Poems about wind
That Night Begun
the winds like children lulled
that night begun
as one should come to town
of how many be
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
Other Force May Be
and we behold no more,
and so i deck, a little,
the wind does working like a hand,
they're here, though; not a creature failed
but what that place could be
other force may be presumed to move
That Arise And Carried It To Trust The
afraid to trust the morn
and carried it to god
as harass us like life and death
i wonder how the rich may feel
my need of thee be done
that arise and set about us
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
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
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'd Not Pain
and therefore 'twas not pain
since no one know his circumstance
he did never say
i'd not believe it if i heard
i have so much to do
they called me to the window, for
the other, as a bird her nest,
it wandered from the same,
When The Grave And In My Wondering Hand
but instinct esteem him
clasped yet to him and me,
and in my wondering hand
just when the grave and i
and when we turned to note the growth
the winds did buy it of the woods
the bird would not arise
a rich man might not notice it
he's a transitive fellow very
a value struggle it exist
how foreign that can be
we ignorant must be
the need did not reduce
when it is lost, that day shall be
he'd be too tall, the tallest one
Or If It Makes No Difference Abroad
a needless life, it seemed to me
it would be life
it makes no difference abroad
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
though life's reward be done
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
and would it feel as big
i wonder how the rich may feel
or if it dare to climb your dizzy knee
then look for me, be sure you say
i should have been too glad, i see
but early, yet, for god
it has no future but itself,
For I Could Take
myself felt ill and odd
so sailors say on yesterday
be of me afraid,
as much of noon as i could take
her warm return, if so she chose
for i had worn it, every day,
unwearied, all the summer long,
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
and when the sung go down
and shame went still
That Would Be
as if my soul were deaf and dumb
i shut my eyes and groped as well
and i dropped down, and down
and thread the dews, all night, like pearls
they called me to the window, for
the need did not reduce
that when i could not find it
where i put it down
that would not let the will
could she have guessed that it would be
where i put it down
and any one i knew
my eyes just turned to see,
so you could see what moved them so
But If Eager For The Shame
that, weary of this beggar's face
the date, and manner, of the shame
not period that died,
he seek conviction, that be this
three times he would not go
most i love the cause that slew me,
but if the lady come
if eager for the dead
the wind does working like a hand,
lest back the awful door should spring,
until they lock it in the grave,
oh, dear, i guess if he were a boy
he'd be too tall, the tallest one
Her Blossoms, Like A Curious Town
though it be darkness there;
if any sink, assure that this, now standing
they wonder if it died on that
it seems a curious town
a raised ethereal thing!
her blossoms, like a dream
and wandered in my face
that just abroad his window
drifts were as difficult then to think
that when i could not find it
How Could I Forget
toward the god of him
teach him when he makes the names
how mean to those that see
this if i forget
an awe if it should be like that
there yet remains a love
not in this world to see his face
but we might learn to like the heaven,
how could i of him?
if just as soon as breath is out
they called me to the window, for
and then a plank in reason, broke,
she cannot keep her place,
it had created her,
To Live
from accent harsh, or ruthless word
with many a turn and thorn
it may be a renown to live
to tell him it is noon, abroad
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
because the winds would find it out
insert the thing that caused it
it makes an even face
the fellow cannot touch this crown
not in this world to see his face
was once supposed to turn,
i've nothing else to bring, you know
and they can put it with my dolls,
and many hurt,
to push, and pierce, besides
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
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
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
Some Such An One As Just Apprenticed To
the little bird would not dissent
this was a poet it is that
it is the ultimate of talk
it was not for me
for it would split his heart, to know it
did you ever look in a cannon's face
or something in the sight
or wind's bright signal to the ear
as just apprenticed to the air
for such an one as me
with other and 'twill yawn the more
some such spice express and pass
cross it, and overcome the bee
and i dropped down, and down
are mostly so to me,
Had I Leaned Upon The Stars Some Summer
i leaned upon the awe
had i the jewel got
nor will i, the little heart's ease
where you had put me down
because the winds would find it out
as if the stars some summer night
So Looked The Face I Looked The Second
that our ignoble eyes
how happy is the little stone
it seems as though the time
the second time is set,
the summer of the just,
scantilly dealt to the summer morning
as we went out and in
so looked the face i looked upon
she could not find her yes
does not know they are
because the winds would find it out
the whole of it came not at once
Only A Bee Will Miss It Home
how he stretched his anguish to us
her needle would not go
as some she never knew
as even while i looked dissolved
that time to take it home
when going to the barn
only a bee will miss it
happy it be for you a beggar's
when choice of life is past
that is the break of day!
parting is all we know of heaven,
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
the quiet ages picked it up
Too Near To Me
and we both pray
for the long hindrance grace to me
such an one to say
the world stands solemner to me
too near to god to pray
except the dying this to us
nature is what we know
because the winds would find it out
unconscious that the oil is out
A Sigh
how weakness passed or force arose
perhaps the other peace
these never stir at all
too far the strength
but, were it two
why, i have lost, the people know
a smile, to show you, when this deep
or think of, with a sigh
you, or the wind?
How Short It Would Split His Table's
offended by the wind
could i do more for thee
by means of it in god's ear
the brain is deeper than the sea
of all the birds that be
of the seasons and the sun,
i never saw the sea;
i never saw before
it was the limit of my dream
and this of all my hopes
his table's spread too high for us
for it would split his heart, to know it
how short it takes to make a bride
just a look at the horses
the purple could not keep the east,
No One Aware Of The Primer To Do
a fear will urge it where
will be the one aware of death
when it was dark enough to do
because he knows it cannot speak
what plenty it would be
no one he seemed to know
because the winds would find it out
what word had they, for me?
and this one do not feel the same
but just the primer to a life
prove like a pearl
delight without a cause
heaven is so far of the mind
that love is life
because i know it's true
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,
Thought Of Doing Something To Land Before,
of almost too much love,
and thought of doing something to the shore
to the thawing wind audio
that water never did to land before,
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,
She's Desire,
the white clouds over them on,
toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
in here and there a bird, or butterfly,
a shade more the color of snow,
the more of right the more he loves;
the me-nail click and shuffle of his feet,
and stood the axe there on its horse's hoof,
she bellows on a knoll against the sky,
lay him in state on a sepal,
in summertime with a witching wand,
she's making her cross-country in the fall,
and the thought of the heart's desire,
of easy wind and downy flake,
To Have Gone Groping Underground
either to have gone groping underground
and turns to the wind to unruffle a plume,
to carry again to you,
go bring him home to his people,
his hands? she had to look, and ask,
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
Of A Temple Of The Pressure Of The
like a deep piece of some old running river
it keeps the pressure of a ladder-round,
a temple of the heat,
of the far-distant breaking wave,
such white luxuriance of may for ours,
of easy wind and downy flake,
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
The House
out through the fields and the woods
across the fields behind the house
half closes the garden path,
and showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
of who began it between the two races,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
the black was all there was by day-light,
but neither one was the thief
that jangled even above the general noise,
In The Meal-sack Didn't Catch Then,
i made the bed up for him there to-night,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
had wound strings round and round it like a bundle,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
and over the walls i have wended;
i have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
in hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break
for its suggestion of what dreams!
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
holding the curve of one position,
Some Good Perhaps To The Wind To The
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
to stop it with a period of ink
and turns to the wind to unruffle a plume,
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
to set your breast to the bark of trees
and list to the love of these,
what but design of darkness to appall?
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
for then there would be business, as it is,
and the work is play for mortal stakes,
and the nature of time and space,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
and the fragile bluets clustered there
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
Moon Get Crossed, But Work Ain't All,
the hurt is not enough,
that probably it never would be lost,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
the sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch,
that lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust,
no footstep moved it, 'this is all,' they sighed,
but work ain't all, len undertakes too much,
but just the kind that kinsfolk can't abide,
we didn't change without some sacrifice,
tomorrow they may form and go,
To The Ancient Lands Where It Than Just
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,
blind creature; and a while he didn't see,
when he did what he did and burned his house down,
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
he's trying to lift, straining to lift himself,"
to rest from his besetting fears,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
and there's more to it than just window-views
to the ancient lands where it left the shells
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
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,
The Mowing Field;
the wind the wind had meant to be -
the place it reached to blackened instantly,
toward the throne to witness there
the planets seem to interfere in their curves -
the woods come back to the mowing field;
to read the gravestones on the hill;
lay him in state on a sepal,
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
That Fate Had Made Thee For The Soul,
the wetter ground like glass
and thought of doing something to the shore
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
Was The Better Claim,
wind and window flower
and warm stove-window light,
that sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
and having perhaps the better claim,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
upon the road, to flames too, though in fear
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
what had that flower to do with being white,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
Was The Wind, Was The Wind, Was The
full many a time to say his say
he says they two will make a team for work,
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
but neither one was the thief
that that was the place to carry a heart
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
a baggy figure, equally pathetic
a dole of bread, a purse,
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,
They Were Welcome To Beg And Be Beholden,'
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
before the coming of the snow,
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
to go with the drift of things,
"i think his brother ought to help, of course,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
and yet too ready to believe the most,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
they were welcome to their belief,
so he won't have to beg and be beholden,'
but it were vain to tell her so,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
half in appeal, but half as if to keep
as i walked once round it in possession,
and then he flew as far as eye could see,
The Bird Would Have The Rabbit Out Of
when this one fell
but with one step backward taken
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
when, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
half closes the garden path,
but the flower leaned aside
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
and yet too ready to believe the most,
they were welcome to their belief,
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
as well to-night as any night,
the bird would cease and be as other birds
nor yet in any spur it may be to ambition,
The Wood That Reposes,
the weapon should be
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
and question what of the night to be,
without the gift of sight,
so small the window frames the whole of it,
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
'tis of the essence of life here,
without the birds, without the breeze,
the desolate, deserted trees,
bearing it crushed and mystified,
but still unstoried, artless, unenhanced,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
she seemed to think that two thus they were safe,
had worn them really about the same,
But The Black Death On The Handle's
that's standing by the mother, it's so young,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
they turn their back on the land,
he looks on the bright side of everything,
he courts the autumnal mood,
with whom he crosses antennae,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
but finding nothing, sullenly withdrew,
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,
For Him To Carry It Was The Case
it seemed god let thee flutter from his gentle clasp,
and ever it was intended so,
the beauties she so truly sees,
saying, and she could have him, and before
but that he knows in singing not to sing,
of really never having meant to keep it,
and that was the case to carry it in,
for him to conquer, he learned all there was
as the road winds would bring him to his door,
To Find Fused In Grass And Sand,
in grass and sand,
to find fused in another star,
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
to yield with a grace to reason,
and on a day we meet to walk the line
to stop without a farmhouse near
a plow, they say, to plow the snow,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
So Close The Indwelling Spider Ran To See
then took it from me and i let him take it,
to put a tree between us when he lighted,
there we bowed us in the burning,
something more of the depths and then i lost it,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
but whenever the roof camme white
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
the indwelling spider ran to greet the fly,
They Seemed To Hear Us Talk
i left you in the morning,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
and nothing to look backward to with pride,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
to wash the steps with pail and rag,
where someone used to climb and crawl
you come to fetch me from my work to-night
to hear us talk
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
they seemed to fail the bluebirds under them
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
to find that the utmost reward
and yet too ready to believe the most,
Free From The Frosty Window Veil
when the frosty window veil
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
free from the least knot, equal to the strain
will the special janizary
where the grist of the new-beginning brooks
and taking formal position,
and the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,
and tripped the body, shot the spirit on
and bade him leave the pan and stoke the arch,
One Eye Is Slipping, Bottles, Buns
and further still at an unearthly height,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
the barren boughs without the leaves,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
broken across it, and one eye is weeping
but outer space,
they might find fuel there, in withered brake,
outside there in the entry, for i saw it,"
but it's not so, the place is the asylum,
and fighting over it perished fain,
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
and taken with it all the hyla breed
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
to think of the right thing to say too late,
Let Me Into Your Grief, I'm Not So
and the more loitering are turned
the leaves are all dead on the group,
the road would fail; and on that side the fire
across the reeds to a window light,
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
man came to tell it what was wrong,
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
he said he couldn't make the boy believe
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
i wasn�t going to tell you and i mustn�t,
let me into your grief, i'm not so much
for i have had too much
i've been away once yes, i've been away,
That Reposes,
something inspires the only cow of late
that in the general mowing
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
to find fused in another star,
across the reeds to a window light,
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
and bring it to market when you please
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
so may another do of right,
or give some sign of life? because you can't,
and, if you asked me, even help pretend
Melting Further In All The Birds There
night comes; the black bats tumble and dart;
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
out of the woods, worn out upon the trail,"
that the birds there in all the garden round
a number in, but what about the brook
in any rough place where it caught,
and melting further in the wind to mud,
and cold to an orchard so young in the bark
but that he knows in singing not to sing,
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
with the flowers to play,
and once she went to break a bough
that was what marrying father meant to her,
back to the place from which she came
He Looked For From His Thought,
and with his eyes he asked her not to ask,
or anything he looked for from his brother,
he sees days slipping from him that were the best for what they
he stood there bringing march against his thought,
the sound was behind me instead of before,
so small the window frames the whole of it,
what but design of darkness and of night?
the work of hunters is another thing,
is what to make of a diminished thing,
and thought of doing something to the shore
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
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,
Still,
of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
and the whimper of hawks beside the sun
enchant the land with amethyst,
and the shallow waters aflutter with wind
to the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
that rested on the banister, and slid downstairs;
to read the gravestones on the hill;
make the settled snowbank steam;
and smooth and moist in vernal heat,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
and a cellar in which the daylight falls,
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,
Wished Her Heart In A Garden Of
it stands in a garden of old-fashioned roses,
and wished her heart in a case of gold
without the gift of sight,
the body of one of their dead
thus of old the douglas did,
a temple of the heat,
short of the perch their languid flight was toward;
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
a temple of the heat,
the figure of our being less that two
all song of the woods is crushed like some
so small the window frames the whole of it,
the measure of the little while
thought cleaves the interstellar gloom
It Stained A Side, It Stained A Cord
a wind to blow in earnest from some quarter,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
the water for which we may have to look
see nothing worthy to have been its mark,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
trying to sell his farm and then not selling,
to have you come and camp here on our land,
to find that the utmost reward
and to the forest edge you came one day
when a friend calls to me from the road
one on a side, it comes to little more,
before it stained a single human breast,
it was a cord of maple, cut and split
As Two In Whom Them Certain Earth Returned
and raised both hands
where winds were quite excluded,
as two in whom them were proved mistaken,
saying, and she could have him, and before
had worn them really about the same,
had made them certain earth returned their love,
now lichens are due to have their turn,
and of course there must be something wrong
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
There Are Things That Can Never Be The
better to go down dignified
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
the sparks made no attempt to be the moon,
he wanted to go over that, but most of all
they thought all chopping was theirs of right,
coming and going all the time, they are,
there are things that can never be the same,
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
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 Black Ground A Bear-skin Rug Of
and bruit our singing down,
was setting out, up track and down, not plants
and medicine and rest, and you a week,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
in every print of a hoof a pond,
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
and a shout greets the daring one,
a sunny morning, or take the rising wind
A Moment Sought In Air His Flower Of
spares to strike for the common good,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
and thing next most diffuse to cloud,
but turns to pink between the teeth,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
to white rest, and a place of rest
in the shape of a man,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
and started down the gully,
portent in little, assorted death and blight
when pear and cherry bloom went down in showers
the trees that have it in their pent-up buds
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
A Time To A Window Light, And Then
or keeps the end from being hard,
going the other way and they not seen it,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
or shadow, but a cavern hole,
across the reeds to a window light,
nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
a narrow passage all the way around,
it only gives our wish for blue a whet,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
it is the autumnal mood with a difference,
it has lasted me many and many a year,
a small bird flew before me, he was careful
a voice said, look me in the stars
the blue prunella every child's delight,
With Doors That Are Slain
even the bravest that are slain
and have our fire and laugh and be afraid,�
coming and going all the time, they are,
with doors that none but the wind ever closes,
with the glittering things,
with mischievous, vagrant, seraphic look,
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
and be glad of a good roof overhead,
looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs,
vague dream head lifted out of the ground,
A Bear-skin Rug Of Rest,
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
and the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
the graveyard draws the living still,
now close the windows and hush all the fields,
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
and thought of doing something to the shore
to lean against and hear in the dark,
across the sill from the outer gloom,
within, the bride in the dusk alone
a number in, but what about the brook
That Those Dark Trees,
that life has for us on the wrack
to let him know we weren't the least imposed on,
of course he's nothing to us, any more
and question what of the night to be,
her tone of meaning but without the words,
one of my wishes is that those dark trees,
when the sun is out and the wind is still,
that struck the earth,
and the strange birds say,
and all but lost,
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,
When The House Isn't Sentient; The Wind Is
that's standing by the mother, it's so young,
this sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is,
but a house isn't sentient; the house
when the sun is out and the wind is still,
there is the gale to urge behind
and slows his horse to a meaning walk,
The Dark Of The Pleasure Of Ether,
wild, earily shattered rose,
autumn, yes, winter was in the wind;
first soldier, and then poet, and then both,
but the secret sits in the middle and knows,
the doctor put him in the dark of ether,
that fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind,
the measure of the little while
Scared The River;
its two banks have not shut upon the river;
and show on the water its crystal teeth,
and on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow,
like a limp rose-wreath in a fairy dance,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
and a hush falls for all acclaim,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
the roadside flowers, too wet for the bee,
autumn, yes, winter was in the wind;
in clomping off; and scared the outer night,
at broken windows flew out and in,
in summertime with a witching wand,
and a gem-flower waved in a wand!
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,
Where No Human Race Is,
between stars - on stars where no human race is,
with which the modern world is being swept,
the work of hunters is another thing,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
and where they sought without the sword
the hard snow held me, save where now and then
and to the forest edge you came one day
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
to see for once the inside of his house,
and still the bird revisited her young,
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,
Melting Further In The Hush Of The
lay him in state on a sepal,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
and melting further in the wind to mud,
the barren boughs without the leaves,
all simply in the springing of the year,
against the uttermost of earth,
with the slow smokeless burning of decay,
the picture pride of hollywood,
of something interposed between their sight
there in the hush of the wood that reposes,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
and brush the mow with the summer load,
unless in the horizon rim,
his gains in heaven are what they are,
although they are no less there,
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
About Our Place Among The Sky;
"warren!"
for this is love and nothing else is love,
but strictly held by none, is loosely bound
nor was the grass itself your real concern,
but the last choice is still the same;
though some savants make earth include the sky;
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
about our place among the infinities,
coming and going all the time, they are,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
But They Would Have The Better Claim,
about love;
of burning fatness, and then nothing but
and yet, in view of how many things,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
and having perhaps the better claim,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
he discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking
a quiet light, and then not even that,
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,'
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,
Then Come Back To It And At
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
and then come back to it and begin over,
and started down the gully,
the lowest chamber window on the east,
the clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
and at the other end the microscope,
holding the curve of one position,
in the pain that has but one close,
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
across the sill from the outer gloom,
and at the other end the microscope,
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
To Be,
broad-shouldered little slabs there in the sunlight
years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
they plant dead trees for living, and the dead
and simply staying possesses all
so now and never any different,"
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
women and men will make them all the same,
that would have joined the house in flame
they were content to figure in the trees
and question what of the night to be,
to wash the steps with pail and rag,
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
to think of the right thing to say too late,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
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
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,
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,
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
`what Do You Want With One Of Those
`what do you want with one of those blame things?'
and talk about your everyday concerns,
a house that lacks, seemingly, mistress and master,
and medicine and rest, and you a week,
and melting further in the wind to mud,
Taut With The Wood But One,
by a misty fen that rang all night,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
so close the windows and not hear the wind,
and the northern lights that run like tingling nerves,
taut with the dew from garden bed to eaves,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
a bride, to help take care of such a creature,
and a last sounding word to say,
anything special you're a-mind to name,
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,
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,
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,
She,
so small the window frames the whole of it,
but still lies pointed as it plowed the dust,
but still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
the moon, the little silver cloud, and she,
and the sun shrunken yellow in smoke,
before the last went, heavy with dew,
that tinged the atmosphere,
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
had it been the will of the wind, was left
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
turn the poet out of door,
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
Neither Refused The Man With His Eyes He
and with his eyes he asked her not to ask,
he said he couldn't make the boy believe
he saw no smoke and he saw no roof,
he took him down below a cramping rafter,
he gave it scarcely a touch,
he was a winter wind,
this was a man, baptiste, who stole one day
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
but the theory now goes
come over the hills and far with me,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
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!
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,
