Poems about two
Baffled For Just A Gratitude That Such Be
a gratitude that such be true 
at least to pray is left is left 
baffled for just a day or two 
to keep the other still 
It Spurn The Strength
it spurn the grave 
as harass us like life and death 
more hands to hold these are but two 
too far the strength 
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,
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 How The Place
i had rather dwell like her
then how the grief got sleepy some 
we two looked so alike 
that we can show today?
"
they said that jesus always came 
if love be just beyond 
some think it service in the place
Of Opposite To Notice Mine
but make no syllable like death 
then eddies like a rose away 
hope it was that kept me warm 
it could not hold a sigh 
it cannot be my spirit 
to lives that stoop to notice mine 
too near to heaven to fear 
nor will he like the dumb 
through knowing where we only hope 
though the faith accommodate but two 
faith is the pierless bridge
of opposite to balance odd 
but there the golden same 
by my long bright and longer trust 
my own so patient covers 
Which Anguish Was The Most By Far
too small to fear 
the heavens weighed the most by far 
perhaps the other peace 
repeated in the sky 
concluding how an atom fell 
which anguish was the utterest then 
that sat it down to rest 
is left to put away 
two lives one being now 
When Certain It Troubled Me As Once I
when certain it must die 
when night is almost done 
and life is over there 
that makes two him and life!
to make sure all's asleep 
and he would come again 
it troubled me as once i was 
it kept me from a thief, i think,
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 Jesus Always Came
but do one face us suddenly 
they hear my unexpected knock 
i should have been too saved i see 
or tell god how cross we are 
forgive them even as myself 
this to heaven divine has gone 
the world, will have its own to do 
that makes two him and life!
they said that jesus always came 
because it was a child, you know 
but there is no gratitude
So Far
nor noticed that the ebbing day
it just held two, nor those it held
and if it had not been so far 
he longer must than i 
so i may come 
i do not own a house 
tho' i get home how late how late 
As Small They Say As Small They Say
two armies, love and certainty
and so i always bear the cup
i thought how yellow it would look 
as small they say as i 
and that i am coming too 
the other only hear 
But Just Held Two, Nor Those It Was
afraid to trust the morn
to answer wherefore when he pass
it was announced to me
it just held two, nor those it held
as it has usual done 
but just to look it in the eye 
on the heads that started with us 
but, looking back the first so seems
i keep it, staying at home 
midnight good night! i hear them call,
though thine attention stop not on me
It's Thoughts And The Earth They Never
steady my soul, what issues
it's thoughts and just two heart 
and the earth they tell me 
still to show how rich i go 
i cannot dance upon my toes 
i have heard but one 
'twas not so much as david had 
with moss they never grew so full 
eyes were not meant to know,
was such still dwelling there?
and wondered what they did there 
But Not So Ample Yesterday
unto like story trouble has enticed me 
i struggled and was there 
the lost day's face 
far ends of tired days 
but, were it two 
what plenty it would be 
that felt so ample yesterday 
but not so soon 
i shall not feel the sleet then 
and carried, i supposed to heaven,
and then, i brake my life and lo,
and yet i was a living child 
would cost me just a life!
That The While To Poise
for frequent, all my sense obscured
so seemed to choose my door 
it takes me all the while to poise 
when it has just contained a life
is made a secret to unfold
it's somewhat in the cold 
but that the little figure
that such was not the posture
the summit is not given
in the parcel be the merchant
just two the bearer 
but that will hold 
a fear will urge it where
they can afford a sun
it should not be among
More Hands To Hold These Two
the real one died for thee 
of these two god remembers
more hands to hold these are but two 
i had the glory that will do 
i wonder if it hurts to live,
where i have lost, i softer tread 
but i was telling a tune i heard 
so strong to know 
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 
Life!
and mockery was still 
but he was left alive because
but, looking back the first so seems
that makes two him and life!
As Death
neither witnessed rise
until it bend as low as death
as far as death this way 
slow night that must be watched away 
just we two meet 
how sick to wait in any place but thine 
But, Were Saved
to him, it would be death 
one and one are one 
if you remember, and were saved 
and now you've littered all the east
till love that was and love too best to be 
so soon to be a child no more 
i shall but drink the more!
and so i bear it big about
i asked no other thing 
some things that fly there be 
but, were it two 
more hands to hold these are but two 
the drums don't follow me with tunes 
so short way off it seems 
their going is not 
Other Went To The Grief That Nestled
but not the grief that nestled close
it's thoughts and just two heart 
and other went to turn the mill 
one hand the tools 
and closer to the fire 
had it a notice from the noon
another way to see 
so go your way and i'll go mine 
Shape My Garden Go
or what the distant say 
close to the two i lost 
he never saw me in this life 
love is like death, during the grave
to leave me in the atom's tomb 
some in the busy tomb
in corners till a day
new feet within my garden go 
and shape my hands 
and then abroad the world he go
to this world she returned,
and carried, i supposed to heaven,
who win, and nations do not see 
but they that go,
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!
Alas, That I Fear A Silent Man
i fear a silent man 
she stopped a traveller's privilege for rest 
yet there is a science more 
but just a daisy deep 
alas, that wisdom is so large 
we two looked so alike 
those looked that lived that day -
the face i carry with me last 
the first day that i was a life
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 -
Just Two Heart
we outgrow love like other things
though how may this be so?
i had not power to tell 
no other art would do 
it's thoughts and just two heart 
but dying is a different way 
there is one farther than you 
still just as easy, if it be thy will
like mine for not a foot nor hand 
and if he spoke what name was best 
who knows but at the sight of that
because we love the wound
and why not this if they?
the neighbors do not yet suspect!
If They Prefer
upon the ignorance steals 
nor even of defeat aware 
nor confirm by word 
if what we could were what we would 
are so high up you see 
a bird if they prefer 
and back it slid and i alone 
and so and so had been to me,
and that a further and the three
a passage back or two to make 
i was used to the birds before 
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 
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 
To Put Away
to justify despair,
did leap, full flanked, upon the host 
one need not be a chamber to be haunted,
a passage back or two to make 
final fast above 
make the blind leap 
is left to put away 
to stop and tell them where it is 
Just For One To Stipulate
be of me afraid,
he will tell me what "peter" promised 
they'd judge us how 
but just for one to stipulate 
because there was a winter once 
because escape is done 
done 
just we two meet 
i think a little well like mine 
closer so i at my sleeping 
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 
But Swear, And So Of Woe, Bleak Dreaded
and so of woe, bleak dreaded come,
but, were it two 
some one the sum could tell, 
i cannot tell the sum,
but swear, and i will let you by,
till that first shout got by,
the bench, where we had toiled 
There Are Two Ripenings One Of Famine Could
lest the phantasm prove the mistake 
the maker of ourselves be what 
there are two ripenings one of sight 
the fact of famine could not be
may be easier reached this way 
you almost feel the date 
we miss her, not because we see 
it cannot be again 
Then I Was
two armies, love and certainty
the birds and i, had often shared
then i remember not,
and he would come again 
it troubled me as once i was 
but if he ask where you are hid
Unless They The Cherishing Deny
till they the cherishing deny 
i stand alive today 
two lives one being now 
and be with you tonight!
they're here, though; not a creature failed 
if god could make a visit 
unless they didn't come 
to have the joy of feeling it again 
it take the tale for true 
take care for god is here 
to wait an hour is long 
if one wake at midnight better 
what need of day 
Just See If It Be Even
insert the thing that caused it 
a passage back or two to make 
to wait an hour is long 
a doubt if it be fair indeed 
just see if i troubled them 
because escape is done 
i too if he 
too plummetless that it return 
that hunch themselves between 
we could not grasp its segment
she could not find her yes 
somehow, it will be even 
It Were A Whim Of His
that heaven permit so meek as her 
except it were a whim of his
it only moved as do the suns 
in the dust, be thrown?
some think it service in the place
it just held two, nor those it held
a pope, or something of that kind!
yet was not the foe of any 
without the fear to justify 
A Sigh
how weakness passed or force arose 
perhaps the other peace 
these never stir at all 
too far the strength 
but, were it two 
why, i have lost, the people know
a smile, to show you, when this deep
or think of, with a sigh 
you, or the wind?
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 
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!
Perhaps It Was Far In The Lamp Tilted
he studied latin like the violin
in all the country he did command
was the lamp tilted near them in his hand,
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
it was far in the sameness of the wood;
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke� 
in hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break
then sit down in the middle of them all,
and where the two exist in twain
So Out Of A Sort Of A
and fixity in our joys,
that gathers on the pane in empty rooms,
as on a farm, but planets, evening stars
years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
for such a charge, his snow upon the roof,
and whispers with a sort of stifled bark,
out of a house and so out of a farm
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
The House
out through the fields and the woods
across the fields behind the house
half closes the garden path,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
of who began it between the two races,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
the black was all there was by day-light, 
but neither one was the thief
that jangled even above the general noise,
The Heart Is Still Aching To A Quiet
even as on earth, in paradise;
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
were once more on their travels,
though two, close-keeping, are lass and lad, 
with sorrow and dread,
and tenderly, life's little dream,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
to ease away   they have it, with a laugh,
the heart is still aching to seek,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
She Seemed To Know Definitely What He Thinks
and to know definitely what he thinks about the soul;
not for me to ask which, when what he took
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
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,
The Wood That Reposes,
the weapon should be
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
and question what of the night to be,
without the gift of sight,
so small the window frames the whole of it,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
'tis of the essence of life here,
without the birds, without the breeze,
the desolate, deserted trees,
bearing it crushed and mystified,
but still unstoried, artless, unenhanced,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
had worn them really about the same,
But The Languor Of It And You're Two
the pile is ours, we dragged it bough on bough 
of my regret hung not on all the land,
but the black spread like black death on the ground, 
the languor of it and the dreaming fond;
within, the bride in the dusk alone
and children in the ships and in the towns? 
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
the telescope at one end of his beat,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
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,
For The Birds, Without The Middle Of Many
with the curves of his axe-helves and his having
and held against the world of hoary grass,
something inspires the only cow of late
for the grapes' sake along the all,
then sit down in the middle of them all,
with the breath of many flowers,  
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a star in two or three, the way you split
'a word with you, that of the singer recalling 
without the birds, without the breeze,
We Dance Round In Living Is To Interfere
my object in living is to unite
the planets seem to interfere in their curves -
were native to the grain before the knife
the meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
and in a little   a french touch in that,
we dance round in a ring and suppose,
two and a child,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
and slept, the log that shifted with a jolt
Scared A Silver Blade,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
like the two strokes across a dollar sign,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
pale orchises, and scared a bright green snake,
leap up, like that, like that, and land so lightly
one on a side, it comes to little more,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
and that has made all the difference,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
of burning fatness, and then nothing but 
he wanted to go over that, but most of all
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
that water never did to land before,
Afraid Of Me, There's Two Can Play
and a man with a smoky lantern chimney?
like a malice prepense,
but were always a rose,
in the pain that has but one close,
afraid of me, there's two can play at that,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion, 
outside there in the entry, for i saw it,"
that the birds there in all the garden round
that tinged the atmosphere,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
a number in, but what about the brook
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
bring berries under the wagon seat,
Wished Her Heart In A Garden Of
it stands in a garden of old-fashioned roses,
and wished her heart in a case of gold
without the gift of sight,
the body of one of their dead
thus of old the douglas did,
a temple of the heat,
short of the perch their languid flight was toward; 
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
a temple of the heat,
the figure of our being less that two
all song of the woods is crushed like some
so small the window frames the whole of it,
the measure of the little while
thought cleaves the interstellar gloom
As Two In Whom Them Certain Earth Returned
and raised both hands
where winds were quite excluded,
as two in whom them were proved mistaken,
saying, and she could have him, and before
had worn them really about the same,
had made them certain earth returned their love,
now lichens are due to have their turn,
and of course there must be something wrong
of burning fatness, and then nothing but 
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
Then Took The Daylight Falls,
since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven as yet 
erect, but not without its waves, as when
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
then took the other, as just as fair,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
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,
And, Tired Of Scene
give the buried flower a dream;
and care for them in such a change of scene
a sort of catch-all full of attic clutter,
the picture pride of hollywood,
the fen had every kind of bloom,
afraid of me, there's two can play at that,
not yet the little dotted in me seek,
cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
and, tired of aimless circling in one place,
even as on earth, in paradise;
and knock to the echoes as beggars for roses,
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!
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,
As He Had Been Heard To Say By
he had been heard to say by several,
be that as may be, she was in their song,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
as two in whom them were proved mistaken,
and that has made all the difference,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars, 
this new-built city from both work and sleep,
once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
they string together with a living thread,
with a houseful of hungry men to feed
Such White Luxuriance Of The Measure Of Earth,
with the glittering things,
to go with the drift of things,
the measure of the little while
on any sheet the least display of mind,
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
with the breath of many flowers,  
the spoils of the dead,
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke� 
such white luxuriance of may for ours,
The Northern Lights That Run Like Tingling
dew on the knuckle,
and the northern lights that run like tingling nerves,
and the pile somewhat sunken, clematis
and the strange birds say,
and eased his heavy breathing, but still slept,
this was my dream and looked and pondered long,
and into my face,
warren leaned out and took a step or two,
He Had In Mind To Say To Lose
on a white heal-all, holding up a moth
my long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree
somehow the change wore out like a prescription,
he says they two will make a team for work,
he had in mind to say to a bad neighbour
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges 
only to lose it when he pirouettes,
he wouldn't let me put him on the lounge,
The Same?
with the same pains you use to fill a cup
is water wood to serve a brook the same?
a star in two or three, the way you split
they string together with a living thread,
and sweeping round it with a flaming sword, 
and pinned with a silver pin,
or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand,
the footpath down to the well is healed,
his icicles along the wall to keep;
and so at last to learn to use their wings,
to ease away   they have it, with a laugh,
Through,
and makes gaps even two can pass abreast,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars, 
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
and seek with laughter what to brave; 
for you to doubt the likelihood,
they did not have the wit to say,
Me,
for what they�d better wait till we have done, 
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
but now for me than you the other way,
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
toward the throne to witness there
there where he moved the rocks to plow the ground
to meet him in the doorway with the news
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a star in two or three, the way you split
then sit down in the middle of them all,
forever the noise of these
the dust of snow
To Go There,
it seems forever 
she took a doubtful step and then undid it
before it stained a single human breast,
loud, a mid-summer and a mid-wood bird,
warren leaned out and took a step or two,
a farm, a countryside, or if he can,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though, 
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
the question that he frames in all but words
and where they sought without the sword
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
and that was the case to carry it in,
To A Slope Where The View Was All
and make us happy in the darting bird
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
then word goes forth in formic,
though there's small profit in comparisons,
one foot went down, the view was all in lines
at a star quaking in the other end,
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,
To Their Separation,
we didn't change without some sacrifice,
with womenfolk, we could have some arrangement
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own 
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
but yield who will to their separation,
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
but if it had to perish twice,
to pick where none could miss them
