Poems about wildernes
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
I Had No Cause To Be Standing Here
for fear the squirrels know,
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
i had no cause to be awake
are mostly so to me,
but not so soon
that there be standing here
are so high up you see
they cannot take me any more!
i learned at least what home could be
i think i won't however
i could not bear the bees should come,
i shall not fear the snow,
i felt the wilderness roll back
i kept it in my hand
Parting Is All We Both Pray
they leave us with the infinite,
parting is all we know of heaven,
that i might have the sky
i never would let go
god grows above so those who pray
and we both pray
we temples build i said
it may be wilderness without
you hear a being drop
what right have i to be a bride
to stop and tell them where it is
Permitted Face To Be A Rose
it may be wilderness without
as far as it could see
it tried to be a rose
permitted face to face to be
the easier to let go
because it's sunday all the time
insert the thing that caused it
the life is thick i know it!
oh, dear, i guess if he were a boy
had i not this, or this, i said,
