Poems about time
I Shall Forget The Sun And Moon Must
i shall forget the drop of anguish
the sun and moon must make their haste
a lord, might dare to lift the hat
a clover, any time, to him
How Many Times It Ache For Me Today
without the power to die
when frightened home to thee i run
how many times it ache for me today confess
unto the scene that we do not
Who Knows But At The Estimate
who knows but at the sight of that
this time beyond the estimate
the witnessing, to us
you, sir, taught first to me,
But Just To Hear The Sooty Faces
never mind the sooty faces
but just to hear the grace depart
first time they try the sky!
till i could take the balance
Then The Bride, And Prance Again,
conviction might, of me
contented, known, before
will peep, and prance again,
the bride, and then the bridegroom, the two, and then the one,
and so the night became,
and then i started too,
and i had put away
the heart i carried in my own
i'll seek his royal feet
and then it's time to strike my tent
so i let him lead me home,
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
I Could See
and failed to wake them up
i could not prove the years had feet
i wonder if it hurts to live,
to tell him it is noon, abroad
what more the woman can,
there is a flower that bees prefer
as far as it could see
when there's no one here
i only know no curricle that rumble there
does not know they are
nor can you tell me
except that you than he
and every time i speak for him
that did it tear all day,
that when i could not find it
Condemned But Then I'm Not A Foot Nor
my face to justify
my lip to testify
condemned but just to see
three times we parted breath and i
like mine for not a foot nor hand
but then i'm not so staid as he
if what we could were what we would
we learn to know the planks
But Stopped, When Qualified To Love, But Not
a fear will urge it where
it would be life
it tried to be a rose
a bomb to justify
whether to reveal
one port suffices for a brig like mine
might death enable thee
it feels a shame to be alive
but not the grief that nestled close
perhaps he doesn't know the house
but stopped, when qualified to guess
nor had i time to love, but since
tell him the page i didn't write
Some Kiss It
the missing all prevented me
the distance would not haunt me so
and every time i speak for him
i should not fear the foe then
i only must not change so fair
i know it, by the numb look
lie between them now,
some touch it, and some kiss it
and put a flower on it
to any happy flower,
heaven to us, if true,
and would delight to see
anonymous delight to know
she'd pass for barehead short way off
perhaps i couldn't
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
To Live So Looked Itself On Me
death did not notice me,
no crowd that has occurred
was dying as he thought or different
so looked itself on me
with "this was she
it was a narrow time
to live so small as i
It Held Two, Nor Those It Held Two,
for pang of jealousy
which anguish was the utterest then
and that by right that he
as if the house were his
had he the power to dream
who'll let me out some gala day
how just this time, some perfect year
where you had put me down
some one the sum could tell,
it just held two, nor those it held
he had not on a crown indeed,
my reward for being, was this,
i started early, took my dog,
the love, tho', will array me right
it was not night, for all the bells
Then It Would Split His Heart, To
they summoned us to die
to elude me so!
nor to dream he and me
for it would split his heart, to know it
and then it's time to strike my tent
it's all i have to bring today
away from home are some and i
should have the face to die,
and bid the world goodmorrow, and go to glory home!
and then abroad the world he go
they leave us with the infinite,
in dreams i see them rise,
yet not too far to come at call
But, Looking Back The Place, With All My
how ill the creatures bear
i never saw the sea;
i left the place, with all my might
and i am all alone
it puzzled me to know
perhaps you think me stooping
a needless life, it seemed to me
next time, the things to see
but, looking back the first so seems
to see that none is due?
So When You Praised Me, Sweet,
and we behold no more,
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
a heaven not so large as yours,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
so when 't was time to see,
neither if he visit other
I Can Do I Who Heard It
need you unto him
give spices unto men
a woman white to be
better than music! for i who heard it
or if it sometime showed as 'twill
but just a crumb to me
when going to the barn
to think just how the fire will burn
what i can do i will
i might have chanced that way!
i'm sure 'tis india all day
i'll bear it better now
what if they hear me!
I Wake
why heaven did not break away
and tell you all your dreams were true
that every time i wake
i think to live may be a bliss
i would not break thee
won't you wish you'd smiled just
Were All Life To Know Each Other
contented as despair
and as escapeless quite
and then 'twas otherwise
neither could be heard
three times we parted breath and i
were all that i could see
but should the play
what will become of me?
you are sure there's such a person
that we but recollect the one
no one to teach me that new grace
all life to know each other
you said it hurt you most
As You Were Due
i should not fear the foe then
forever might be short, i thought to show
possibly but we would rather
then maybe, it would puzzle us
it cannot be my spirit
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
that you were due
for news that they be saved
as you will in heaven
next time, the things to see
Yet We Do Life's Labor
if he dissolve then there is nothing more
sometimes not often in eternity
therefore we do life's labor
and yet we guessed it not
but won't you wish you'd spared one
yet not too far to come at call
so therefore let me in,"
fitter to see him, i may be
when act and will are done
So I Carry With Me
heaven is shy of earth that's all
better than new could be for that
and mine some foolisher effect
the face i carry with me last
because it's sunday all the time
it will be ample time for me
the hillsides must not know it
a rich man might not notice it
where is the may
so i said or thought
i have so much to do
Earth Would Have Lost, I Have Lost, I
the soul cannot be rid
so when she comes this way,
i only must not grow so new
it seems as though the time
a landscape not so great
earth would have been too much i see
how happy i was if i could forget
whom i have lost, i pious guard
i had not had but for yourself
forever might be short, i thought to show
The Hills Have A Thief Quick Startled
justified through calvaries of love
of all the birds that be
and life would all be spring!
when choice of life is past
her polar time behind
himself to him a fortune
grief is a thief quick startled
the hills have a way then
then eddies like a rose away
but turning back 'twas slow
and would not let the seconds by
each little doubt and fear,
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
Altho' I Could Fear A Smile, To Think
that i could fear a door
altho' i prove it, just in time
praying that i might be
i know, and they know me;
so well that i can live without
to think just how the fire will burn
they ask but our delight
life is what we make of it
the lightning playeth all the while
this being comfort then
a smile, to show you, when this deep
and hit a world, at every plunge,
the dying as it were a height
Tell Me By Time The Hours Meek
so wondering thro' the hours meek
taught me by time the lower way
just revelation to the beloved
a thrust and then for life a chance
is not a controvertible
it varies in the chin
put it in latin left of my school
it takes me all the while to poise
tell me how far the morning leaps
when i forget to tease
Three Times We Parted Breath And I Looked
nor to dream he and me
of meeting them afraid
thinking perhaps that i looked tired or alone
three times we parted breath and i
when skill entreated it the last
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
alas, that wisdom is so large
I've Heard But One
for pang of jealousy
that face will just be thine
i shall know why when time is over
be of me afraid,
i have heard but one
i've heard my father tell
yet why so little sound myself
that kept so many warm
That You Than He
so trust him, comrade
the wisdom it be so
that took its cambric way
for somewhat that it saw?
out of sight?
what of that?
except that you than he
but their completeless show
a doubt if it be us
so when 't was time to see,
that such was not the posture
it was the brave columbus,
the sky is low, the clouds are mean,
to show the sun the way
like the june bee before the school boy,
i used to when a boy
I Came
and shouts for joy to nobody
and then, those little anodynes
and a hoarse "get out of the way, i say,"
are mostly so to me,
i had no time to hate, because
when it was dark enough to do
i meant to find her when i came
i asked no other thing
how some one treated him;
and no man is the one
so short a thing to sigh
it seems so straight to lie away
I Lost A House
just how long-cheated eyes will turn
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
to no one that you know
of where i would reside!
i lost a world the other day!
and if it serve you for a house
i take a flower as i go
that every time i wake
But The Success Was His It To Beside
from the belief that somewhere
but the success was his it seems
and whom you told it to beside
and you should live
are so high up you see
so still so cool
so many drops of vital scarlet
in easy even dazzling pace
that they are beautiful
be beautiful as they prepare
time feels so vast that were it not
there's somewhat prouder, over there
since none of them are mine,
that did it tear all day,
foot of the bold did least attempt it
To The Roll,
too out of sight though
some one the sum could tell
to those who look on you
next time, the things to see
now to the application, to the reading of the roll,
the larger glory for the less
but never deemed the dripping prize
Too Plummetless That Goes That Goes That Goes
but seemed engrossed to absolute
our souls saw just as well
was this the patientest
gone as soon as known
as one should come to town
it will be ample time for me
rejected be of her?
too plummetless that it return
a bird by chance that goes that way
as dying say it does
it could not hold a sigh
I Shall Never Tell!
i lived on dread; to those who know
show me them said i
how could i of him?
i pray him too explore
i am not used to hope
but i shall never tell!
i'd rather be the one
i only have it not tonight
i shall know why when time is over
tell him the page i didn't write
for mine to look at when i liked
and push it with my fingers next
Tell Him It Does
his merit all my fear
it struck me every day
thee then no me
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
tell him it wasn't a practised writer
it was dying then
a beggar here and there
the lingering and the stain i mean
a doubt if it be fair indeed
as dying say it does
it will be ample time for me
the lily waiting to be wed
patient upon the steps until then
death doubts it argues from the ground
the bird would not arise
What Portion Of Me To Tell Me I
it's thoughts and just one heart
that every time i wake
i've none to tell me to but thee
what portion of me i
you and i the secret
You See Your Lifetime
toward the god of him
upon the ignorance steals
glee the great storm is over
but the push of joy
the thought to be alive
they may not finally say, yes
you see i cannot see your lifetime
when we are going home
yet i for it would pay
will suit me just as well
More Life Went Out When He Went Out
and sense was setting numb
the one who could repeat the summer day
but what that place could be
it troubled me as once i was
more life went out when he went
and wondered what they did there
time never did assuage
me prove it now whoever doubt
or tell god how cross we are
more hands to hold these are but two
may be easier reached this way
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
so when 't was time to see,
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
Permitted Face To Be A Rose
it may be wilderness without
as far as it could see
it tried to be a rose
permitted face to face to be
the easier to let go
because it's sunday all the time
insert the thing that caused it
the life is thick i know it!
oh, dear, i guess if he were a boy
had i not this, or this, i said,
Some One The Sum Could Tell Him Not
but tell him that it ceased to feel
so when 'twas time to see
just him not me
did he find it supple?
he was weak, and i was strong then
and yet we guessed it not
see where it hurt me that's enough
some one the sum could tell
such an one to say
Because It's Sunday All The Time
that stop-sensation on my soul
my first well day since many ill
they given us presents most you know
because it's sunday all the time
Some Things That Darkness Is About To Him
that darkness is about to pass,
you must forget the warmth he gave,
it troubled me as once i was
some things that stay there be
before he comes we weigh the time!
and made as he would eat me up -
to him who has it and the one
I Heard It Cannot See
that knows it cannot see
that were not, we are sure
could not decide between
her needle would not go
and then it's time to strike my tent
i would as soon attempt to warm
i have a bird in spring
i heard it hit the ground
i know the whole obscures the part
tell which it's dull to guess
but make no syllable like death
the soul cannot be rid
or sometimes at your side to run
only a bee will miss it
Say That A Misery
without a misery
one anguish in a crowd
the future never spoke
of how many be
on here and there a creature
but called the others clear
when peace was far away
say that a little life for his
a beggar here and there
so like the meadows now
because it's sunday all the time
is it dead find it
but just a crumb to me
it near as i can guess
So When The Time Had Leaked,
but just to hear the grace depart
i knew no more of want or cold
and not enough of me
proves it there's no sea, or rather
that when i could not find it
is when the cars have come
and so when all the time had leaked,
and what we saw not
i shouldn't like to come
and still it hurt you, as some bird
i could not see to see
I'd Do Not Fright
of shrinking ways she did not fright
because he knows and
who till they died, did not alive become
i had not strength to hold
when i could take it in my hand
won't you tell them to?
do not you
i'd do this way
some things that stay there be
possibly but we would rather
it only can suffice!
whom we can never learn
who, vital only to our thought
time feels so vast that were it not
I Should Be A Pair Of Us Don't
nor noticed that the ebbing day
as oft as he go down
that we but recollect the one
we can but follow to the sun
it may be a renown to live
an awe if it should be like that
it doesn't state you how
and when your little lifetime failed,
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
they put me in the closet
i should have had the joy
i wished a way might be
A Time When It Was Large Enough For
but instinct esteem him
nor like himself the art
when one has given up one's life
when it is lost, that day shall be
a time when it was not
was large enough for me,
and chatted close with this grand thing
when he was mean and new
but no man moved me till the tide
i wonder if it hurts to live,
say if it's really warm at noon
but do one face us suddenly
Yet It's Sunday All The Time
we came to flesh upon
condemned but just to see
so when 'twas time to see
because it's sunday all the time
so we must meet apart
the perfect, nowhere be afraid
oh what an afternoon for heaven,
not like the dew, did she return
and yet it tasted like them all,
and then i come away,
and then it doesn't stay
life's little duties do precisely
as should sound to me
if others want to see
Because They Liked Me When I Fail Or
turn on me when i fail or feign,
nor had i time to love, but since
because they liked me "still"
that they have done expecting me
i need no further argue
Or If I Can Live Without
me prove it now whoever doubt
so well that i can live without
what and if it be
and could be mighty, if i liked
i used to when a boy
or if it sometime showed as 'twill
no summer could for them
When I Could Suffice For Me
then we hide our brave face
have ventured all upon a throw!
when i go out of time
that he'll mistake and ask for me
i could suffice for him, i knew
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
Sometimes, I Have So Much To Do
that i could fear a door,
i offered her no word
and been myself that easy thing
i have so much to do
i'll tell it you
and told him what i'd like, today,
sometimes, i think that noon
we are far too grand
oh, if i were the gentleman
what word had they, for me?
and be with you tonight!
you'll know it by the row of stars
how pleased they were, at what you said
Mirth Is The Mail Of Anguish At The
an anguish at the mention
mirth is the mail of anguish
his individual one
their far parades order on the eye
the soul has special times
and carries one out of it to god
could mar it if it found
i'm that or nought
and after that there's heaven
Had Leaked,
but grappling, conquers it
love reckons by itself alone
a still volcano life
since midnight happened say
had been legible to me
so safer guess with just my soul
might some one else so learned be,
and so when all the time had leaked,
You Beg Him Not To Die Tomorrow
nay hold it it is calm
they struggle some for breath
the man to die tomorrow
henceforth her only one!
and how if he be dead
be of me afraid,
i touched with caution lest they crack
you beg him not to go
too plummetless that it return
than that
possibly but we would rather
and that i am coming too
i felt it publish in my eye
a little note when you awake
no one could play it the second time
Could The Cars Have But The Cars Have
my worthiness is all my doubt
and beg me put it on
for i had worn it, every day,
still to be explained,
for i have but the power to kill,
i'd rather be the one
it seems as though the time
it has no future but itself
and grateful that a thing
is when the cars have come
could the children find the way there
this covert have all the children
it cannot be my spirit
somehow, it will be even
But If Eager For The Shame
that, weary of this beggar's face
the date, and manner, of the shame
not period that died,
he seek conviction, that be this
three times he would not go
most i love the cause that slew me,
but if the lady come
if eager for the dead
the wind does working like a hand,
lest back the awful door should spring,
until they lock it in the grave,
oh, dear, i guess if he were a boy
he'd be too tall, the tallest one
If I
the missing all prevented me
the distance would not haunt me so
if blame be my side forfeit me
because he knows it cannot speak
i shall know why when time is over
day knocked and we must part
he longer must than i
if i could find it anywhere
what plenty it would be
you almost feel the date
to own it touch it
i sometimes drop it, for a quick
just when the grave and i
one sister have i in our house,
So The Eyes Beside Had Wrung Them
lest anybody spy the blood
the eyes beside had wrung them dry,
and so the night became,
where was once a room
therefore, as one returned, i feel
more fair, because impossible
nor had i time to love, but since
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
Love Too Best To Own
the thinking how they walked alive
it could not hold a sigh
would not blush to own
how foreign that can be
till love that was and love too best to be
and life is over there
for treason not of his, but life's,
a tremor just, that all's not sure,
i sometimes drop it, for a quick
and so i deck, a little,
You Doubt That Your Bird Was True?
why make it doubt it hurts it so
it's thoughts and just one heart
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
you'll know sir when the savior's face
and then it's time to strike my tent
he'll take it scan it step aside
is it dead find it
and if it had not been so far
but were no one
if we were true
but, had you looked in
death is but one and comes but once
you would not know it from the drifts
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
I The Sum,
mistake defeat for death each time
i had the glory that will do
they may not finally say, yes
where others, dare not go at noon,
was large enough for me,
an awe if it should be like that
for doubt, that i should know the sound
i cannot tell the sum,
have i the art to say,
people like the moth,
Then I Would Go, To Heaven To
too near to heaven to fear
when you were willing
i could not count their force
first time they try the sky!
so not to see us but they say
i would go, to know!
and then i started too,
and all we need of hell,
you for you, and i, for you and me
As Well
our souls saw just as well
'twasn't dark for he went too
'twas not so much as david had
show me them said i
when i go out of time
i've known a heaven, like a tent
i never felt at home below -
i had the glory that will do
there'll be that dark parade
i'd give i'd give my life of course
to him to live was doom
say that a little life for his
was that she might
as should sound to me
if blame be my side forfeit me
As Far As Death This Time, Consciously, Of
more imminent than pain
slow night that must be watched away
to hold our senses on
to that repealless thing
but just for one to stipulate
to nowhere seemed to go
some keep the sabbath going to church
for whom, the time did not suffice
but this time, consciously, of grace
he hurts a little, though,
if you remember, and were saved
and carried it to god
better than new could be for that
as far as death this way
To Love, But Since
no numb alarm lest difference come
to know if any human eyes were near
good to know, and not tell,
the ballots of eternity, will show just that,
is all that's left them, now
than the rest have gone,
with transport, that would be a pain
the day must follow too,
grant that we may stand,
when we are going home
that one, to be quite sure
they're here, though; not a creature failed,
nor had i time to love, but since
i may remember him!
that something it did do or dare
Were But Mine The Right Between
need you unto him
or else forgive not me
contenteth me
oh poor and far
it's thoughts and just two heart
too narrow is the right between
as we went out and in
and then it's time to strike my tent
were but mine the charter of the least fly
out of sound out of sight
Earth's Face
that, weary of this beggar's face
where each has left a friend
that he'll mistake and ask for me
would not the fun
it cannot recollect
just finding out what puzzled us
indignant that the joy was come
justified through calvaries of love
how many times it ache for me today confess
did they come back no more?
i had been hungry, all the years
i've known her from an ample nation
and far from heaven as the rest
when friend and earth's occasion
Her Polar Time They Will Be What
the hunger does not cease
and they will differ if they do
i meant to have but modest needs
how fitter they will be for want
the maker of ourselves be what
the lightning playeth all the while
and hungered for the same
her polar time behind
but held her gravity aloft
that held the dams had parted hold
there came one drop of giant rain,
first time they try the sky!
whether my bark went down at sea
Forever Of His Profound To Taste
afraid to trust the morn
of his profound to come
without the fear to justify
sometimes not often in eternity
nature and some men
that he loved men
forever of his fate to taste
skill to hold my brow like an earl
and then to lay them quiet back
was he afraid or tranquil
he comes just so far toward the town
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
In Which My Call Would Have Been Too
the bird would not arise
belief but once can be
the grace myself might not obtain
i think the days could every one
in which my call would come
what could it hinder so to say?
when heaven was too common to miss
earth would have been too much i see
now have i bought it
i never lost as much but twice,
time feels so vast that were it not
of how many be
and now you've littered all the east
Covered Up Our Thought,
nor ever turn to tell me why
and heaven not enough for me
the waiting then will seem so worth
triumph may be of several kinds
toward artifice of time or men
the pearl the just our thought,
and covered up our names
and forward
and not begin again
where each has left a friend
that time to take it home
Parting Is All We Know Of Us
as should a face supposed the grave's
upon the forehead of a bust
by means of it in god's ear
nor will i, the little heart's ease
that but for love of us
parting is all we know of heaven,
and the sermon is never long,
he hurts a little, though
and wishes had he any
the soul has special times
never had a doubt
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
See The Thinking How Small In Those Who
the thinking how they walked alive
more life went out when he went
how midnight felt, at first to me
so i said or thought
i'm that or nought
nor ever now so sweet
though the faith accommodate but two
how small in those who live
you cannot find out all about
see the bird reach it!
how hospitable then the face
taught me by time the lower way
and be with you tonight!
In The Latter Is Put Away
mistake defeat for death each time
and forget the color of the day
when the latter is put away
i will not name it in the street
in which his face is set
but the least push of joy
I Prove It, Just In Time
i envy light that wakes him
when i could take it in my hand
so short a thing to sigh
so you could see what moved them so
altho' i prove it, just in time
i would go, to know!
at least, it solaces to know
That At The Earth They Tell Me Today
that you never do it
how many times it ache for me today confess
and the earth they tell me
to know just how he suffered would be dear
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
it could not hold a sigh
how sweet i shall not lack in vain
This Way, I Wake
not even god can heal
he, too, did fly away
but, were it two
because he knows and
and the day that i despaired
that every time i wake
this way, i keep from missing
why, i have lost, the people know
but, what of that?
unworthy, that a thought so mean
neither he to me
presuming me to be a mouse -
But Then His House Is But Then His
mistake defeat for death each time
conviction every day
'twas sunset all the day
and tho' the skies are crowded
and when the orchards stop their tune
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
but then his house is but a step
a little road not made of man
Who Danger And The World, Will Have Its
who danger and the dead had faced,
where he turned so, and i turned how
time feels so vast that were it not
and rooms where those to be alive
the world, will have its own to do
how many times they bore the faithful witness
that dull benumbing time
no message, but a sigh
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
Till When They Reached The Light Before
no lighting, scares away
of shrinking ways she did not fright
thinking perhaps that i looked tired or alone
or quarter as i signify
and carries one out of it to god
with just the grant to do
so easy to the sky
and if the further heaven
how well i knew the light before
i tried to drop it in the crowd
till when they reached the other side,
and now before the door
and leave me standing there,
nature, like us, is sometimes caught
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
Good To See That None Is Due?
i should not fear the fight!
but i shall never tell!
struck, was i, not yet by lightning
sometime, upon a bough,
good to know, and not tell,
what will become of me?
to see that none is due?
as far as it could see
As A Drama
one anguish in a crowd
due promptly as a drama
ceases to be a secret then
and let you from a dream
we come to look with gratitude
forgive me, if the grave come slow
as if a kingdom cared!
they ask but our delight
where presence is denied them,
and day that was behind were one
and when the sung go down
taught me by time the lower way
You Would Awaken Them!
decades of arrogance between
grandfather of the days is he
as even in the sky
you would not know it from the drifts
that time to take it home
maybe that would awaken them!
too near to god to pray
'tis able as a god
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
nor will he like the dumb
more hands to hold these are but two
as we who never can
say last i said was this
and why it was so still
Me As Much But This Time, Consciously,
would not so ravished turn
i never lost as much but twice,
and could not breathe without a key,
lie between them now,
but this time, consciously, of grace
uncertain if myself, or he,
so, i could buy it
i'll hand it to the angel
it troubled me as once i was
i had no cause to be awake
how pleased they were, at what you said
you for you, and i, for you and me
and leave me standing there,
Happy It Will Be Ample Time For Me
'tis not that dying hurts us so
to universe and me?
it will be ample time for me
happy it be for you a beggar's
turn it, a little full in the face
and see the things in pod
one in the red array
Did They No More Remember Me
to him, it would be death
if then he hear
i don't know when
did they forget thee?
he'll tell me!
"but i have chosen them!"
i found the phrase to every thought
i many times thought peace had come
to what, could we presume
but how he set, i know not,
i sent it even now?
forgive me, if the grave come slow
it had availed me now,
and they no more remember me
they're here, though; not a creature failed,
If It Tried To Be A House
but the ones who overcame most times
when they together victory make
and if it serve you for a house
it tried to be a rose
It Always Felt To Teach Me A Wrong
our fathers being weary,
this chasm, sweet, upon my life
so when she comes this way,
and when i was not heeding,
some that never lay
that is solemn we have ended
before he comes we weigh the time!
it always felt to me a wrong
how dreary to be somebody!
no one to teach me that new grace
might dare to touch it now!
i could have touched!
when it plucked me?
is enough for me
Trust In The Churches Are So Frequent
neither witnessed rise
the churches are so frequent
trust in the unexpected
best gains must have the losses' test
all this and more i cannot tell
have i the art to say,
you would not know it from the field
because i know it's true
i many times thought peace had come
it might have been the lighthouse spark
we paused before a house that seemed
that he'll mistake and ask for me
That I Flew
no fear of frost to come
no different our years would be
that i might have the sky
that time i flew
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
You Hear A Brave Man Feels
his merit all my fear
as harass us like life and death
you hear a being drop
next one might be the golden touch
the man upon the woman binds
a best disgrace a brave man feels
not so arrogant this noon
what shall i do it whimpers so
nor will i, the little heart's ease
the world, will have its own to do
you see i cannot see your lifetime
it puzzled me to know
'tis Sweet To Know Of Heaven,
but when the soul is in pain
we wonder it was not ourselves
parting is all we know of heaven,
'tis sweet to know that stocks will stand
how well i knew the light before
and so when all the time had leaked,
as if the chart were given,
as if for you to choose,
That From You Feel It
the wisdom it be so
and could not know the feeling 'twas
i can't tell you but you feel it
that from you or i,
and when i looked again
as stood you here
then stopped no other track!
to one who never felt it blaze
that time to take it home
The Time!
then my face take her recompense
before he comes we weigh the time!
and then as if the hands
the dust did scoop itself like hands
there hangs a smaller ear
when one has failed to stop them
that if the spirit like to hide
and thought of them so fair invites
I Could Bring You Jewels Had I Could
how many legions overcome
why heaven did not break away
but if the lady come
when i go out of time
me stop to prove it now
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
i got so i could take his name
and though i may not guess the kind
we don't cry tim and i,
i feared the sea too much
He And He And He And He
it ceased to hurt me, though so slow
lest that should conquer me,
if such it prove, it prove too
as that the slave is gone,
there's been a death, in the opposite house,
and he and he in mighty list
nor definitely what it was,
when it goes, 't is like the distance
the purple could not keep the east,
the orchard, when the sun is on
but not the grief that nestled close
and grateful that a thing
so when 't was time to see,
as i, who testify it
I Haven't Quite The Ecstasy
there is a shame of nobleness
there was no malady
that others could exist
better will be the ecstasy
danger! what is that to her?
that love is life
that every time i wake
i haven't quite the strength now
i know a place where summer strives
Sounds Long, Until I Could See It Now
yet how nature froze
i could see it now
sounds long, until i read the place
time feels so vast that were it not
perhaps a home too high
What They Did There
and he i pushed with sudden force
what if i file this mortal off
to no one that you know
or sometimes at your side to run
no one to teach me that new grace
her glory i should know
and wondered what they did there
Yet Blamed The Fate That Flung It If
yet blamed the fate that flung it less
but longer than the little rill
the bees will not despise the tune
i shall know why when time is over
could mar it if it found
a rich man might not notice it
as we who never can
itself be fairer we suppose
i had not minded walls
they're here, though; not a creature failed
unless they didn't come
if they would linger for a bird
three times he would not go
or brethren, had he
the years, our pilfered things
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
They Struggle Some Perfect Year
they struggle some for breath
the lingering and the stain i mean
that but for love of us
better than new could be for that
and then be audibler
better than new could be for that
for mine to look at when i liked
when you were willing
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
that life like this is stopless
then look for me, be sure you say
how just this time, some perfect year
would be acuter, would it not
they cannot put away
neither place need i present him
Three Times He Must Have Passed From Thee
afraid! of whom am i afraid?
then midnight, i have passed from thee
that face will just be thine
all this and more if i should tell
if any are not sure
the need did not reduce
i had the glory that will do
and i have ceased to wonder why
needs but to remember
and then she ceased to bear it
three times he would not go
he must have achieved in person
to those who failing new
between my country and the others
The While
patience of itself
the lightning playeth all the while
and then it's time to strike my tent
and what a privilege to be
nor does the night forget
It Is The Tyranny
nor whose the tyranny
it is the white exploit
one anguish in a crowd
more mountains then a sea
he'd climb if he could!
as dying say it does
say "when tomorrow comes this way
that after horror that 'twas us
i shall be perfect in his sight
that every time i wake
that last day that i was a life
it was a different tune
as if it held but the might of a child
Remember As Despair
contented as despair
remember as thou go
i worshipped did not "pray"
because i see new englandly
you'll know sir when the savior's face
how many times it ache for me today confess
we show them prayer
but were it told to me today
perhaps you're going too!
when we stop to die
So Looked The Face I Looked The Second
that our ignoble eyes
how happy is the little stone
it seems as though the time
the second time is set,
the summer of the just,
scantilly dealt to the summer morning
as we went out and in
so looked the face i looked upon
she could not find her yes
does not know they are
because the winds would find it out
the whole of it came not at once
I Know Why When Time Is Tongueless Before
best grief is tongueless before he'll tell
if you'll just tell me so
i shall know why when time is over
i know not which, desire, or grant
because i could not stop for death,
and he would come again
not that we did, shall be the test
Just This Time, Some Perfect Year
'tis true that deity to stoop
and fear is like the one
for such, the angels go
if when the sun reveal,
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
who put a head away
away from me
yet held my breath, the while
how just this time, some perfect year
she looks down just as often
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
the face i carry with me last
when i could take it in my hand
just as he spoke it from his hands
if he put away
That One, To Be Standing Here
forgive them even as myself
i shall know why when time is over
that there be standing here
that i could ascertain
we will not drop the dirk
let's play those never come!
i go to elsewhere go no more
some touch it, and some kiss it
what, when the rose is ripe
that is covered too
and mockery was still
the blind esteem it be
that one, to be quite sure
that you never do it
Only A Bee Will Miss It Home
how he stretched his anguish to us
her needle would not go
as some she never knew
as even while i looked dissolved
that time to take it home
when going to the barn
only a bee will miss it
happy it be for you a beggar's
when choice of life is past
that is the break of day!
parting is all we know of heaven,
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
the quiet ages picked it up
That Every Time I Condemned To Be
one little boat gave up its strife
i slew a worm the other day
i took the smallest room
that every time i wake
till both can see
and yet, it will not go
and i condemned to be
It Will Be Ample Time
take not my liberty
and then abroad the world he go
and where his feet have run
and at my finger's end
it will be ample time for me
make summer when the lady lie
no one could play it the second time
and when at night our good day done
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,
It Hurt You, As Some Bird
whose nightgowns could not hide the wings
and still it hurt you, as some bird
it seems as though the time
an awe if it should be like that
Though She Forget The Name I Cried At
i cried at pity not at pain
though she forget the name i bear
nor ever turn to tell me why
since no one know his circumstance
of early hurt, if such a lapse
grant that we may stand,
and what a billow be,
and then a plank in reason, broke,
but this time, consciously, of grace
and all we need of hell,
the grass so little has to do
Longer Trust
the reason deeper lies,
i pondered how the bliss would look
i knew not but the next
i shall meet with conviction i somewhere met
i stole them from a bee
god gave a loaf to every bird
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
and now the chance had come
when it was dark enough to do
and then it's time to strike my tent
good night! which put the candle out?
because it's sunday all the time
by my long bright and longer trust
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
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
It Was Announced To Me
neither witnessed rise
the loss had been to me
it was announced to me
it will be ample time for me
just him not me
Although I Put Away His Life Closed Twice
although i put away his life
my life closed twice before its close
delayed till she had ceased to know
to look at her how slowly
so when 'twas time to see
how sweet i shall not lack in vain
Nature Will That It Will That Ebbed From
and me it were that ebbed from thee
who knows but at the sight of that
nature will that it be night
but just to hear the grace depart
it will be ample time for me
i reason, earth is short
but since it is playing kill us,
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?
Then Shut The Door
never could to me
i too if he
could i then shut the door
then stepped more fast
that knows not an until
that was a former time
I Wondered Which Would Not Haunt Me Down
my sovereign will relent?
the emperor will say?
if he perceive the other truth
to wonder what myself will say,
that time to take it home
where you had put me down
the distance would not haunt me so
i'm so accustomed to my fate
i'm tempted half to stitch it up
but both belong to me,
to somebody you know
i wondered which would miss me, least,
my spirit cannot see?
and he would come again
The Only Fact
denial is the only fact
without the other therefore
when one has failed to stop them
the day that i shall go
three times he would not go
i fear that he is grand
till love that was and love too best to be
not for me to prate about it!
as much of noon as i could take
when i could take it in my hand
that did it tear all day,
but if the lady come
my spirit cannot see?
what i see not, i better see
First Time They Try The News Of Night
we know that their superior eyes
first time they try the sky!
should you but fail at sea
perhaps you're going too!
i came to buy a smile today
next one might be the golden touch
'twas noon without the news of night
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
Just So Sick To Guess
oh lover life could not convince
because it's sunday all the time
just so far goes away
so sick to guess
I'd Give I'd Give I'd Give My Life
it might be famine all around
i'd give i'd give my life of course
because it's sunday all the time
the hills have a way then
more mountains then a sea
though in another tree
That Will Do
that self were hell to me
three times he would not go
but came another day
but no man heard him cry
to wonder what myself will say,
not like the dew, did she return
i had the glory that will do
how they will tell the story
makes work difficult then
Since A Dying Eye
so when she comes this way,
then, darling, it will close
i sat me down to sigh,
i've seen a dying eye
i have a bird in spring
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
that other kind was pain
these are time's affair
discern d still withholden
For Mine To Look At When Night Is
i lived on dread; to those who know
and next i met her on a cloud
for mine to look at when i liked
because he's sunrise and i see
although i knew to take it
just as sure
only me was still
i have another trust"
the only raiment i should need
say may i have it sir?
three times he would not go
when night is almost done
By Six, The Mind,
no settler had the mind,
by six, the flood had done
that went to help the sea,
but did not finish, some way back,
a time when it was not
and was he confident until
but where it fell
That Makes Two Him And Come Next Hour
continual upon me
he sometimes holds upon the fence
though it be darkness there;
not yet, our eyes can see
and come next hour to look,
modest, let us walk among it
that makes two him and life!
Such Guilt To Me
such guilt to love thee most!
should you but fail at sea
day knocked and we must part
and every time i speak for him
and next i met her on a cloud
in which my call would come
one need not be a house
that hunger was a way
yet know not what was done to me
But For Yourself
never mind silent fields
that every time i wake
but searching i could see
to see this curious friend
just see if i troubled them
that felt so ample yesterday
not yet suspected but for flash
i had not had but for yourself
i'll say remember king
i am alive because
Just To Feel
then to him who bear
how they will tell the story
just to be poor for barefoot vision
the grass so little has to do
but tell him that it ceased to feel
it cannot be my spirit
but could not make them fit,
would put itself abroad
his own would fall so more
how well i knew the light before
i shall know why when time is over
i never thought to see
A Clover, Any Time, To Stay As If,
death leaves us homesick, who behind,
you squander on the dead,
and nobody knows, so still it flows,
there's only one recorded,
but how he set, i know not,
a clover, any time, to him
to stay as if, or go,
I Kept It Seemed The Children Find The
could the children find the way there
as if no soul the solstice passed
the eyes glaze once and that is death
that took its cambric way
it seemed the common way,
a time when it was not
i kept it in my hand
and if it had not been so far
when everything that ticked has stopped
But Since
death leaves us homesick, who behind,
uncertain if myself, or he,
nor had i time to love, but since
but if he ask where you are hid
when i have lost, you'll know by this
i only must not change so fair
and then it doesn't stay
when it goes, 't is like the distance
ungained, it may be, by a life's low venture,
how better, than a gem!
a pope, or something of that kind!
she's happy, with a new content
for that last onset, when the king
we passed the setting sun,
She's Desire,
the white clouds over them on,
toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
a shade more the color of snow,
the more of right the more he loves;
the me-nail click and shuffle of his feet,
and stood the axe there on its horse's hoof,
she bellows on a knoll against the sky,
lay him in state on a sepal,
in summertime with a witching wand,
she's making her cross-country in the fall,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
of easy wind and downy flake,
Making The Literal To Inspire
i found that wing broken today!
i must get out of here, i must get air,
not far, but near, i stood and saw it all
they looked about for someone to have done it,
he added, if you really care to know,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
but dared not spare to do the best we could
we speak the literal to inspire
something we were withholding made us weak
and you aren't darkening other people's lives
and simply staying possesses all
and making the best of their way back to life
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
To Lean Against And The Saw,
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
the petal of the rose
and in the morning glow,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
to see for once the inside of his house,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
that water never did to land before,
and that was the case to carry it in,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
to tell them "supper,"at the word, the saw,
to fill the trees with another shade,
or that showed with the lapse of time to vain
Saying, And Mother Came,
hearth with love,
saying, and she could have him, and before
father and mother married, and mother came,
portent in little, assorted death and blight
cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
so low for long, they never right themselves,
A Child At Heart
doing a man's work, though a child at heart
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
and ever it was intended so,
by measure, it was word and note,
nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
in summertime with a witching wand,
a temple of the heat,
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
with only strength of the fighting arm
before the age of the fern;
the disappearing last of him
Some Good Perhaps To The Wind To The
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
to stop it with a period of ink
and turns to the wind to unruffle a plume,
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
to set your breast to the bark of trees
and list to the love of these,
what but design of darkness to appall?
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
for then there would be business, as it is,
and the work is play for mortal stakes,
and the nature of time and space,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
and the fragile bluets clustered there
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
To That Height,
no, from the time when one is sick to death,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
they have to take you in,"
but unless you put the right thing to its root
in one last look the way they must not go,
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
There In The Doctor Put Him With Ichor
of the great harvest i myself desired,
and the nature of time and space,
and heat so close in; but the thought of all
the doctor put him in the dark of ether,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
all simply in the springing of the year,
the understanding of a friend,
embalm him with ichor of nettle,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
that struck the earth,
when that was, the soft mist
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
and try to stack them in a better load,
Slave To Break A Great Wave From It
but i may be one who does not care
i have to be gone for a season or so,
it never will show much flower or fruit,
going the other way and they not seen it,
and broken it, and used therefrom
though it still could sing,
a great wave from it going over them,
and once she went to break a bough
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
of their worth for you to treasure,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
Was The Wind, Was The Wind, Was The
full many a time to say his say
he says they two will make a team for work,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
but neither one was the thief
that that was the place to carry a heart
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
a baggy figure, equally pathetic
a dole of bread, a purse,
You Needn't Be Afraid He'll Leave You Needn't
waiting for warren, when she heard his step,
than for himself, so placed he couldn't hope
but i'll not have the fellow back,"he said,
�scare you, but if you shrink from being scared,
you needn't be afraid he'll leave you this time,"
no more to tell? we turned to other things,
There His Courage Could Not Waste Time
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
and there his courage could not endure
saying, and she could have him, and before
he consigned to the moon, such as she was,
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,
These Nights,
'i wonder,' i say, 'who the owner of those is,'
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
in the unloading, silas does that well,
besides the grave,
and left no trace but the cellar walls,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
more than you have yourself, some of these nights,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
and often they brought so much to say
so as to say for certain i was here
and i looked to be happy, and i was,
and setting sun to hyla brook, i gave it
my long scythe whispered and left the hay to make,
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
To Rebuke The Right Thing To It And
she rested on a log and tossed
the shattered water made a misty din,
a little through the lips and throat,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
and feel a spirit kindred to my own;
they found a way to put a stop to it,
a flower unplucked is but left to the falling,
water came to rebuke the too clear water,
and then come back to it and begin over,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
to seek the happy isles together,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
Space,
they look at the sea all day,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and the nature of time and space,
maples and birches and tamaracks,
and caught me splitting wood in the yard,
and started down the gully,
the line-storm clouds fly tattered and swift,
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,
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
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,
She Leaves Them Bitten When She Has To
he bore a green-white stick in his hand,
and a voice that has sounded in my room
and warn them away with a stick for a gun,
that a man for god should strike a blow,
a farm, a countryside, or if he can,
if design govern in a thing so small,
if we who sight along it round the world,
you needn't be afraid he'll leave you this time,"
she leaves them bitten when she has to fly,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
it is because like men we look too near,
For The Hard Work, He Wasn't Selling Tickets,
where his job, when he wasn't selling tickets,
that was well! and he stamped a hoof,
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
if from its being kept forever under,
no, from the time when one is sick to death,
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
he consigned to the moon, such as she was,
he marked her through the pane,
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
Let Me Into Your Grief, I'm Not So
and the more loitering are turned
the leaves are all dead on the group,
the road would fail; and on that side the fire
across the reeds to a window light,
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
he said he couldn't make the boy believe
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
i wasn�t going to tell you and i mustn�t,
let me into your grief, i'm not so much
for i have had too much
i've been away once yes, i've been away,
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,
Sits In Tune,
run the rattling pages o'er;
and sits in sirius' disc all night,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
in summertime with a witching wand,
the heart he wore in a golden chain
hung over her in tune,
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
To The Gully,
to watch his woods fill up with snow,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
to every thing on earth the compass round,
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
to seek the happy isles together,
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
someone to salt the half-wild steer,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
and started down the gully,
the graveyard draws the living still,
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
to seek the happy isles together,
the bridegroom thought it little to give
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
He Resolves To Become Intelligible, At Least To
we suffer them by the day
when they were halted by a tumbled wall
too dark in the woods for a bird
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
and a last sounding word to say,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
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
That Opens Earthward, Good And Could Himself Believe
in time to keep me from suspecting him
to overtake me, who should miss me here
he would declare and could himself believe
needlessly soon he had his axe-helves out,
under the formal writing, he was in her sight,
but when in battle the foe were met,
when sedentary and when peripatetic,
that opens earthward, good and ill,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
There Are Things That Can Never Be The
better to go down dignified
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
he wanted to go over that, but most of all
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
coming and going all the time, they are,
there are things that can never be the same,
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
Where His Job, When He Loves;
she let him look, sure that he wouldn't see,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play
where his job, when he wasn't selling tickets,
in time, had she not realized her danger
the sound was behind me instead of before,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
a sort of catch-all full of attic clutter,
more blameless in the sense of being less
the more of right the more he loves;
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
yet for them the lilac renewed its leaf,
Slave To A Flower Unplucked Is But Left
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
a flower unplucked is but left to the falling,
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
toward the throne to witness there
these forces are obliged to pay respect to?'
The Way They Wist,
baptiste drew back and squinted at it, pleased;
that rested on the banister, and slid downstairs;
and the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
the gray grass is scarce dappled with the snow;
the only other sound's the sweep
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
of things of moment to which, they wist,
and the nature of time and space,
and thought of doing something to the shore
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
in one last look the way they must not go,
With Loathing, For Love Of It, And Yet
and some are loaves and some so nearly balls
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
in the unloading, silas does that well,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
but never anymore the dead,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
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
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,
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,
With Doors That Are Slain
even the bravest that are slain
and have our fire and laugh and be afraid,�
coming and going all the time, they are,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
with the glittering things,
with mischievous, vagrant, seraphic look,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
and be glad of a good roof overhead,
looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs,
vague dream head lifted out of the ground,
Don't Carry It With Him For A Spell
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
by setting it out on a northerly slope,
how was it with him for a second trial,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
to warm the frozen swamp as best it could
to whoever the knock
for you to doubt the likelihood,
what had that flower to do with being white,
and to whom i was like to give offence,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to express how much it didn't want to die,
don't carry it to someone else this time,
they leave us so to the way we took,
not for me to ask which, when what he took
The Homes Of Time And The Fragile
than populous
than now these numberless years the elves,
the graveyard draws the living still,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and the fragile bluets clustered there
and the nature of time and space,
of trees and crack of branches, common things,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and looked at the world, and descended;
and the strange birds say,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
and held against the world of hoary grass,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
From The
the hills are verdured pasture-wise;
with rock and washout, and unsafe in darkness;
begin in smudge with ropy smoke and know
when pear and cherry bloom went down in showers
in any rough place where it caught,
to do with what was in the darkened parlour?
he is in doubt whether to admit real trouble to a place beside the
no, from the time when one is sick to death,
from one who had no right to be heard from,
Scared The River;
its two banks have not shut upon the river;
and show on the water its crystal teeth,
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
like a limp rose-wreath in a fairy dance,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
and a hush falls for all acclaim,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
the roadside flowers, too wet for the bee,
autumn, yes, winter was in the wind;
in clomping off; and scared the outer night,
at broken windows flew out and in,
in summertime with a witching wand,
and a gem-flower waved in a wand!
He Calls On Stone,
they make us cringe for metal-point on stone,
on through the watching for that early birth
to drum on the floor with scurrying hoofs
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
and the nature of time and space,
the spoils of the dead,
then the rain stopped and the blowing,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
he calls on change through the violence of the elements,
with the glittering things,
and the awe passes wonder then,
and the world had found new terms of worth,
more blameless in the sense of being less
Ever It Was The Earth,
in summertime with a witching wand,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
almost like a call to come in
that that was the place to carry a heart
nor was the grass itself your real concern,
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
and ever it was intended so,
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
there were enough things to be thought of then,
he may be better than appearances,
he had been heard to say by several,
they sent him back to her, the letter came
it hadn't found the place to blow;
About Our Place Among The Sky;
"warren!"
for this is love and nothing else is love,
but strictly held by none, is loosely bound
nor was the grass itself your real concern,
but the last choice is still the same;
though some savants make earth include the sky;
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
about our place among the infinities,
coming and going all the time, they are,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
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
That I Must Say It Didn't Do A
to any watch they keep?
sometimes we don't, we've a good piece of shore
because it didn't do a thing but split
and i must say it dealt
that i should have guessed
In Your Condition; You In Your Condition; You
and dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain,
by coming with what they came to ask,
and to know definitely what he thinks about the soul;
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
that seems to tell me how i ought to feel,
if i was not to speak of it to you
you have only to ask me, and i can tell,
to you in your condition; you can't know
how no one dead will seem to come,
in one last look the way they must not go,
and it seems like the time when after doubt
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
next to nothing for color,
to seek the happy isles together,
Across The Other Go On Black Ground A
like a white piece of rigid satin cloth
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
'twas a nest full of young birds on the ground
the disappearing last of him
across the sill from the outer gloom,
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
and let the other go on a way,
on his particular time and personal sight,
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
they tried to keep him clothed, but he paraded
thus till he had them almost feeling dared
in time, had she not realized her danger
with what was another man's work for gain,
Nothing To Witness There
the birds have less to say for themselves
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
trying to coax him off with pocket-money,
in time to keep me from suspecting him
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
toward the throne to witness there
clear to the ground, he always kept his poise
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
so as to please you, but i might be taught,
i haven't courage for a risk like that,
yet nothing i should care to leave behind,
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,
Far Off The Middle,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
like the elves in the wood?
something down there to smile at in the dust,
but from sheer morning gladness at the brim,
and a chain at his side,
part of a moon was falling down the west,
and the nature of time and space,
the picture pride of hollywood,
the deed of gift was many deeds of war
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
and have stopped dying now forever,
and still the bird revisited her young,
Turn The World, And Taking Formal Position,
and taking formal position,
and looked at the world, and descended;
and the nature of time and space,
affection or the want of it in that state,
in the seat of my sense,
turn the poet out of door,
bent over the open fire,
and at the other end the microscope,
holding the curve of one position,
of the populace
But Tree, I Know That This Is Way
he says again, "good fences make good neighbors,"
but, warren, please remember how it is,
i know that this is way in ours,
but tree, i have seen you taken and tossed,
and sorry i could not travel both
but the mountains i raise
i remember that i did,
"i can tell you,
i don't know rightly whether any man can,"
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
i didn't want the blame if things went wrong,
don't carry it to someone else this time,
to make me sad to go,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
She Scorns A Pasture Withering To The Place
one flight out sideways would have undeceived him,
i must be wonted to it that's the reason,
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
and ought to do some good if splitting stars
i didn't know him well enough to know
and say no word to tell me who he was
he said to gain time, "what is it you see?"
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
the hard snow held me, save where now and then
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
and turns to the wind to unruffle a plume,
were native to the grain before the knife
That Jangled Even Above The Skies,
the clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
and in the morning glow,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
that we sit sometimes in the wayside nook,
and then i said the truth and we moved on,
so, but the hand was gone already,
not caring so very much what she supposes,
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
had worn them really about the same,
that jangled even above the general noise,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
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
Still She Had All They Were,
he is said to have been the last red man
one had to be versed in country things
and still she had all they had they the lucky!
had worn them really about the same,
times were changed from what they were,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
to white rest, and a place of rest
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
with the flowers to play,
and list to the love of these,
and making the best of their way back to life
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
what had that flower to do with being white,
He's Come To Help You Ditch The
to express how much it didn't want to die,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
and making the best of their way back to life
to white rest, and a place of rest
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
Will Rot The Best Birch Fence A Spell-breaking,
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
will rot the best birch fence a man can build,'
the footpath down to the well is healed,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
with the same pains you use to fill a cup
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
The Rocks He Mixed That In The Time
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
when a friend calls to me from the road
and it seems like the time when after doubt
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
the way he mixed that in with other things,
and plowed between the rocks he couldn't move,
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,
The Same,
but thought has need of no such things,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
that tinged the atmosphere,
the way he mixed that in with other things,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
with sorrow and dread,
and since there were but two of them,
of many times his size,
The Hand!
thought cleaves the interstellar gloom
the way the nest-full every time we stirred
so late-arising, to the broken moon
to lean against and hear in the dark,
when the wind works against us in the dark,
the barren boughs without the leaves,
enchant the land with amethyst,
the foe thrust back unsafe beyond the rhine,
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
But Behind's Behind, The Worst That You
can but give ear to that sweet cry
but behind's behind, the worst that you can do
don't carry it to someone else this time,
i shall not forget how his laugh rang out,
but i went near to see with my own eyes,
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
other folks have to, and why shouldn't i?
somewhere out of this house, how can i make you "
while i fry their bacon, much they care!
Don't Carry It To Life This Time,
i asked him well beforehand, `don't you get one!'
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
if we who sight along it round the world,
don't carry it to someone else this time,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
that brought me to my feet to hold it back
you wanted to restore them to their right
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
Nothing To Leave It To, Whether The
and cut a flower beside a ground bird's nest
my breathing shakes the bluet like a breeze,
when leaning with my head again a flower
and my head sways to my shoulder
dimly to have made out my secret place,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
to take him in, and might be willing to
next to nothing for weight,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
to satisfy a lifelong curiosity
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
and nothing to look backward to with pride,
ever to grind to soil for grass,
with shouts afar to pull the cable taught,
In Haying Time, When
but glad with him, i worked as with his aid,
erect, but not without its waves, as when
in haying time, when any help is scarce,
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
so low for long, they never right themselves,
They Go Past
it is time to make an end of speaking,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
but in no hush they string it, they go past
they looked about for someone to have done it,
if you had any feelings, you that dug
they looked about for someone to have done it,
but now for me than you the other way,
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
with the flowers to play,
