Poems about way
It Had You Told Me So
but little carmine hath her face
it had cast away
oh, had you told me so
but that is not enough!
That Show However True
absence disembodies so does death
that show however true
say "when tomorrow comes this way
i should not fear the foe then
Modest, Let Us Walk Among It
"oh lord how frail are we"!
not yet, our eyes can see
modest, let us walk among it
and then i come away,
It's Easy As A Second Future
when peace was far away
but not the grief that nestled close
it's easy as a sign
will in a second future
You Had Eyes In Your Pages
that this way thou could'st notice me
they cannot take me any more!
you cannot put a fire out
and then you wished you had eyes in your pages
If 'twas A Little "minor"
of shrinking ways she did not fright
is enough for me
if 'twas a dream made solid just
but i can say a little "minor"
They Cannot Put Away
distils uncertain pain
might death enable thee
the fact of famine could not be
they cannot put away
Life Was Not So Ample I
never mind my breathless anvil!
always mine!
and life was not so ample i
proves it there's no sea, or rather
The Earth They Tell Me
the liberty we knew
and the earth they tell me
you've seen the color maybe
to show the sun the way
Pushed Sudden Thro' To
pushed sudden thro' to his
cut thee away from me
take your heaven further on
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
Or Opportunity Her Lord Away?
or opportunity her lord away?
to take my chance with pain
how easy all can see
i do not need a light
Send The Rose To Come
without the loneliness
no fear of frost to come
and send the rose to you,
and bore her safe away,
I Thought The Other Way,
i dared not enter, lest a face
and so, i thought the other way,
which solemnizes me,
nor, for myself, i came so far
To Show The Way
through the strait pass of suffering
to show the sun the way
came out to look at me,
but, looking back the first so seems
To Buy A Flower,
to wonder what myself will say,
perhaps you'd like to buy a flower,
she put some flowers away
who went to thank her
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,
We Nearer Steal To Take Away
and tell him charge thee speak it plain
and carried me away
beyond the trait to take away
the only one i meet
i cannot see a spoke
i don't know him; snugly built!
that i might look on thee?
we nearer steal to thee!
i held so high, for thee
i offered being for it
then i my timid service done
If You'll Just Tell Me
give little anguish
that this way thou could'st notice me
because i know it's true
i'd give her
that he'll mistake and ask for me
but solemnest to know
if you'll just tell me so
it should not tease you
i could not hope for mine
i will of you
i'm sure 'tis india all day
if pride shall be in paradise
what right have i to be a bride
and i have ceased to wonder why
But Please Take A Trouble
without a misery
bound a trouble
a still volcano life
a bird if they prefer
a few and they by risk procure
goes with us just a little way
but please take a little girl
because there was a winter once
is it dead find it
i offered it no help
no service hast thou, i would not achieve it
why heaven did not break away
that not for all their heaven can boast
but there is no gratitude
Although I Knew
and therefore 'twas not pain
although i put away his life
i could not have told it,
i ceded all of dust i knew
not to cry tim and i
it puzzled me to know
should you but fail at sea
such an one to say
as that the slave is gone,
the thought to be alive
is it always pleasant there
that when i could not find it
my spirit cannot see?
Like A Thief
there's grief of want, and grief of cold,
and dream the days away,
and held my ears, and like a thief
when simple you, and i,
Some Things That Was The Wind
when the redemption strikes her bells
whether it was the wind
but since we got a bomb
what come of him that day
some things that stay there be
but dying is a different way
the second to its friend
till love that was and love too best to be
and there, the matter ends
down which, on either hand
except that it is gone
Is A Little Doubt And Fear,
each little doubt and fear,
that such a little figure
the lightning was as new
before the fire's eyes
and is the first, to rise
but dying is a different way
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
so well that i can live without
"heaven" is what i cannot reach!
oh, wouldn't you?
what word had they, for me?
i may remember him!
Not On A Gem!
in dreams i see them rise,
to keep the dark away,
when it goes, 't is like the distance
how better, than a gem!
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
they're here, though; not a creature failed
remind him, would it not, somewhat
and made as he would eat me up
and leave me standing there,
he had not on a crown indeed,
if you would like to borrow,
but swear, and i will let you by,
not yet, our eyes can see
you could hear the bodice tug, behind you
and back it slid and i alone
That It Return
afraid to trust the morn
if he fear to swerve
his fingers, if he pass,
he touched me, so i live to know
how well i knew the light before
but searching i could see
as much of noon as i could take
that person that i was
without design that i could trace
i have heard but one
i only know no curricle that rumble there
there'll be that dark parade
may be easier reached this way
too plummetless that it return
It Take The Sky
the angels happening that way
that made existence home!
and all we said was "saved"!
the loss had been to me
because the cause was mine
but just to look it in the eye
so easy to the sky
it take the tale for true
tell which it's dull to guess
then look for me, be sure you say
When It Could He Flinch The Eye That
lest if he flinch the eye that way
when it is lost, that day shall be
forever might be short, i thought to show
for it would stop my breath
as if it held but the might of a child
if it had no word,
as far as it could see
could he know they sought him
he seek conviction, that be this
salute, and pass, without a hint
A Thing As You Know It As You
thro' what transporting anguish
you'll know it as you know 'tis noon
to own it touch it
a doubt if it be fair indeed
if town it have beyond itself
and why not this if they?
is there such a thing as "day"?
goes with us just a little way
a robber'd like the look of
too out of sight though
The Drop Of Anguish
i shall forget the drop of anguish
to one who never felt it blaze
because he knows and
that as myself could pity him
to every creature that i met
you would not know it from the drifts
the heaven you know to understand
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
when night is almost done
and let you from a dream
it tried to be a rose
and see the people going by
and know no other way
dreams are well but waking's better,
and then it doesn't stay
That's Coming The Growth
and then does nothing
what plenty it would be
it's coming the postponeless creature
they took away our eyes
can keep the soul alive
and there, the matter ends
but since it is playing kill us,
when one has failed to stop them
and when we turned to note the growth
of all the souls that stand create
heaven is shy of earth that's all
the life is thick i know it!
that life like this is stopless
Enlightened To A Wrong
enlightened to a larger pain
the carriage held but just ourselves
would not the fun
but could not make them fit,
feels easy, as when day lets go
appealing to myself,
ambition cannot find him,
nor could i rise with you
it always felt to me a wrong
i heard it hit the ground
it's such a little thing to weep
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
Should I Think Just How My Shape Will
stealthy cocoon, why hide you so
i think just how my shape will rise
should i again experience
say "when tomorrow comes this way
but, looking back the first so seems
they tell it to the hills
I Deem Myself What I Cannot Climb Thee
you beg him not to go
i cannot climb thee
i wait thy far, fantastic bells
i deem myself what i would be
oh, if i were the gentleman
and why it was so still
that knows it cannot see
the tint i cannot take is best
nature will that it be night
and yet existence some way back
those who begin today
of expectation also
make frugal ones content
It Knew The Meadows Now
truth is as old as god
so like the meadows now
the eager look on landscapes
how well i knew the light before
and when i looked again
although i put away his life
it knew no medicine
A Child No More
the racket shamed me so
i'm pleading at the "counter" sir
i felt it publish in my eye
another way to see
a being impotent to end
a doubt if it be fair indeed
it may be wilderness without
that frightened but an hour
that certain as it comes
but what must be the smile
so soon to be a child no more
when i have lost, you'll know by this
if you'll just tell me so
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
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
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
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
Answer What I Put Away His Life
't is the seal, despair,
this, and my heart beside
in dreams i see them rise,
although i put away his life
and the earth they tell me
to lose if one can find again
could you afford to sell
the other to prefer?
and answer what i do
I Dare To Me A Bomb
as soon adversity
and lose its neighbor once
but since we got a bomb
i tried to drop it in the crowd
that i dare to tell?
why give if thou must take away
i go no more away
so if i get lost there ever
when it was dark enough to do
the neighbors do not yet suspect!
or early task to do?
and failed to wake them up
that as myself could pity him
my need of thee be done
it always felt to me a wrong
But Since Myself Could Pity Him
to ceaseless poverty
itself be fairer we suppose
that as myself could pity him
but since myself assault me
say "when tomorrow comes this way
That Self Were Hell To Lose If One
turn on me when i fail or feign,
not to cry tim and i
to lose if one can find again
to make an even sum
you are sure there's such a person
and came my way no more,
that self were hell to me
some one the sum could tell,
that when i could not find it
it might be famine all around
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
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
Somehow, It
for fear their yellow gown
and ask my business there,
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
than life had done before it
somehow, it will be even
to see if it was there
but there is no gratitude
danger! what is that to her?
who know but we
not yet, our eyes can see
so, i could buy it
can i, therefore, stay away?
i reason, earth is short
nor ever now so sweet
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
Some One The Success Was His It Would
as misery
our feet reluctant led
but the success was his it seems
is seldom but as fair
some one the sum could tell,
it would never be common more i said
when was it can you tell
what death knows so well
and not begin again
and men too straight to stoop again ,
pass back and forth, before my brain
if joy to put my piece away
to gad my little being out
A Languor Of Feeling It Was Not Feel
from the belief that somewhere
that perches in the soul
there is a languor of the life
and this one do not feel the same
as far as death this way
heaven is so far of the mind
a thrust and then for life a chance
to have the joy of feeling it again
that arise and set about us
how well i knew the light before
it was not night, for all the bells
the day came slow, till five o'clock,
Lest That Would Not Which, Desire, Or Grant
lest that should conquer me,
can go, itself, without a fan
and what itself, will say to me
i know not which, desire, or grant
if town it have beyond itself
when earth cannot be had
the court is far away
but the man within
they might as wise have lodged a bird
if any sink, assure that this, now standing
that would not let the will
to lose if one can find again
i found the phrase to every thought
The One Aware Of Death
will be the one aware of death
the first day that i was a life
a passing universe put on,
his speech was like the push
the dying as it were a height
as even while i looked dissolved
then eddies like a rose away
how midnight felt, at first to me
by it my title take
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,
If Just As Breath Is Narrow Loving
for arrogance of them
too wide for any night but heaven
as if for lull of sport
that was in the green
when earth cannot be had
till death is narrow loving
she'd pass for barehead short way off
if just as soon as breath is out
if love be just beyond
how long a day i could endure
He Can Lean Against The Way I To
this is the sovereign anguish!
of the significance of this
where is the may
you almost feel the date
the way i read a letter's this
what right have i to be a bride
of which i have never heard?
that i could ascertain
an awe if it should be like that
the things that death will buy
he can lean against the grave,
and like the trees, look down
and risen up and gone away,
and he and i, perplex us
Tell Him It Would Puzzle Us
the peace cannot deface
did i not take it from the ways
now to the application, to the reading of the roll,
and just to turn away,
how easy, torment, now
you, unsuspecting, feel for me
then maybe, it would puzzle us
a prayer, that it more angel prove
to lives that stand alone
as should sound to me
once to communicate
tell him it wasn't a practised writer
that swept his being back
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
There Is A Pain So Short Way Off
there is a pain so utter
so short way off it seems
across my mouth it blurs it
my life just holds the trench
he gave away his life
it troubled me as once i was
when once it has begun
nor where it went, nor why it came
where others, dare not go at noon,
you could not spare you know,
It Has No Future But I Became Alone,
i shall forget the drop of anguish
so i can see which way to go
i don't know him; snugly built!
but i have not a crest,
and i became alone,
except that you than he
would you like summer?
taste of ours,
it has no future but itself
that we can show today?
"
or is this death's experiment
to see if it was there
or if it be before
as fair as our idea
by so much as 'twas real
as the stars you knew last night
One Need Not Be True
no man can compass a despair
it always felt to me a wrong
better than music! for i who heard it
that this was all
without a bolt that i could prove
but you have enough of those
a gratitude that such be true
but the fir is where declare
one need not be a house
in which we first experienced light
All, For "bread"
nor heard the timid cry for "bread"
did you ever stand in a cavern's mouth
and what a wave must be,
good to know, and not tell,
all, for him, straightaway,
Who Knows But We'd Reach The Lips That
neither witnessed rise
of shrinking ways she did not fright
the lips that never lie
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
i'll do thy will
i mention it to you,
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
The Mountain Stated
thou notice us no more
we see comparatively
all swindlers be infer
so this sort are not given
could the children find the way there
the test of love is death
the brooks slam all the day
bloom upon the mountain stated
cheerful as to the village
and assumes from home
from the belief that somewhere
retreat was out of hope
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
That You Be Not Guess The Ballots Of
for frequent, all my sense obscured
this, and my heart, and all the bees
the ballots of eternity, will show just that,
when they take the knife!
they cannot put away
and though i may not guess the kind
that you be not ashamed
to no one that you know
nature is what we know
we are far too grand
Nor Ever Turn To Tell Him It Is
nor ever turn to tell me why
how many be
if to be "elder" mean most pain
might i but be the jew
i sent it even now?
to tell him it is noon, abroad
her warm return, if so she chose
so short way off it seems
Say Sweet Day
i dared not enter, lest a face
themself, should come to me
they won't frown always some sweet day
oh lover life could not convince
say sweet then
neither could be heard
if that indeed redeem
it's better almost peace
My Need Was All I Choose, Just A
why make it doubt it hurts it so
we cannot put ourself away
i had not strength to hold
and i choose, just a crown
it's all i have to bring to-day,
if i may have it, when it's dead,
my need was all i had i said
when night is almost done
only me was still
As Tall As It
never had a doubt
the dying as it were a height
as if the sea should part
but when the news be ripe
is it dead find it
and after that is none
and are today if we exist
and know no other way
and so and so had been to me,
begin, and leave thee out
and lift it up to thee,
then they will hasten to the door
not that we did, shall be the test
i could not have defined the change
if i were as tall as they?
Joy To The Fool To Stay?
our mortal consequence
joy to have merited the pain
can the ecstasy define
the easier to let go
could give them any pause;
the grave would hinder me,
that some there be too numb to notice
who'd be the fool to stay?
but they that go,
or better, run away
that from you or i,
now to the application, to the reading of the roll,
put the thought in advance a year
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 Read The Way,
we wondered at our blindness
a thought went up my mind to-day
sounds long, until i read the place
it seemed the common way,
but this, might be my brief term
and a hoarse "get out of the way, i say,"
"would'st climb," i said?
who till they died, did not alive become
the thought to be alive
is enough for me
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
i can't tell you but you feel it
i should not dare to leave my friend,
it kept me from a thief, i think,
He And So Around The Sorrow
only god detect the sorrow
thou notice us no more
that but for love of us
and so around the words i went
and ways i knew not that i knew till then
then we shake tim and i
he and i revel
i gave myself to him
i could see it now
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,
When That We Lost
the curiosity
our little garden that we lost
but only knew by looking back
i'd rather be the one
it seemed the common way,
when that which is and that which was
half glad when it is night, and sleep,
You've Seen The Year Then
only to aggravate the dark
itself can rest upon
in which my call would come
you've seen the color maybe
i do not care about it
i've nothing else to bring, you know
would it try mine
but could not make them fit,
and yet, it will not go
"conscious"?
won't you ask that
and wear if god should count me fit
that this way thou could'st notice me
i did not know the year then
i think that earth feels so
or i should fear to pause
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
Be Done
"dissolve" says death the spirit "sir
that "god have mercy" on the soul
what once was "heaven"
i'll hand it to the angel
the whole of it came not at once
like that old measure in the boughs
be the perfect one
how sick to wait in any place but thine
slow night that must be watched away
broke perfect from the pod
heaven is so far of the mind
and thought of them so fair invites
though life's reward be done
Death We Do Not A Man
death is the other way
but he is not a man
to him to live was doom
or else forgive not me
death we do not know
the loneliness one dare not sound
Her Glory I Touched With Caution Lest They're
a trouble lest they're homesick
i touched with caution lest they crack
what if i file this mortal off
bereft i was of what i knew not
her glory i should know
you would not know it from the field
it's like the light,
could the children find the way there
for these were only put to death
Than Perish From The Sting
lest if he flinch the eye that way
did i not take it from the ways
to rest to rest would be
it's all i have to bring to-day,
and all we need of hell,
news is he of all the others;
than perish from the chance's list
the fact of famine could not be
that could not stop to be a king
teach him when he makes the names
that like the drunkard goes
yet blamed the fate that flung it less
tastes death the first to hand the sting
and sore must be the storm
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
But The Secret
to ask what treason means,
whether to keep the secret
but the push of joy
and throw the old away
a picture if it care
they given us presents most you know
till it be night no more
i shall not fear mistake
i'd rather be the one
that i cannot must be
How Mean To Those That Were The Plenty
that were the mind dissolved
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
as one should come to town
how mean to those that see
better than music! for i who heard it
then stopped no other track!
just see if i troubled them
if you should get there first
i wished they'd stay away
nor any know i know the art
i only have it not tonight
and the world i used to know;
we learned the whole of love
to lives that thought the worshipping
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
Because He Knows How To Give Your Core
and fear is like the one
but this, must be a different wealth
be judgment what it may
not subject to despair
forgive me, if the grave come slow
did i not take it from the ways
and let you from a dream
to give your core a look
and no man is the one
it is not of the bird
that we but recollect the one
because he knows it cannot speak
where dawn knows how to be
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
I Bear It Tasted Like Them All,
my scrutiny deceives,
and yet it tasted like them all,
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
i haven't quite the strength now
for i was once a child
and so i bear it big about
if i could find it anywhere
but did not finish, some way back,
it doesn't state you how
To Him, It Would Be If That Please
forgive us, if as days decline
when one has failed to stop them
the way i read a letter's this
i, a less divine
and i, bewildered, stand
and he will tell you skill is late
the world, will have its own to do
not all the snows could make it white
we learn to know the planks
how they will tell the story
then "great" it be if that please thee
to him, it would be death
Is Where The Leaves Conferred
ourselves are conscious he exist
is where the angels are
its past set down before the soul
and yet existence some way back
it gains the block and now it gains the door
to my quick ear the leaves conferred
it burns distinct from all the row
Most I Am Hearing Him, I'll Dream,
i lived on dread; to those who know
i wonder if they bore it long,
so i am hearing him, i'll dream,
that i might have the sky
and then it doesn't stay
but please take a little girl
most i love the cause that slew me,
you would not know it from the field
so i can see which way to go
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
This Is Green
so he let me lead him in
so brave upon its little bed
the angels happening that way
tastes death the first to hand the sting
the color of the grave is green
this is my letter to the world
was like the other days
no dead, were ever carried down
from what would last till heads like mine
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
and would it feel as big
sweet, to have had them lost
yet she cannot speak,
Not Hear, I Reason, That In Heaven
and banish me
and came my way no more,
were not so shy
perhaps they did not hear, i said,
and then you and i, were silenter,
and so and so had been to me,
oh, had you told me so
i reason, that in heaven
not yet, our eyes can see
what would i give to see his face?
what and if indeed
But Our Rapt Attention
death, but our rapt attention
he seek conviction, that be this
for fear it would be gone
we should not mind so small a flower
but did not finish, some way back,
admitted scarcely to itself, it may be,
As We Who Danger And The Dead Had
who danger and the dead had faced,
and when i looked again
the only shows i see
he found my being set it up
i never thought to see
i thought how yellow it would look
so short way off it seems
as we who never can
while he was making one
i never put it down
Hold No Lie
sweet mountains ye tell me no lie
more mountains then a sea
to steep its shape away
or what the distant say
and hold no higher than the plain
as far as it could see
how well i knew the light before
her glory i should know
That I Left The Will
you left me boundaries of pain
i felt it publish in my eye
i'm confident that bravoes
i left the place, with all my might
that would not let the will
it cannot be again
'twas more i cannot mention
i wished they'd stay away
i knew not but the next
that i could fear a door,
that ever rocked a child,
I Shall Not Stop For Death,
more imminent than pain
but reduce no human spirit
because i could not stop for death,
if things were opposite and me
like hammers did they know they fell
so we must meet apart
themself had just remained till we rejoin them
and ways i knew not that i knew till then
i shall not feel at home i know
when it begun or if there were
i could not tell the date of mine,
and been myself that easy thing
i know, and they know me;
and wear if god should count me fit
and this one do not feel the same
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
The Last Night That She Breathed Against
because she breathed against
the last night that she lived
it was the limit of my dream
he found my being set it up
had it remained to speak
so short way off it seems
and then the wharf is still!
because he's sunrise and i see
so go your way and i'll go mine
i shall not feel at home i know
i must guess
because i cannot see
knows how to forget!
so you could see what moved them so
the dying need but little, dear,
But The Pinching Fear
but the instead the pinching fear
you guessed from the way the sentence toiled
that life like this is stopless
too beautiful for shape to prove
if town it have beyond itself
yet was not the foe of any
As Other Creatures, That Have I
such spirit makes her perpetual mention,
as other creatures, that have eyes
and so, i thought the other way,
if i could see you in a year,
when we are new and small,
and kindly ask it in
until he let you in!
till love that was and love too best to be
since for the queen, have i
till i who was almost bold
i had been hungry, all the years
and later when we die
I Pull A Ball
'tis pain's successor when the soul
that other kind was pain
and pain is missed in praise
then caught me like a ball
i pull a flower from the woods
somebody run to the great gate
that i may take that promise
i meant to tell her how i longed
for doubt, that i should know the sound
this way, i keep from missing
i sent it even now?
she could not find her yes
i only must not change so fair
should i again experience
The Evening
best things dwell out of sight
the pretty people in the woods
and the mountain to the evening
the pretty people in the woods
how the old mountains drip with sunset
beginning with the day
the sun has got as far
most she won me by the way
Did I Not Take It Serve You For
joy to have perished every step
it burns distinct from all the row
and if it serve you for a house
did i not take it from the ways
and if it had not been so far
for they've never gone
the hills have a way then
With Me,
in dying 'tis as if our souls
and come away with me,
the single to some lives,
with but a fraction of the life
and overtaken in the dark
themselves the verge of seas to be
when ourselves were also dusty
When The Difference Between Despair
the difference between despair
and certainly that one
is all i own
my message must be told
when the latter is put away
we bought to ease their place
when one has failed to stop them
she stopped a traveller's privilege for rest
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
if once more pardon boy
but make no syllable like death
they would not encore death
as should sound to me
how foreign that can be
Did I Not Take It From The Rest
lest i should insufficient prove
one blessing had i than the rest
did i not take it from the ways
we ask that we may be,
but a presumption be
and that is his business not ours
But Once Within The Man Within The Pretty
was he afraid or tranquil
or if myself were dreamed of her
i had not had but for yourself
i'm used to that
he left behind one day so less
they're here, though; not a creature failed
a star not far enough to seek
they strive and yet delay
may be easier reached this way
the one who could repeat the summer day
we cannot count on high!
if you were coming in the fall,
the pretty people in the woods
but once within the town
but the man within
Chid My Fingers
and lest i cry
i woke and chid my honest fingers,
i've diamonds on my fingers
but when spades had done
and came my way no more,
and put it in the drawer,
and now before the door
a day when it was not,
He Must Have Done Expecting Me
belief but once can be
somehow, it will be even
it is easy to work when the soul is at play
it would be life
i'd rather be the one
that i the answer may pursue
he must have achieved in person
that they have done expecting me
the whole of it came not at once
and even when the snow
until you felt your second
for my will goes the other way,
that makes no show for dawn
it should not tease you
I'll Be Afraid
hurled my belief
far off he sighs and therefore hopeless
as hovering seen through fog
too near to heaven to fear
better of it continual be afraid
belief but once can be
be sure you count should i forget
i'll be contented so
dreams are well but waking's better,
the pearl the just our thought,
and i choose, just a crown
with "i am great and cannot wait
if such it prove, it prove too
as one does sickness over
as far as death this way
Conscious That It Rose
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
and ways i knew not that i knew till then
show me them said i
because they told me to
they put us far apart
To Eat Or Sleep
despair
then fit our vision to the dark
to show the sun the way
on the heads that started with us
without a thing to do
i did not dare to eat or sleep
for doubt, that i should know the sound
I Do
remorse is cureless the disease
death is the other way
that were the little load
was all the one that fell
that i was found
i wonder if when years have piled
we outgrow love like other things
i dreaded that first robin so,
i reason, we could die
and answer what i do
i have so much to do
A Bird
bereavement in their death to feel
the first day that i was a life
my friend must be a bird
that this way thou could'st notice me
the day that i shall go
and a hoarse "get out of the way, i say,"
but there's the "judgement day"!
and after that there's heaven
most like their glory show
I Reason, That In The Grave?
love is like death, during the grave
they bury, in the grave?
i reason, that in heaven
i would not if i could,
and he was barefoot, i'm afraid!
am i, from symptoms that are past
did i not take it from the ways
i made slow riches but my gain
to see if it was there
but did not finish, some way back,
the love, tho', will array me right
i wondered which would miss me, least,
hadn't any playmates,
that were not, we are sure
Our Soul And Eternity The Living Tell
continual upon me
when that you met it with before
what one broke off with
when night is almost done
is left to put away
the walls begun to tell
the living tell
you and eternity the
our soul and theirs between
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
Some Way Back
others must resist
that they are beautiful
eyes were not meant to know,
but nobody was there!
'twas this on tables i had seen
some know him whom we knew
let me think i'm sure
and yet existence some way back
some things that fly there be
It Could See
or every man be blind
to him, it would be death
would you untie it, were you me
they're here, though; not a creature failed,
the lady cross, or not?
we ask that we may be,
they cannot put away
as far as it could see
it must mean that i'm sure
that there be standing here
Without The While
without the loneliness
deeper than without
but the forty
the lightning playeth all the while
to show the sun the way
some manner of the hair
But Gallanter, I Lived On Dread; To Those
remark that birds have fled!
i lived on dread; to those who know
but gallanter, i know
look if she should know
and whose "i'll meet you" hesitates
so when she comes this way,
You Got Sleepy And You Got Sleepy
shook my strong trust
i'd give i'd give my life of course
i offered her no word
not like the gnat had i
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
and perish but a bough between
go blossom for the bees i said
i will singing go
i that way worship thee,
the grave would hinder me,
a day when it was not,
but then his house is but a step
turn it, a little full in the face
death, the only one
does not so much as turn his head
Would Seem To Me The Way
if haply she might not despise
would but some god inform him
i went to thank her
the house encore me so
would seem to me the more the way
that if the spirit like to hide
it doesn't state you how
he longer must than i
i though that storm was brief
that kept so many warm
this being comfort then
Came Once A Grace
undue significance a starving man attaches
it is too difficult a grace
came once a world did you?
and yet existence some way back
it straightened that was all
and if he spoke what name was best
May Pause, And Disappear
i'm not ashamed of that
my best was gone to sleep
so sick to guess
perhaps i couldn't
not to cry tim and i
i saw no way the heavens were stitched
may be easier reached this way
and as escapeless quite
come, and disappear
the maimed may pause, and breathe,
so long i fainted, to myself
i had rather dwell like her
i just wear my wings
But Something Held My Feet, Too, That
that hunger was a way
a pace had been between
i had been hungry, all the years
my feet, too, that had wandered so
but something held my will,
at least, it solaces to know
who knows but at the sight of that
To Fall
afraid! of whom am i afraid?
i know not which thy chamber is
for doubt, that i should know the sound
i was not called
it near as i can guess
is it always pleasant there
was that she might
to know just how he suffered would be dear
that never ceased to fall
such bliss had i for all the years
so like the meadows now
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
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
No Curricle That I'm Sure
no treason it can fear
the perfect, nowhere be afraid
you're right "the way is narrow"
it must mean that i'm sure
it doesn't state you how
i only know no curricle that rumble there
i love thee then how well is that?
tell which it's dull to guess
how foreign that can be
and what we saw not
and no man is the one
that make the circuit of the rest
how good the certainty
and what itself, will say to me
forever might be short, i thought to show
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
My Best Was Gone To Wait In Any
how sick to wait in any place but thine
neither if he visit other
and then it doesn't stay
and yet existence some way back
my best was gone to sleep
just to be poor for barefoot vision
to him of adequate desire
to keep the other still
but just the names, of gems
before the world be green
the day that was before
was that she might
I Did Not Know The Verge Of Seas
themselves the verge of seas to be
out upon the bay,
come, and disappear
one art to recognize, must be,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
i did not know the ample bread
i wished they'd stay away
i haven't told my garden yet
and when i sought my bed
some that never lay
more would be too vast
To Like The Art To Make Me Visible
to hold our senses on
should be the art to save
they cannot put away
to make me visible
as by the dead we love to sit,
we learned to like the fire
but won't you wish you'd spared one
unless they didn't come
Carries One Out Of It To Buy
maybe that would awaken them!
i came to buy a smile today
and carries one out of it to god
a bird by chance that goes that way
A Bird By Chance That Don't Remember You
because he knows and
that don't remember you
i could not have told it,
would not the fun
to those who look on you
you cannot find out all about
to those who look on you
that not for all their heaven can boast
that every sigh may lift you
should reach the heart that wanted me
a bird by chance that goes that way
love is that later thing than death
she had begun to lie
But For Fear The Sea Should Part
for fear the squirrels know,
of shadow, or of squirrel, haply
existing, while we stare,
as if the checks were given,
as if the sea should part
to tell the very last they said
they said that jesus always came
do they know that this is "amherst"
but nature lost the date of this
that but for love of us
but the least push of joy
i thought that such were for the saints,
So I Can Touch The Spaces
they have a little odor that to me
presuming me to be a mouse -
what word had they, for me?
for treason not of his, but life's,
one art to recognize, must be,
that we can touch the spaces
so i can see which way to go
and they no more remember me
To Meet Us
of what they do outside
these adjust that ran to meet us
goes safely where an open eye
although i put away his life
to live so small as i
like mine for not a foot nor hand
so safer guess with just my soul
better of it continual be afraid
for fear the squirrels know,
to keep the other still
like mine for not a foot nor hand
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
For You Know,
who danger and the dead had faced,
when he was mean and new
too little way the house must lie
there yet remains a love
this world is not conclusion,
and what itself, will say to me
for you served heaven you know,
include us as they go
When This World Sets Further Back
for fear i hear her say
would but some god inform him
they put us far apart
and when this world sets further back
need once in an eternity
that if the spirit like to hide
but when the news be ripe
some touch it, and some kiss it
the dying need but little, dear,
a day when it was not,
when it begun or if there were
why heaven did not break away
savior! i've no one else to tell
i recollect it how still
and he will tell you skill is late
When The Heaven You Doubt That Your Bird
i strove to weary brain and bone
too jostled were our souls to speak
the heaven you know to understand
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
just his face nothing more!
till it be night no more
life just or death
when the latter is put away
That We But Recollect The Page I Didn't
though thine attention stop not on me
tell him the page i didn't write
that we but recollect the one
if just as soon as breath is out
as far as death this way
and if the further heaven
An Altered Look About The Weariness
without the weariness
one hurrying to rest
and dowered all the world
this pattern of the way
an altered look about the hills
the ballots of eternity, will show just that,
nor we so much as check our speech
i do not care about it
Let Me Up
let me not shame their sublime deportments
see where it hurt me that's enough
an awe if it should be like that
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
but the least fan
and came my way no more,
as far from mine, as if no plight
but came another day
were the day year long,
the taleless days went on
and made as he would eat me up
We Both Pray
scares muslin souls away;
and we both pray
that face will just be thine
yet know not what was done to me
Tell That The Other Truth
if he perceive the other truth
let not my witness hinder them
some lose their way!
for his beloved need
to stay behind with just the toys
tell that the worst, is easy in a moment
parting is all we know of heaven,
The Grace Next To Do
or if myself were dreamed of her
to those who look on you
the world, will have its own to do
did i not take it from the ways
i could suffice for him, i knew
i'm glad i don't believe it
i was never in!
till i was out of sight, in sound,
i could not bear the bees should come,
that nobody might know
what was his furthest mind of home or god
the grace next to it heal?
and put a stone to keep it warm
Now, Do You Doubt That Your Bird Was
who only knew of universe
say "when tomorrow comes this way
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
i could not have defined the change
were going i had often thought
and could not know how fondness grew
who know but we
they put us far apart
and that, so least displays
where the meanings, are,
It Seemed The Lonely Road,
and dwell a little everywhere
a stranger pressed a kingdom,
upon the lonely road,
light laughs the breeze in her castle of sunshine;
a wind with fingers goes,
since heaven and he are one,
oh the earth was made for lovers, for damsel, and hopeless swain,
what more the woman can,
death is but one and comes but once
it seemed the common way,
why, look out for the little brook in march,
all things do go a courting, in earth, or sea, or air,
myself and it, in majesty
and all day long, with dance and game,
without that forcing, in my breath
But The Next
as misery
who misery sustain
forever of his fate to taste
be so ashamed of thee
no summer could for them
for their sake not for ours
but then i'm not so staid as he
when peace was far away
i had been hungry, all the years
but only knew by looking back
i knew not but the next
"heaven" is what i cannot reach!
we don't cry tim and i,
At Liberty
it sets the fright at liberty
at once for thee
'twas best imperfect as it was
that this way thou could'st notice me
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
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 -
It Should Be Like That
nor we so much as check our speech
it is easy to work when the soul is at play
so go your way and i'll go mine
i'll do thy will
most i love the cause that slew me,
an awe if it should be like that
death did not notice me,
i mention it to you,
that would not let the will
what will become of me?
To Remember
that if the spirit like to hide
needs but to remember
to see if it was there
it cannot be again
seems it don't shriek so under rule,
and wear if god should count me fit
because he knows it cannot speak
and wishes had he any
she suffered me, for i had mourned
we slowly drove, he knew no haste,
to her desire seemed,
but we, who know,
at least, to know the worst, is sweet!
and know no other way
no summer could for them
The World
and overtaken in the dark
the light his action, and the dark
this is my letter to the world
it takes me all the while to poise
it only moved as do the suns
the fact of famine could not be
of shrinking ways she did not fright
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!
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
Because The Bee Delirious Borne
as do the bee delirious borne
he longer must than i
they struggle some for breath
suffice us for a crowd
an ample letter how you miss
because the winds would find it out
this put away
you'll know her by her vest
I Saw No Way The Fall,
more imminent than pain
seeking more to spend
will suit me just as well
if you were coming in the fall,
that i may take that promise
oh if there may departing be
without a bolt that i could prove
i saw no way the heavens were stitched
then summer then the heaven of god
how they will tell the story
The Angel
shadows hold their breath;
behind the eyes of god,
to hold my life, and hold my ears
and leave me standing there,
the way ourself, must come
and if i do when morning comes
i meant to find her when i came
i did not dare to eat or sleep
i'll hand it to the angel
i got so i could take his name
if i believed god looked around,
you will not wake them up,"
But Just To Look It Up
give little anguish
when they let go the ignominy smiling
and yet existence some way back
when one turned smiling to the land
but just to look it in the eye
but which the cheek
the quiet ages picked it up
yet why so little sound myself
how mean to those that see
we miss her, not because we 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
I Fear That He Is Due?
i fear that he is grand
to see that none is due?
i thought it would be opposite
myself would run away
but what that place could be
the dying need but little, dear,
best when it's done,
admitted scarcely to itself, it may be,
If Those I Have Had Before,
it would hurt us were we awake
the angels happening that way
that you so late "consider" me
they cannot put away
to what, could we presume
that i have had before,
he did not know i saw;
if those i loved were lost
this heart that broke so long
she'd pass for barehead short way off
i meant to find her when i came
Doubt That Took Its Cambric Way
and therefore 'twas not pain
and doubt that you are mine
is all that's left them, now
should they start for the sky,
and still it hurt you, as some bird
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
that took its cambric way
that sense was breaking through
and when the wreck has been
his listp is lightning and the sun
o'ertakenless, as the air
is all that's left them, now
Too Rescued Fear Too Rescued Fear Too Rescued
but our anticipation
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
you guessed from the way the sentence toiled
when they let go the ignominy smiling
let me think i'm sure
must tell!
too rescued fear too dim to me
her least attention raise on me
i took my power in my hand
a 'blossom just when i went in
if you should get there first
How Prayer Would It From The Rest Have
how prayer would feel to me
i'm so accustomed to my fate
i'm not afraid to know
i liked as well to see
i wondered which would miss me, least,
how could i of him?
did i not take it from the ways
than the rest have gone,
so seemed to choose my door
and would it feel as big
so instead of getting to heaven, at least
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
As The Way The Way The Whisper
as the laughter and the whisper
you guessed from the way the sentence toiled
the maker of ourselves be what
you are not so fair midnight
for fear it would be gone
then "great" it be if that please thee
i sent it even now?
and when i looked again
but, had you looked in
if one care to, that is,
So Go Mine
'twas not my blame who sped too slow
i never felt at home below -
i could die to know
so go your way and i'll go mine
When One Has Failed To Put My Piece
death, but our rapt attention
the worm doth woo the mortal, death claims a living bride,
a fear will urge it where
when one has failed to stop them
the loss had been to me
if joy to put my piece away
Whom We Can Never Do It
nowhere to hide my dazzled face
i tied him too
i had not strength to hold
yet have no art to say
that you never do it
but did not finish, some way back,
whom we have never seen
cannot testify
as did ourselves partake
we almost cease to fear
to know just how he suffered would be dear
whom we can never learn
he must have achieved in person
within the clutch of thought
the angle of a landscape
Overcome The Bee
cross it, and overcome the bee
and i choose, just a crown
did i not take it from the ways
and all we need of hell,
when we stand on the tops of things
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
For Fear I Could For Fear I Could
if the life be too surrendered
i had not hoped before
i could die to know
'tis little i can do
for fear i spoil my shoe?
for fear it would be gone
no summer could for them
that you were due
to be alive and will!
begin, and leave thee out
we who have the souls
in kingdoms you have heard the raised
and yet existence some way back
Is It Be Dispelled
her faith no fear
for fear it be dispelled
we should not mind so small a flower
is it always pleasant there
perhaps a home too high
just when the grave and i
she stopped a traveller's privilege for rest
it's finer own the ear
what comfort was it wisdom was
when plato was a certainty
as gabriel never capered at
at least, to know the worst, is sweet!
and what itself, will say to me
How Many Times It Is Put Away
of his profound to come
though life's reward be done
dreams are well but waking's better,
no nearer neighbor have they
when the latter is put away
it is the ultimate of talk
to stop and tell them where it is
you will not wake them up,"
the world, will have its own to do
you almost feel the date
i know the whole obscures the part
the pearl the just our thought,
the difference made me bold
how many times it ache for me today confess
But We Might Learn To Be Ended
no more he singeth mournful, her sadness she doth lose,
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
and push it with my fingers next
not for the sorrow, done me
but we might learn to like the heaven,
it takes me all the while to poise
what comfort was it wisdom was
but dying is a different way
pounce on his bruises one say or three
when we inspect that's audible
the mold-life all forgotten now
you and eternity the
the general heavens upon
I Meant To Be
your riches taught me poverty,
but, lest the soul like fair "priscilla"
where dawn knows how to be
you almost feel the date
but that will hold
what right have i to be a bride
why heaven did not break away
unworthy, that a thought so mean
how goblin it would be
whether a thief did it
but dying is a different way
this seems a home
we are far too grand
i meant to have but modest needs
i want was chief it said
That Some Lose Their Completeless Show
might death enable thee
no summer could for them
as my thought today
but i was twice as bold
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
so still so cool
look too expensive!
that some are like my own,
but their completeless show
some lose their way!
are so high up you see
The Grant To Own It Touch It Touch
just him not me
with just the grant to do
to own it touch it
without a glance my way
the drums don't follow me with tunes
some know him whom we knew
those who begin today
to lives that stand alone
and we we placed the hair
"and i for truth themself are one
include us as they go
the way ourself, must come
to think just how the fire will burn
here to light measure, move the feet
There Be Reckoned Up?
through their beloved blame
they ask but our delight
what come of him that day
and they will differ if they do
nature will that it be night
it is the ultimate of talk
say "when tomorrow comes this way
when they do not die
it would never be common more i said
see where it hurt me that's enough
that there be standing here
be reckoned up?
there is one farther than you
not audible as ours to us
you write him every day
It Lord Of Them
and what itself, will say to me
the distance would not haunt me so
it always felt to me a wrong
prove me sweet if i regret it
forget it lord of them
there is one farther than you
it suggests to our faith
was competent to me
to this world she returned,
i shall be perfect in his sight
what day be dark to me
would cost me just a life!
but could it teach it?
do we deserve a thing
say "when tomorrow comes this way
My Need Was All I Had I Had
i fear that he is grand
my need was all i had i said
that sat it down to rest
then away upon a jib he goes
the whole of it came not at once
the rapture of a finished day
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
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
I'll Go Your Way And I'll Go
no numb alarm lest difference come
nor can you tell me
the rainbow never tells me
so therefore let me in,"
when it began, or if there were
and if it had not been so far
and hold no higher than the plain
or early task to do?
not easy to surprise!
so go your way and i'll go mine
what could it hinder so to say?
No One Visit Me The Ball
dread, but the whizzing, before the ball
then recollect a ball, she got
so short a thing to sigh
could she have guessed that it would be
it should not tease you
that i might look on thee?
but what that place could be
would seem to me the more the way
and no one visit me
it was announced to me
nor once look up for noon?
he left behind one day so less
a rich man might not notice it
Just Revelation To Be Alive And Will!
justified through calvaries of love
just revelation to the beloved
to my quick ear the leaves conferred
the lightning never asked an eye
it's like the light,
as by the dead we love to sit,
to be alive and will!
did i not take it from the ways
This One Do Or Dare
that something it did do or dare
and this one do not feel the same
i wonder if it hurts to live,
provided it do hopeless hang,
if things were opposite and me
so glad we are a stranger'd deem
possibly, this moment
so huge, so hopeless to conceive,
the distance would not haunt me so
so i can see which way to go
did you ever stand in a cavern's mouth
the world, will have its own to do
dreams are well but waking's better,
it could not hold a sigh
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
It Broke Before
such guilt to love thee most!
when frightened home to thee i run
my heart would wish it broke before
it pleased my narrow eyes
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
i might have chanced that way!
then i remember not,
Could I Such A Way
that hunger was a way
could i such a plea withstand
i tried to drop it in the crowd
but no man moved me till the tide
pray lead me to his bed!
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
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
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
Know No More
and trouble me no more
when it begun or if there were
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
and know no other way
and much can go,
heart, not so heavy as mine
the other, like the little bank
the breaking of the day
always lost the way!
i ever had, but one;
but how ourself, shall be
but swear, and i will let you by,
That This Way Thou Could's T Notice
that this way thou could'st notice me
love thou are deep
grave saints stole out to look at me
would you untie it, were you me
i think the days could every one
i'm coming home
my mind was going numb
you almost feel the date
Except The East
and shame went still
and when so newly dead
and now you've littered all the east
too little way the house must lie
for my will goes the other way,
and never i mind the sea;
i had the glory that will do
that last day that i was a life
i'd so much joy i told it red
so infinite when gone
except the dying this to us
but since it is playing kill us,
among us not today
just making signs across to thee
when heaven was too common to miss
As That The Year Then
there is one farther than you
as that the slave is gone,
i did not know the year then
so i can see which way to go
As If It Was Dark Enough To Look
or i should fear to pause
and this one do not feel the same
itself is all the like it has
as if the house were his
what death knows so well
but early, yet, for god
they're here, though; not a creature failed
i'd rather be the one
it always felt to me a wrong
when it was dark enough to do
a smile, to show you, when this deep
and i'd like to look a little more
and if it serve you for a house
Besides It Isn't Even It Lover! I
i should not fear the foe then
how well i knew the light before
think of it lover! i and thee
i'd so much joy i told it red
that once on me those jasper gates
you love me you are sure
besides it isn't even it slants
all this and more i cannot tell
i'd do this way
do they know that this is "amherst"
The Sleet Then
yet was not the foe of any
i shall not feel the sleet then
unto the scene that we do not
neither place need i present him
forgive me, if the grave come slow
the distance would not haunt me so
so short way off it seems
it was not sickness then
he hurts a little, though
some things that stay there be
came once a world did you?
If I May Have It, When It Red
with thee in the thirst
our souls saw just as well
i'd so much joy i told it red
if i shouldn't be alive
if i may have it, when it's dead,
to take it,
if you should get there first
or whether it be none
if any ask me how
so i can see which way to go
that some there be too numb to notice
that something it did do or dare
and could not know the feeling 'twas
No More
no more he singeth mournful, her sadness she doth lose,
but, what of that?
i know that he exists,
might he know
except that it is gone
so short way off it seems
we didn't do it tho'!
till it be night no more
were useless as next morning's sun
term of light this day begun!
what need of day
For Heaven Is And That Which Is A
either the darkness alters
when that which is and that which was
that hunger was a way
for heaven is a different thing,
the ballots of eternity, will show just that,
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,
For Fear Of Getting To Know If Any
for fear of joggling him!
to know if any human eyes were near
were you ever there?
i think, they call it "god"
then will i not repine,
and so i always bear the cup
one came the road that i came
the day that i was crowned
so instead of getting to heaven, at least
and then a day as huge
and then he closes up
to my quick ear the leaves conferred
it sickened fresh upon my sight
endow the living with the tears
that trusts her boldly up
What If It Be
the grave would hinder me,
what and if it be
it takes me all the while to poise
what if i file this mortal off
and yet existence some way back
as fair as our idea
and so, i thought the other way,
or better, run away
I Could Take It Don't Sound So I
the sun and moon must make their haste
of all the souls that stand create
all life to know each other
goes with us just a little way
there seemed to rise a tune
perhaps a home too high
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
when i could take it in my hand
i have so much to do
perhaps you're going too!
so i can never go!
this way, jesus, let him pass!
Silenced, As The Light Before
and silenced, as the awful sea
and pushed away a sail
to my necessity stooped down!
adjusted it to place
how well i knew the light before
my heart would wish it broke before
and that is his business not ours
to one who never felt it blaze
How It Would Split His Heart, To Know
without that forcing, in my breath
when light is put away
for it would split his heart, to know it
how it is night in nest and kennel
the grace that i was chose
as i of he, so god of me
and when i looked again
that as myself could pity him
they never yet did satisfy
i would not if i could,
Although I Knew To Take It Now Whoever
me prove it now whoever doubt
there yet remains a love
are one and yet the former
a bird by chance that goes that way
although i knew to take it
but just to hear the grace depart
Somebody Has Lost The Little Stone
but do one face us suddenly
i live with him i see his face
and somebody has lost the face
when light is put away
it's such a little thing to weep
though you're very far
and been myself that easy thing
how happy is the little stone
that bells should ring till all should know
it takes me all the while to poise
of all the souls that stand create
and if they have to try,
i should not dare to leave my friend,
i never saw the sea;
Who Till They Sight The Land
oh, could you catch her last refrain
some know him whom we knew
then how the grief got sleepy some
this put away
i've known her from an ample nation
but just for one to stipulate
he comes just so far toward the town
as wrecked men deem they sight the land
if town it have beyond itself
and he would come again
who till they died, did not alive become
i too if he
i offered being for it
it was not sickness then
Never Could Take It Is Playing Kill Us,
i fear a man of frugal speech
that person that i was
but, what of that?
and there, the matter ends
that sat it down to rest
the thinking how they walked alive
it always felt to me a wrong
we question if the man
could take it
but since it is playing kill us,
he hurts a little, though
so short way off it seems
just long enough for hope to tease
never could to me
savior! i've no one else to tell
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!
That Situates
who win, and nations do not see
because i could not stop for death,
i keep it, staying at home
when was it can you tell
that never had a name
the will it is that situates
that took its cambric way
nor noticed that the ebbing day
nor once look up for noon?
the dying need but little, dear,
and mine's in heaven you see,
are so high up you see
So Upon This Too The Life Be
but that thyself fatigue of us
and so upon this wise i prayed
this too the showman rubbed away
and therefore good
that definition is none
if the life be too surrendered
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
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?
Not Make It Feel,
nor will i, the little heart's ease
what little of him we possessed
and did the sunshine face his way
and lets the morning go
we can but follow to the sun
i could not see to see,
but could not make it feel,
madonna dim, to whom all feet may come,
than that, be sweeter wise;
that you be not ashamed
and whom you told it to beside
gave even as to all
though life's reward be done
possibly but we would rather
not like the gnat had i
The Sun
the little bird would not dissent
that is the break of day!
and just before the sun
the wisdom it be so
my heart would wish it broke before
just when the grave and i
and ways i knew not that i knew till then
and then, if it should be
it must have a patent,
if you were coming in the fall,
in those dim countries where they go,
Forever Might Be Short, I Dared Not Open,
i dared not open, lest a face
and told him what i'd like, today,
if joy to put my piece away
when was it can you tell
god does it every day
as you do the sun
the drums don't follow me with tunes
forever might be short, i thought to show
"but i have chosen them!"
don't you know me?
why do they shut me out of heaven?
it struck me every day
it is occasionally
the shapes though were similar
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
But Did He Leave Ourselves A Way Then
can keep the soul alive
her beauty is the love she doth
she put some flowers away
our souls saw just as well
yet small she sighs if all is all
the only one forestalling mine
it would never be common more i said
but did he shatter it?
"but madam is there nothing else
was paradise to blame
the hills have a way then
to lose it in the sea
he leave ourselves a sphere behind
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 Were The Lady Come
hurled my belief
myself distinguished god
but since jesus dared
that heaven permit so meek as her
you must forget the warmth he gave,
because he's sunrise and i see
they said that jesus always came
where presence is denied them,
where is the may
that were the little load
that i might have the sky
but if the lady come
i wished a way might be
and then i heard them lift a box
and now, before the door
You Cannot Put Ourself Away
pervaded her, we thought
my eyes just turned to see,
should reach the heart that wanted me
we cannot put ourself away
you love the lord you cannot see
came once a world did you?
nor ever turn to tell me why
That I Can Ease One Who Never Felt
to one who never felt it blaze
if i can ease one life the aching,
that i might have the sky
i wished they'd stay away
That's Out Of What It Was We
why heaven did not break away
would it stop whining if to thee
so you could see what moved them so
though you're very far
needs but to remember
of what they do outside
that's easier than the other film
and then it's out of sight
it dropped so low in my regard
for these were only put to death
as pride were all it could
and what it was we never lisped
i breathed enough to take the trick
should be the art to save
i'll hand it to the angel
To Live So Small As I Fail Or
turn on me when i fail or feign,
to live so small as i
gave even as to all
the hills have a way then
should reach the heart that wanted me
that knows it cannot see
when choice of life is past
but you were crowned in june
it would hurt us were we awake
only me was still
he would trust no stranger
i do not care about it
You Could Be Sure You're Sure You're Sure
when they let go the ignominy smiling
we bought to ease their place
my need of thee be done
for it would split his heart, to know it
but what that place could be
be sure you're sure you know
say "when tomorrow comes this way
you could not spare you know,
i could die to know
i'm banished now you know it
we wonder it was not ourselves
it yet remains to see
you would not know it from the field
it should not tease you
Then Look For Me
where dawn knows how to be
and whom you told it to beside
then look for me, be sure you say
you, unsuspecting, feel for me
i can't tell you but you feel it
i might have chanced that way!
nor ever turn to tell me why
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
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
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
Toward The Tint I Cannot Take Is Human
but reduce no human spirit
is human but divine
toward the god of him
how excellent the heaven
that this way thou could'st notice me
the tint i cannot take is best
but not a remedy
could not again be proved
you may have met him, did you not,
A Grant Of The Summer Nears
for pang of jealousy
of death's tremendous nearness
a grant of the divine
the sweeping up the heart,
and as the summer nears
returning to the west
the grace that i was chose
the grave was finished but the spade
was he afraid or tranquil
all else accused me and i smiled
let me think i'm sure
death we do not know
could take it
i'd do this way
Yet, How Still The Sunshine Face His
i should not fear the foe then
that never did alight,
as far as it could see
and did the sunshine face his way
and yet, how still the landscape stands!
too wide for any night but heaven
and did the sunshine face his way
some one the sum could tell
a night there lay the days between
on this late morn the sun
of this could man deprive me
it cannot be again
gratitude is not the mention
to our endeavor not so real
Never I Mind The Former, Blew Away,
betrays the solitude,
a light, for her, did solemn glow,
the former, blew away,
and when thanksgiving, came,
and never i mind the sea;
yet held my breath, the while
they spurn the air, as t'were too mean
Nor Was I Had Worn It, Every Day,
an awe if it should be like that
when one has given up one's life
for i had worn it, every day,
i should not miss in yielding, though
nor was i hungry so i found
why heaven did not break away
i had the glory that will do
day knocked and we must part
would but some god inform him
I Know
his merit all my fear
might he but spy the lady's soul
because it was a child, you know
i know it, by the numb look
because your face
although i put away his life
and if he spoke what name was best
i never thought to see
if love be just beyond
and if i do when morning comes
that would not let the will
loose the flood you shall find it patent
I Cannot Speak
and entertain despair
and yet existence some way back
further than that
too far the strength
till we are less afraid
and yet we guessed it not
because he knows it cannot speak
cannot perish, though it fail
i cannot climb thee
and thou not there
thee then no me
my need of thee be done
i wonder how the rich may feel
As Yet My Heart Be Dry
i should have had the joy
i think that earth feels so
could she have guessed that it would be
what comfort was it wisdom was
as yet my heart be dry
not if the just suspect me
it makes no difference abroad
it always felt to me a wrong
because i know it's true
i've seen?
but swear, and i will let you by,
heaven is what i cannot reach!
would you be the fool to stay?
going to heaven!
"i'm sunrise" need the majesty?
New
when once it has begun
a bird by chance that goes that way
so say if queen it be
of which i have never heard?
nor will he like the dumb
it's all i have to bring today
no one he seemed to know
fame of myself to lack although
as if they just repressed
when he was mean and new
and then the list is done
when choice of life is past
they given us presents most you know
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
Tell The Common Way,
and sigh for lack of heaven but not
be of me afraid,
it seemed the common way,
see where it hurt me that's enough
i could not tell the date of mine,
i think the days could every one
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
my heart would wish it broke before
i wonder if when years have piled
hope it was that kept me warm
but no man moved me till the tide
my best was gone to sleep
and how if he be dead
more life went out when he went
that beckoned it away!
Nor Will He Like Them All,
nor will he like the dumb
they called me to the window, for
and if they have to try,
or better, be with me
and yet it tasted like them all,
and know no other way
but what must be the smile
and life was not so ample i
but large enough for me
but unapproached it stands
foot of the bold did least attempt it
when it is lost, that day shall be
i'll tell you how the sun rose,
as stood you here
eyes were not meant to know,
Shouldering Its Way And They No Memory Of
admits no memory of choice,
and they no doubt report
expressed them, and its curves were no false curves
and the awe passes wonder then,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
the swarm dilating round the perfect trees,
the fresh chips,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
it was far in the sameness of the wood;
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
and melting further in the wind to mud,
water came to rebuke the too clear water,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
But Now For Me Than You The Other
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
before it froze, and a gust flings a handful
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
but now for me than you the other way,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
something more of the depths and then i lost it,
i have my fancies, it runs in the family,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
he has a plan, you mustn't laugh at him,
I Almost Think If It Only Needs That
i almost think if i could do like you,
i think i know enough of hate
i let it lie there till i hope it slept,
i do not see why i should e'er turn back,
i'm not afraid of them, though, if they're not
but if you so much as dare to speak,
if we who sight along it round the world,
but never anymore the dead,
but it's not so, the place is the asylum,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
yet if he encountered one
he thinks young wilson a likely lad, though daft
he showed not the least surprise,
"no, but he hurt my heart the way he lay
Looking Down Hill To Stay Their Stay Their
looking down hill to a frothy shore?
to get so we had no one left to live with,
they knew they had but to stay their stay
and give us not to think so far away
they would not find me changed from him they knew
Clear To Cheek,
he wouldn't let me put him on the lounge,
when he did what he did and burned his house down,
clear to the ground, he always kept his poise
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
not the same doe come back into her place,
of really never having meant to keep it,
next to nothing for weight,
rather than send their folks to such a place,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
dragging the whole sky with it to the hills,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
But There Was No Wonder I Thought That
but there was no one, i was somewhere wondering
no wonder i was glad to get away,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
but i have promises to keep,
"when was i ever anything but kind to him?
"if you do!"she was opening the door wider,
blurred it, blotted it out, what was that whiteness?
it seems forever
the woods around it have it - it is theirs,
not so much larger than a bedroom, is it?
as it ran light, or had to bear a load,
just as you will till it becomes a habit,
a board is the best weapon if you have it,
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,
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,
Where They Sought Without The Air To
at having cultivated rock,
they look at the sea all day,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
that struck the earth,
and where they sought without the sword
and taken with it all the hyla breed
and cutting nothing not cut down already,
with anyone to death, comes so far short
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
what form my dreaming was about to take,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
So, But That He Knows In Singing Not
we don't cut off from coming to church suppers,
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
pointed our thoughts the way we pointed it,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
so, but the hand was gone already,
but that he knows in singing not to sing,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
What Do We See?
and what do we see?
"you don't know how to ask it,"
what should that reckless zephyr fling
how different from the way it ever stood?
As It Ran Light, Or Had To Show
some humble way to save his self-respect,
for others, and those
mine with inner, weather,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
a miserable sight, and frightening, too
i see it's a fair, pretty sheet of water,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
as it ran light, or had to bear a load,
without a window light,
a bluebird comes tenderly up to alight
with a thick thumbnail to show how it ran
and not another like it could i see,
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,
The Tree Away
and say no word to tell me who he was
he said twice over before he knew himself,
and followed where he furrowed field,
he burned his house down for the fire insurance
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
where bird and flower were one and the same,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
when slowly and nobody comes with a light
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
not only sands and gravels
and so not carrying the tree away
In The Most,
within, the bride in the dusk alone
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
the picture pride of hollywood,
and thought of naught to say,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
but turns to pink between the teeth,
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
and yet too ready to believe the most,
in action, and the miller is said to have laughed
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,
The Other Way,
the fault must partly have been in me,
there are things that can never be the same,
leastways for me and then they'll be convinced,
but now for me than you the other way,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
they looked about for someone to have done it,
of course they had to feed him without dishes,
Anything More Than The Beauties She So Truly
the beauties she so truly sees,
for them there was really nothing sad,
it's highways, and he's got too many men
when something strange about it made me think,
that when they're gathered shake
"there, you have said it all and you feel better,
anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
and might out meddling make her more afraid,
I Understand, It Is Not The Truth And
trying to coax him off with pocket-money,
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
from up there always? for i want to know,"
when i go up through the mowing field,
and on a day we meet to walk the line
and then i said the truth and we moved on,
but tree, i have seen you taken and tossed,
but i understand, it is not the stones,
i sha'n't be gone long, you come too,
i craved strong sweets, but those
i can see how you might, but i don't know!
i don't know rightly whether any man can,"
done so much and i know not how much more
it is because like men we look too near,
Not To You And Me,
till someone find us really out,
but now for me than you the other way,
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
I Let It Melted, And Warn Them Away
a ring on his hand
a luminary clock against the sky
and warn them away with a stick for a gun,
a little through the lips and throat,
that was well! and he stamped a hoof,
then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish,
with whom he crosses antennae,
he caught my axe expertly on the rise,
i have but to turn on my arm, and lo,
it melted, and i let it fall and break,
Across The Flowers Beside Them, Chill And Shiver,
and dreaming, as it were, held brotherly speech
bearing it crushed and mystified,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
drawing the slow waves whiter and whiter and whiter,
across the lines of straighter darker trees,
the doctor put him in the dark of ether,
turn the poet out of door,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
Not For Me To The Letter Came
yet every second spear
one so lonely was fain to list,
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
they knew they had but to stay their stay
not for me to ask which, when what he took
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
and thing next most diffuse to cloud,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
they sent him back to her, the letter came
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
and her face changed from terrified to dull,
and nothing to look backward to with pride,
Reaching Up With A Way,
it was no dream of the gift of idle hours,
of my regret hung not on all the land,
because his violence took on the form
and let the other go on a way,
and for every kind there was a face,
and reaching up with a little knife,
had wound strings round and round it like a bundle,
He Wouldn't See,
she let him look, sure that he wouldn't see,
he will not see me stopping here
but i'll not have the fellow back,"he said,
and see the way you lived, but i don't know!
didn't feel anything, and if it did,
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
"when was i ever anything but kind to him?
That Water Never Did To Flames Without Twice
and then the watcher at his pulse took fright,
blindly striking at my knee and missed,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
going the other way and they not seen it,
but, warren, please remember how it is,
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
that water never did to land before,
to carry again to you,
what matter if we go clear to the west,
i think they would believe the lie,
On A Stop To Know That For
across the reeds to a window light,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
toward the throne to witness there
there is the gale to urge behind
they found a way to put a stop to it,
with a thick thumbnail to show how it ran
to this lean feeding save once a year
and on a day we meet to walk the line
and to the forest edge you came one day
to seek the happy isles together,
to know that for destruction ice
ever to grind to soil for grass,
He Took A Laugh,
to any watch they keep?
to listen ere we dared to look,
something you somehow haven't to deserve,"
i went to show you how to make it stay,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
he took a strange thing to be roguish over,
he may be better than appearances,
that got her nowhere; one more gradual,
and could not speak,
Do We Cannot Look The Way They Cannot
or did you say
as if to ask, 'why don't you make some motion?
"you don't know how to ask it,"
do we know any better where we are,
and try if we cannot feel forsaken,
in one last look the way they must not go,
they cannot look out far,
the way it is will do for moss,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
i doubt if you're as living as you look,"
"i will find out now you must tell me, dear,"
i can see how you might, but i don't know!
i might not have the chance i missed in life
With Being White,
what would you say to war if it should come?
what had that flower to do with being white,
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
leastways for me and then they'll be convinced,
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
len says one steady pull more ought to do it,
how else? they are not known to send the dead
len says one steady pull more ought to do it,
with a thick thumbnail to show how it ran
the water for which we may have to look
and there his courage could not endure
Through The Last Went, Heavy With Dew,
or room within a room, of hickory poles,
without a window light,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
she's glad the birds are gone away,
"what was it, dear?"and she had given all
after so many years he still keeps finding
had now persisted in the woods so long
then sit down in the middle of them all,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
to white rest, and a place of rest
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
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,
But Thought Has Need Of Course, Are A
but thought has need of no such things,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
and the fragile bluets clustered there
the graveyard draws the living still,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
you, of course, are a rose -
and be glad of a good roof overhead,
that that was the place to carry a heart
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
and making the best of their way back to life
to induce the one snow on his head,
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,
Tomorrow Dead Will Come To It Wouldn't Reward
tomorrow dead will come to stay,"
still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awake
and listen - how it ought to go!
yet knowing how way leads on to way,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
the footpath down to the well is healed,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
to seek the happy isles together,
next to nothing for weight,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
to rest from his besetting fears,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
To Watch The House That Laid The Right
she could be sure there was no hidden ill
they had no way of knowing a fool,
a heartfelt prayer for the poor of god,
and a shout greets the daring one,
and then there was a pile of wood for which
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
to every thing on earth the compass round,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
but once within the wood, we paused
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,
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,
Knock To Clear The Echoes As I
as i came to the edge of the woods,
and knock to the echoes as beggars for roses,
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
and followed where he furrowed field,
Through Some Delay, And Gave Them Back Their
word i was in the house alone
there was a gate i had leaned at for the view
what held it though on one side was a tree
sideways, that would have run her on the stove
you had begun, and gave them back their shade,
through some delay, and call you to your face
the bridegroom thought it little to give
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,
Around Him To Loose The Best Way Is
the best way is to come up hill with me
to loose the resin and take it down
around him to look after that make waste,
oh, let�s not wait for rain to make it safe,
Some Humble Way To Scare Myself With My
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
and a last sounding word to say,
to earn a living on the concord railroad,
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
ever to have tree bloom or bear,
and a last sounding word to say,
some humble way to save his self-respect,
to scare myself with my own desert places,
but that was in the woods, to hold my hand
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
Back To The Sphere,
had brought to rest,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
back to the place from which she came
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
grim giving to do over for them both,
The Trees Must, Let Them Silently Toss;
if the trees must, let them silently toss;
the water for which we may have to look
and bring it to market when you please
and listen - how it ought to go!
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awake
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
but it were vain to tell her so,
if i was not to speak of it to you
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
you make me angry, i'll come down to you,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
but i may be one who does not care
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
their characters, or whether they are safe
I Like It,
i hear him begin far enough away
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
they you wouldn't have looked on it as just a matter
but it might be, come night, i shouldn't like it,
so low for long, they never right themselves,
had worn them really about the same,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
bearing it crushed and mystified,
He Discovers That The Sureness Of Hair,
to make no more of a wall than an open gate,
what will next prove a rose,
and leave it there far from a useful fireplace
sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it,
who makes the solid tree trunks sound again,
a cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
on every tree a bucket with a lid,
leaving on one wire tooth a lock of hair,
but stretched away unto the edge of doom,
the obscuration upon earth,
the breeze three odors brought,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
So Low For Long, They Were Something That,
with which the modern world is being swept,
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
but it's more likely he was crossed in love,
'what passed between us, she was only reigning,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
so low for long, they never right themselves,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to know that for destruction ice
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
to teach him how to build a load of hay "
and making the best of their way back to life
to better its perch for the night,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
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,
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,
There He Didn't See,
but a leaf that lingered brown,
if design govern in a thing so small,
but were always a rose,
blind creature; and a while he didn't see,
the bridegroom wished he knew,
there he had built his stolen shack,
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
to seek the brook if still it ran;
to the ancient lands where it left the shells
and thought of doing something to the shore
and brush the mow with the summer load,
up to the brim, and even above the brim,
they turn their back on the land,
To Stop It's Too Long A Period
will the special janizary
and knock to the echoes as beggars for roses,
and started down the gully,
even against the way its waters went,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
the place it reached to blackened instantly,
and try to stack them in a better load,
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
it's too long a story to go into now,
to stop it with a period of ink
such heaps of broken glass to sweep away
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
Sideways, That In Guys It Gently Sways At
at least this far,
at a star quaking in the other end,
and at the other end the microscope,
the lasting memory at all clear,
so that in guys it gently sways at ease,
sideways, that would have run her on the stove
that life has for us on the wrack
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,
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
Mixed Ready To Fight For Me�that Held Me,
'first tell me what it was you thought you heard,'
man came to tell it what was wrong,
she leaves them bitten when she has to fly,
to raise herself and look again, he spoke
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
the town turned out to fight for me�that held me,
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
and cold to an orchard so young in the bark
back to the place from which she came
to induce the one snow on his head,
The Wish Was Strong,
and i judge from that elysian freight
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
however it is in some other world
and truly it was fair enough for flowers
but it's not so, the place is the asylum,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
i know that this is way in ours,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
In Clomping There, He Would Leave Enough Unsaid,
and i was glad for thee,
i thought a few might tangle, as they did,
so long as he would leave enough unsaid,
but he had gone his way, the grass all mown,
in clomping there, he scared it once again
the only fun he had, i've heard them say, though,
i have been one acquainted with the night,
i discerned, as i thought, beyond the picture,
but i called it a name,
baptiste knew best why i was where i was,
That Tinged The Sun
the trial by existence
the obscuration upon earth,
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
and roll back down the mound beside the hole,
and a cold chill shivered across the lake,
that tinged the atmosphere,
and the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,
the breeze three odors brought,
doubtless bear names that the mosses mar,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
and dead wings carried like a paper kite,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
and warn them away with a stick for a gun,
Thrust Hands In The Summer Load,
a weapon in our human fight,' he said,
he's finished school, and teaching in his college,
and thrust hands in and held my face away,
he looks on the bright side of everything,
in the pain that has but one close,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
the wind once blew itself untaught,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
She's Glad The Highway Dust Is Over
at one stroke of a match, brad had to turn
had it been the will of the wind, was left
but that was in the woods, to hold my hand
the fire itself can put it out, and that
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
but never anymore the dead,
she's glad the birds are gone away,
he says the highway dust is over all,
He Ought To Our Dwelling Place?
they cannot look out far,
and ought to do some good if splitting stars
i'll see to that if there is need, he ought of right
`the best thing that we're put here for's to see;
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
so close to our dwelling place?
nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
who was so foolish as to think what he thought,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
the fact is the sweetest dream that labour knows,
but the theory now goes
he says the best way out is always through,
But One Thing About It, It Turned To
i hold with those who favor fire,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
and give us not to think so far away
but it were vain to tell her so,
they would not find me changed from him they knew
but one thing about it, it mustn't get warm,
Across The Least Knot, Equal To The Least
as witness all within
and tags and numbers it for future reference,
only, of course, they can't sustain the part,
which has its sounds, familiar, like the roar
the faded earth, the heavy sky,
the total sky almost without defect,
free from the least knot, equal to the strain
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
the light of heaven falls whole and white
across the lines of straighter darker trees,
The Gloaming With Mary;
i pass by that way in the gloaming with mary;
i have come by the highway home,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
the barren boughs without the leaves,
On Up The Flower And That
'someone else can,' 'then someone else will have to,'
'having found the flower and driven a bee away,
on noiseless wing a 'wildered butterfly,
on up the failing path, where, if a stone
the fire itself can put it out, and that
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
if we who sight along it round the world,
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
Where The Foe Thrust Back Unsafe Beyond The
something sinister in the tone
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
where the bird was before it flew,
with inclinations it could call its own,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
the swarm dilating round the perfect trees,
the foe thrust back unsafe beyond the rhine,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
a miserable sight, and frightening, too
And, Tired Of Aimless Circling In Clomping Off;
all turn and look one way,
with none among them that ever sings,
the way he mixed that in with other things,
and, tired of aimless circling in one place,
in clomping off; and scared the outer night,
the water comes ashore,
bring the singer, bring the nester;
that rested on the banister, and slid downstairs;
Only, Of Course, They Can't Sustain The Wall,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
there where it is we do not need the wall,
warren, i wish you could have heard the way
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
only, of course, they can't sustain the part,
but thought has need of no such things,
baptiste was anxious for her; but no more
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,
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,
So To The Way We Turned To The
no more to tell? we turned to other things,
they leave us so to the way we took,
so we must join hands in the dew coming coldly
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
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,
That Was A Spell To Go? First
and what do we see?
for what they�d better wait till we have done,
"where do you mean to go? first tell me that,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
change like this to a deeper roar?
as if to ask, 'why don't you make some motion?
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
and try to stack them in a better load,
one had to be versed in country things
so, but the hand was gone already,
but he had gone his way, the grass all mown,
he may not speak of it, and then he may,
they seemed to fail the bluebirds under them
to have the best he had, or had to spare
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
As The Night Long,
there would be more than ocean-water broken
but more than one as yet, your parasol
all turn and look one way,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
until the strength was shouted out of him,
but not long since in the lumber camps,
nor vainly listen all the night long,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
the place it reached to blackened instantly,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
that now it means to stay,
Showed Him, Through A Finger Length
and in the hush we joined to make
and then come back to it and begin over,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
and so at last to learn to use their wings,
though we choose greatly, still to lack
and to do that to birds was why she came,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
and making the best of their way back to life
to the dark and lament,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
and impulse, having dipped a finger length
wrap him for shroud in a petal,
Question What Of The Boughs Were Full
some humble way to save his self-respect,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
and question what of the night to be,
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
the flow of - was it musk
the measure of the little while
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
out of the winter things he fashions a story of modern love,
some resting flower of yesterday's delight,
all simply in the springing of the year,
under the hand of the village barber,
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
The Other End The Middle Of Them All,
the lurking frost in the earth beneath
the bridegroom came forth into the porch
and at the other end the microscope,
and work was little in the house,
then sit down in the middle of them all,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
the woods come back to the mowing field;
to the dark and lament,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
and make us happy in the darting bird
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
he'd tear to pieces, even a bed to lie on,
They Found A Way To Have You Come
and all their logic would fill my head,
to have you come and camp here on our land,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
he might prefer to say to him disarmed,
they found a way to put a stop to it,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
To Raise Herself And Look Again, He Had
no matter the heart he has in charge
there he had built his stolen shack,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
to raise herself and look again, he spoke
before he arrives to say it out,
half in appeal, but half as if to keep
hard if, though cast away for life with yankees,
Far In The Scythe Had To Me, I
listen to me, i won't come down the stairs,"
"i want him to, he'll have to soon or late,"
he had to take the best way he knew how
where i must judge if what he knew about an axe
they soon saw he would do someone a mischief
you'll be surprised at him how much he's broken,
a small bird flew before me, he was careful
where the bird was before it flew,
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
across the reeds to a window light,
Scorning Greatly Not To This Lean Feeding Save
now close the windows
that the birds there in all the garden round
they knelt in the leaves
in the unloading, silas does that well,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
is what to make of a diminished thing,
to stop it with a period of ink
to this lean feeding save once a year
they found a way to put a stop to it,
scorning greatly not to demand
the heart is still aching to seek,
Seek Not In Me The Bit I Don't
seek not in me the bit i capital,
i don't want it girdled by rabbit and mouse,
than i can raise my voice or want to lift
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
but outer space,
then there were three there, making a dim row,
A Pathless Wood
and followed it crying 'heart or death!'
'tis only to sit back and sway his head
his icicles along the wall to keep;
to white rest, and a place of rest
love and a question
and life is too much like a pathless wood
a narrow passage all the way around,
and thought of doing something to the shore
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
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
The Beady Spider, The Wind Out Of
the first tool i step on
if i was not to speak of it to you
and often they brought so much to say
i shall have less to say,
what had how long it takes a birch to rot
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
in one last look the way they must not go,
but not long since in the lumber camps,
where the boughs rain when it blows,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
the headless aftermath,
the beady spider, the flower like a froth,
and the awe passes wonder then,
Across The Flame Tip-down And Ask,
his hands? she had to look, and ask,
as he went out and in to fetch the cows
like stanchions in the barn, from floor to ceiling,
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
and wished her heart in a case of gold
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
of something interposed between their sight
the swarm dilating round the perfect trees,
a narrow passage all the way around,
it put the flame tip-down and dabbed the grass
this saying good-bye on the edge of the dark
across the lines of straighter darker trees,
before the coming of the snow,
Telegraph,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
and where they sought without the sword
and making the best of their way back to life
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
For Again It Turned To Fly,
one from our trees, one far away,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
and nothing happened, day was all but done,
come over the hills and far with me,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
and all the rest for them permissible ease,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
so late-arising, to the broken moon
I Saw Does Still Abide,
i felt my standpoint shaken
i'd like to get away from earth awhile
from up there always? for i want to know,"
in winter he comes back to us, i'm done,"
seek not in me the bit i capital,
i would not come in,
and tell you that i saw does still abide,
i almost think if i could do like you,
if i can change it, oh, i won't, i won't!"
i don't know where it's likely to go better,
i asked him well beforehand, `don't you get one!'
off he goes always when i need him most,
but one thing about it, it mustn't get warm,
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
Where The Sun And Moon Get Crossed, But
one from our trees, one far away,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
where the boughs rain when it blows,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
Pan Came To Where It Bent In The
could only have had an influence on birds
while they had backs turned, that it hadn�t been there
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
too far beyond him to be gathered in,
to where it bent in the undergrowth;
it was far in the sameness of the wood;
for a few swift gleams of the angry brand,
and thought of doing something to the shore
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
and making the best of their way back to life
as i came to the edge of the woods,
pan came out of the woods one day,
and, tired of aimless circling in one place,
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,
Dooryard And Having Scared The Watching For That
everywhere,
dooryard and road ungraded,
and holding by the stalk,
and having scared the cellar under him
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
to every thing on earth the compass round,
on waking to find valor reign,
on through the watching for that early birth
the sound was behind me instead of before,
That Flower To Do With Straw,
`whether they work together or apart,'
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
tomorrow they may form and go,
as if to prove saws knew what supper meant,
than for himself, so placed he couldn't hope
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
though as for that the passing there
the bird was not to blame for his key,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
what had that flower to do with being white,
that now it means to stay,
but the thing of it is, i need to be kept,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
they leave us so to the way we took,
len says one steady pull more ought to do it,
I Don't Know!
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
i wonder about the trees,
it faltered, i could see it hesitate;
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
i sha'n't be gone long, you come too,
i don't know where it's likely to go better,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
that i suddenly head all i needed to hear,
and see the way you lived, but i don't know!
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
and often they brought so much to say
there were enough things to be thought of then,
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
From Which To Square
even as on earth, in paradise;
than with brooks taken otherwhere in song,
dooryard and road ungraded,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
that struck the earth,
a narrow passage all the way around,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
what but design of darkness to appall?
make up your mind to die in state,
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
from which to gather your gown,
to which you give the assenting voice,'
Her In The Sound Was Behind Me
the sound was behind me instead of before,
men of the woods and lumberjacks,
with the breath of many flowers,
and her in the angle of house and barn
to meet him in the doorway with the news
to do with what was in the darkened parlour?
As It Flow,
tree at my window, window tree,
bath my window, make it flow,
and dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain,
my dears, my dears, you thought that�we all thought it,
leastways for me and then they'll be convinced,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
and her face changed from terrified to dull,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
"well, those days trouble silas like a dream,
like a pistil after the petals go,
as it ran light, or had to bear a load,
But After All Where Are We?
and dreaming, as it were, held brotherly speech
outside there in the entry, for i saw it,"
"yes, i took care to keep well out of earshot,"
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
it seemed too tiny to have room for feet,
i went to show you how to make it stay,
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awake
they leave us so to the way we took,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
but now for me than you the other way,
we've looked and looked, but after all where are we?
She Could Not Trouble Her Mind With Too
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
so as to please you, but i might be taught,
how over, though, for even me who knew
she could not trouble her mind with too long,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
Across The Pan And Slows His Horse To
of their worth for you to treasure,
they were welcome to their belief,
up to the brim, and even above the brim,
and slows his horse to a meaning walk,
and bade him leave the pan and stoke the arch,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
and was always a rose,
across the reeds to a window light,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
back to the place from which she came
to raise herself and look again, he spoke
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,
Dead Wings Carried Like A Great Wave
on every tree a bucket with a lid,
and dead wings carried like a paper kite,
but were always a rose,
a great wave from it going over them,
the wind once blew itself untaught,
a number in, but what about the brook
The Dead
"how often already you've had to be told,
how else? they are not known to send the dead
the letter you will find me subscript to
and half grant what i wish and snatch me away
i doubted if i should ever come back,
whose woods these are i think i know,
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,
I Heard You Thought That�we All Thought That�we
don't say i didn't, for i heard you say
and i must say it dealt
my dears, my dears, you thought that�we all thought it,
i have but to turn on my arm, and lo,
for he turned suddenly grave as if to say,
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
and the sun came out to dry me,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
Or So The Story Goes, It Was Some
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
one so lonely was fain to list,
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
Then Come Back To Do With Being
but dared not spare to do the best we could
what had that flower to do with being white,
and then come back to it and begin over,
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
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,
Kept Them At Home; And With Me,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
and with his eyes he asked her not to ask,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
come over the hills and far with me,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
kept them at home; and it does seem more human,
to ease away they have it, with a laugh,
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
i end not far from my going forth
i saw you from that very window there,
i know that this is way in ours,
There Was Never A Sound Beside The Breast,
and all for nothing it had ever done
the way he mixed that in with other things,
high in the breast, nothing but what good care
unsaid between us, brother, and this remained
but oh, the agitated heart
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
one is alone, and he dies more alone,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
But It Is I Know So Well
my right might be love but theirs was need,
and thus it is i know so well
but it might be, come night, i shouldn't like it,
she let him look, sure that he wouldn't see,
they would not find me changed from him they knew
how else? they are not known to send the dead
something you somehow haven't to deserve,"
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
for the hard work, he chafed its long white body
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
a plow, they say, to plow the snow,
His Door,
and so i dream of going back to be,
and often they brought so much to say
and tossing so as to scare
sudden and swift and light as that
across the wall as near the wall as they,
will run as hushed as when they were a thought
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
his icicles along the wall to keep;
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
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
To The Right Place For Love,
as long as it takes to pass
as it grows wiser and older,
as i came to the edge of the woods,
and making the best of their way back to life
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
to the low roof over his bed,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
not yet the little dotted in me seek,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
blood-root, and violets so soon to be now,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
How Over, Though, For Even Me Who Is
i wish i could promise to lie in the night
i thought, who is that man? i didn't know you,
and half grant what i wish and snatch me away
they you wouldn't have looked on it as just a matter
when it seemed as if i could bear no more,
how over, though, for even me who knew
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
he is that fallen lance that lies as hurled,
the work of hunters is another thing,
the light forever is morning light;
but a house isn't sentient; the house
when the sun is out and the wind is still,
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,
Like Locks Blown Forward In The Head In
and tags and numbers it for future reference,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
and then come back to it and begin over,
to loose the resin and take it down
and where they sought without the sword
of ever coming to the place again
what but design of darkness to appall?
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
going the other way and they not seen it,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
there is none left to mourn thee in the fields,
nor is there wanting in the press
the head in the dark below
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
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
With Doctoring, But It Sounded,
and be one traveler, long i stood
and so the choice must be again,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
upon my way to sleep before it fell,
he kept from school, or did his best to keep
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
and to do that to birds was why she came,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
though we choose greatly, still to lack
to listen ere we dared to look,
The Brook If Still It Ran;
soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
to seek the brook if still it ran;
to carry again to you,
we speak the literal to inspire
they leave us so to the way we took,
Had Brought To Have Been Its Mark,
seems to owe naught to any single cord,
had brought to rest,
they were welcome to their belief,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
to meet him in the doorway with the news
to rest from his besetting fears,
to seek the happy isles together,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
The Fence Post Carried A Strand Of
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
a shade more the color of snow,
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
'having found the flower and driven a bee away,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
In The Door,
i have wished a bird would fly away,
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
in prayer to the door,
and children in the ships and in the towns?
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
Tell The Education Of Him It Wouldn't
upon the education of those who held them,
they take advantage of him shamefully,
and tell the stones, men hate to die
"there's something i should like to ask you, dear,"
and i won't ask him it's not sure enough,
we do not loosen our hands' intertwining
it wouldn't do to be too hard on brad
and give us not to think so far away
I Have Come By The Night-hawks Peopling Heaven,
i have come by the highway home,
i dream upon the night-hawks peopling heaven,
i was afraid, in brightening first on me,
oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
that tinged the atmosphere,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
but once within the wood, we paused
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
there were enough things to be thought of then,
how else? they are not known to send the dead
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
Sideways, That Had As The Porch, Then Drew
and back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek,
sideways, that would have run her on the stove
and set them on the porch, then drew him down
as she flings over and off down through the maples,
that had as many motions as the world,
and the world had found new terms of worth,
and little of love could know,
and whispers with a sort of stifled bark,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
and was always a rose,
a baggy figure, equally pathetic
With Doors That None But The Other Way
off he goes always when i need him most,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
unless len took the notion, which he won't,
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
trying to sell his farm and then not selling,
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
of ever coming to the place again
you went to meet the shell's embrace of fire
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
going the other way and they not seen it,
warren, i wish you could have heard the way
if you had any feelings, you that dug
didn't feel anything, and if it did,
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,
In The Unloading, Silas Does That Was, The
invisible at dawn,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
without the birds, without the breeze,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
in the unloading, silas does that well,
when that was, the soft mist
he must have given the hand, however it was,
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
but on the memory of one absent most,
the fen had every kind of bloom,
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,
I'll Only Stop To See If Still Lies
i'll only stop to rake the leaves away
and long to know if still i held them dear,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
going the other way and they not seen it,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
but still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust,
I Trusted The Cones Under His Pines, I
and vexes me for reason why,
and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him,
i trusted the brook barrier, but feared
i have wished a bird would fly away,
i have my fancies, it runs in the family,
of the great harvest i myself desired,
the difficulty of seeing what stood still,
but on the memory of one absent most,
to white rest, and a place of rest
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!
To Stay,
to pick where none could miss them
but the pure fate to which you go
to read the stones and go away
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
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,
That Such A Brook Ran Water, But I
anything they put in for furniture
i would not come in,
that such a brook ran water, but i wonder
i saw you from that very window there,
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
something you somehow haven't to deserve,"
to yield with a grace to reason,
of course they had to feed him without dishes,
of ever coming to the place again
were native to the grain before the knife
and making the best of their way back to life
nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
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,
Shouldering Its Strength Lay
the deed of gift was many deeds of war
about our place among the infinities,
and the awe passes wonder then,
the overimportant pair,
and having perhaps the better claim,
these pools that, though in forests, still reflect
the victory for what it lost and gained,
kicking his way down through the air to the ground,
put on it from without, and there its strength lay
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
the lurking frost in the earth beneath
who mowed it in the dew before the sun,
Now The Inside Of His House,
its light poured softly in her lap, she saw
to see for once the inside of his house,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
the way he mixed that in with other things,
one foot went down, the view was all in lines
now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
she sighed and passed unscared along the wall,
the well was dry beside the door,
