put a trinket on,
then will i not repine,
not if to talk with me
supporting what we see
i found the phrase to every thought
we shall not want to use again
i've none to tell me to but thee
i only must not change so fair
i know lives, i could miss
That Could Make A Rose
but the least push of joy
he sometimes holds upon the fence
that could not stop to be a king
if god could make a visit
the things that death will buy
not if to talk with me
i hear him ask the servant
if i could bribe them by a rose
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
Some Such An One As Just Apprenticed To
the little bird would not dissent
this was a poet it is that
it is the ultimate of talk
it was not for me
for it would split his heart, to know it
did you ever look in a cannon's face
or something in the sight
or wind's bright signal to the ear
as just apprenticed to the air
for such an one as me
with other and 'twill yawn the more
some such spice express and pass
cross it, and overcome the bee
and i dropped down, and down
are mostly so to me,
How Many Times It Is Put Away
of his profound to come
though life's reward be done
dreams are well but waking's better,
no nearer neighbor have they
when the latter is put away
it is the ultimate of talk
to stop and tell them where it is
you will not wake them up,"
the world, will have its own to do
you almost feel the date
i know the whole obscures the part
the pearl the just our thought,
the difference made me bold
how many times it ache for me today confess
There Be Reckoned Up?
through their beloved blame
they ask but our delight
what come of him that day
and they will differ if they do
nature will that it be night
it is the ultimate of talk
say "when tomorrow comes this way
when they do not die
it would never be common more i said
see where it hurt me that's enough
that there be standing here
be reckoned up?
there is one farther than you
not audible as ours to us
you write him every day
Not Enough For Me?
let me not shame their sublime deportments
what word had they for me?
not if to talk with me
unable they that love to die
and heaven not enough for me
precious to me she still shall be
i'd give her
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
i cannot tell the sum,
As Our Idea
escape from circumstances
then to him who bear
i could suffice for him, i knew
we question if the man
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
yet was not the foe of any
as fair as our idea
it is the ultimate of talk
I Thought
to fight aloud, is very brave
we miss her, not because we see
i wondered which would miss me, least,
they looked like frightened beads, i thought
who never lost, are unprepared
in lands i never saw they say
as much of noon as i could take
the dying need but little, dear,
nor ever turn to tell me why
i could not die with you
because i know it's true
not if to talk with me
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
As If It Split
'tis true they shut me in the cold
that something it did do or dare
trying if it split
came once a world did you?
what word had they for me?
did not talk of returning!
but, were it two
as if the house were his
neither place need i present him
i'll hand it to the angel
what i see not, i better see
The Hole,
they are that that talks of going
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
the only other sound's the sweep
the road would fail; and on that side the fire
and roll back down the mound beside the hole,
up the brass barrel, velvet black inside,
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
somehow the change wore out like a prescription,
Make We No Thesis Of Course There Must
and of course there must be something wrong
they are that that talks of going
the fen had every kind of bloom,
the only other sound's the sweep
such is the uncaged progress of the bear,
make we no thesis of the miller's plight,
holding the curve of one position,
That Water Never Any Different,"
how over, though, for even me who knew
which showed how much good school had ever done him,
but he turned first, and led my eye to look
i tried to make him talk about his travels,
he went behind it to make his last stand,
before he arrives to say it out,
that water never did to land before,
and often they brought so much to say
so now and never any different,"
be glad of water, but don't forget
a tree's leaves may be ever so good,
and leave it there far from a useful fireplace
the bridegroom thought it little to give
'pray, Are You Know?
or dumb because you know?
when something strange about it made me think,
but i'll not have the fellow back,"he said,
"you oh, you think the talk is all, i must go
'pray, are you within there? bestir you, bestir you!
'den when you say you come? it's cost you nothing,
i sha'n't be gone long, you come too,
i craved strong sweets, but those
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
A Pebble Of Quartz? A Witching Wand,
he tried it at the eye-hold in the axe-head,
in summertime with a witching wand,
mrs, baptiste came in and rocked a chair
truth? a pebble of quartz? for once, then, something,
a narrow passage all the way around,
and question what of the night to be,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
but the pure fate to which you go
it wouldn't do to be too hard on brad
the way we piled it, and let�s be the talk
it is because like men we look too near,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
from a twig's having lashed across it open,
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
They Seemed To Hear Us Talk
i left you in the morning,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
and nothing to look backward to with pride,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
to wash the steps with pail and rag,
where someone used to climb and crawl
you come to fetch me from my work to-night
to hear us talk
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
they seemed to fail the bluebirds under them
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
to find that the utmost reward
and yet too ready to believe the most,
That At Such A Time!
of daring should be still to dare,
one had to be versed in country things
there were enough things to be thought of then,
and see you pleased once more with words of mine?
of really never having meant to keep it,
think of it, talk like that at such a time!
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
vague dream head lifted out of the ground,
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
Dread Fifty Above More Than Broken,
than populous
dread fifty above more than fifty below,"
they throw a forest down less cut than broken,
something or someone watching made that gust,
but whether or not a man was asked
no, not as there is a time to talk,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
but so with all, from babes that play
and so not carrying the tree away
Half Closes The Graves Of The Hard Work,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
to earn a living on the concord railroad,
they cast on the ground
the graves of men on an opposing hill,
the spoils of the dead,
the understanding of a friend,
the fruited bough of the juniper
half closes the garden path,
she loves the bare, the withered tree;
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
I Have Promises To Keep,
i was something among the leaves i sought
since first i saw thee glance,
any fixed wages, though i wish i could,'
i should suppose, i can't say i see how,
and tell you that i saw does still abide,
but i have promises to keep,
but the mountains i raise
i shouldn't mind his bettering himself
are you dumb because you know me not,
i heard you talk,
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,
They Fall, They Fall, They Intersect
no, not as there is a time to talk,
little less nothing! and that ended it,
rouse them all, both the free and not so free
should waste them all,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
in one last look the way they must not go,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
A Time To A Window Light, And Then
or keeps the end from being hard,
going the other way and they not seen it,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
or shadow, but a cavern hole,
across the reeds to a window light,
nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
a narrow passage all the way around,
it only gives our wish for blue a whet,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
it is the autumnal mood with a difference,
it has lasted me many and many a year,
a small bird flew before me, he was careful
a voice said, look me in the stars
the blue prunella every child's delight,
He Moves In Darkness As It To
but if you so much as dare to speak,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
they must go down past things coming up,
your going and coming, and you like it here?
don't carry it to someone else this time,
and he could wait -we'd see to him tomorrow,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
to be coming home the way i was,
they knew they had but to stay their stay
that now it means to stay,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
Dooryard And Having Scared The Watching For That
everywhere,
dooryard and road ungraded,
and holding by the stalk,
and having scared the cellar under him
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
to every thing on earth the compass round,
on waking to find valor reign,
on through the watching for that early birth
the sound was behind me instead of before,
To Seek The Flowers To Seek The Flowers
into my own
and might out meddling make her more afraid,
and talk about your everyday concerns,
to seek the happy isles together,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
with the flowers to play,
To Go There,
we did that day was mingle great and small
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
to be coming home the way i was,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
just as you will till it becomes a habit,
since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven as yet
to which it is reserved for god above
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
they did not have the wit to say,
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
when supper's on the table, and we'll see
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
where they have left not one stone on a stone,
Care May Have Excuse To Stay,
care may have thought it was care,
but if it had to perish twice,
not loth to have excuse to go,
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
with all i have to hold with hand and mind
and long to know if still i held them dear,
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
so dawn goes down to day,
she likes to halt us in our runner tracks,
`what Do You Want With One Of Those
`what do you want with one of those blame things?'
and talk about your everyday concerns,
a house that lacks, seemingly, mistress and master,
and medicine and rest, and you a week,
and melting further in the wind to mud,
If The Air
my instep arch not only keeps the ache,
it only gives our wish for blue a whet,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
the birds that came to it through the air
to which you give the assenting voice,'
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
if we who sight along it round the world,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
grief may have thought it was grief,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
it is the autumnal mood with a difference,
it was a cord of maple, cut and split
