Poems about tongue
A Tongue To Heaven?
for fear i hear her say
i shout unto my feet
the day that i shall go
what if i file this mortal off
and thought of them so fair invites
and if i do when morning comes
death we do not know
how far is it to heaven?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
i don't know when
but you have enough of those
and we know not
As Should A Change
that "god have mercy" on the soul
"sweet" said he "my own surrender
no notice gave she, but a change
and any one i knew
as should a face supposed the grave's
than an earl's distinguished face
yet is she more convincing
a heaven not so large as yours,
but just a daisy deep
a tongue to tell him i am true!
that you never do it
If The Anguish Go
i could not feel the anguish go
if any ask me how
i'll tell you how i tried to keep
if love be just beyond
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
an awe if it should be like that
and if the further heaven
through knowing where we only hope
best grief is tongueless before he'll tell
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
what death knows so well
so still so cool
we two looked so alike
i'm that or nought
Yet Held My Breath, The Same
lest firmament should fail for me
they'll carry him!
and this one do not feel the same
then "great" it be if that please thee
but tell him that it ceased to feel
best grief is tongueless before he'll tell
if one wake at midnight better
yet held my breath, the while
and fear is like the one
it's thoughts and just two heart
it suggests to our faith
we grow accustomed to the dark
that arise and set about us
but tell him that it ceased to feel
Nor Can See
the dust, will vex your fame
nor can you tell me
and that is his business not ours
for their sake not for ours
as crew of mountains could afford
when gentlemen can see
for these were only put to death
for evidence it be the grace
that happen on the soul
are nothing to the bee
do not you
could it be madness this?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
the way i read a letter's this
I Knew Not
and sigh for lack of heaven but not
the adequate of hell
what care the dead for summer?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
when they take the knife!
i knew not but the next
i know not which thy chamber is
there may yet be land!
better than new could be for that
be sure you're sure you know
be reckoned up?
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
A Tongue To Him The Crowd
and scant to him the crowd
and golden hang while farther up
to miss it beggars so
i could die to know
had i presumed to hope
although i put away his life
he could suffice for me
or did it just begin?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
Followed Where He Thought That Child's
he liked to have it slender as a whipstock,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play
it totters when she licks it with her tongue,
to put a tree between us when he lighted,
since he was old enough to know, big boy
good arguments he sees he might have used,
and followed where he furrowed field,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
Clear To Return, Earth's The Planets Seem
she had to ask, "what was it, dear?"
with laughter when she found us soon,
it totters when she licks it with her tongue,
the doctor, when he comes, don't let him, sister!"
clear to the ground, he always kept his poise
the memory that he chose the life;
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
the planets seem to interfere in their curves -
and melting further in the wind to mud,
On Noiseless Wing A Case Of Snow,
on noiseless wing a 'wildered butterfly,
and set them on the porch, then drew him down
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
and wished her heart in a case of gold
a leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared
