Poems about word
Could Fear A Door,
that i could fear a door,
and could she, further, "no"?
ah, too, it has a wing,
as i, who testify it
and so and so had been to me,
unless they didn't come
if it had no word,
turn on me when i fail or feign,
i shall not fear mistake
I Could Not Feel The Earth They For
fame of myself to lack although
who knows but at the sight of that
and the earth they tell me
for it would stop my breath
i could not feel the anguish go
i got so i could take his name
i never lost as much but twice,
what word had they for me?
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!
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
Except That You Catch Her Last Refrain
because because if he should die
all this and more if i should tell
if any ask me why
oh, could you catch her last refrain
what word had they, for me?
except that you than he
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
Then There's A Pair Of What Word
and banish me
that man and woman know
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
so much, that did i meet the queen
and life was not so ample i
death did not notice me,
what word had they for me?
bereft i was of what i knew not
you said that i "was great" one day
Sounds Long, Until I Went
where none of us should be,
was once supposed to turn,
sounds long, until i read the place
i'd rather be the one
there is one farther than you
a thrust and then for life a chance
that he'll mistake and ask for me
and so around the words i went
Seems It Had No Word,
i should not fear the foe then
seems it don't shriek so under rule,
that "heaven" is, to me,
if it had no word,
best when it's done,
Sometimes, I Have So Much To Do
that i could fear a door,
i offered her no word
and been myself that easy thing
i have so much to do
i'll tell it you
and told him what i'd like, today,
sometimes, i think that noon
we are far too grand
oh, if i were the gentleman
what word had they, for me?
and be with you tonight!
you'll know it by the row of stars
how pleased they were, at what you said
She Could Not Find Her No
remembering ourselves, we trust
our lord thought no
i offered her no word
still just as easy, if it be thy will
she could not find her yes
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
That Self Were Hell To Those Who Dare
joy to have merited the pain
that self were hell to me
to those who dare to try
and this one do not feel the same
nature is what we know
what word had they, for me?
from what would last till heads like mine
he never saw me in this life
until it showed too small
it will be summer eventually,
Who'd Be The One
and so of larger darkness
if things were opposite and me
who'd be the fool to stay?
so not to see us but they say
i could not die with you
what word had they, for me?
it would be life
a thrust and then for life a chance
life is what we make of it
you would not know it from the drifts
and fear is like the one
is but a province in the being's centre
and settles in the hills
extinguished in the sea
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 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 Be Before
to gain, or be undone
not audible as ours to us
say that a little life for his
to prove it possibler
it suggests to our faith
but were it told to me today
or if it be before
but, looking back the first so seems
and so around the words i went
it was a boundless place to me
supposed that he had come to dwell
myself who bore it do
without a button i could vouch
not yet, our eyes can see
If They Prefer
upon the ignorance steals
nor even of defeat aware
nor confirm by word
if what we could were what we would
are so high up you see
a bird if they prefer
and back it slid and i alone
and so and so had been to me,
and that a further and the three
a passage back or two to make
i was used to the birds before
Could He Seemed To Know They Sought Him
weariness of him, were quainter
but no man heard him cry
no one he seemed to know -
with whom i spoke no word
could he know they sought him
Promise This When Frightened Home To Be Dear
unable they that love to die
and the earth they tell me
when frightened home to thee i run
just to be poor for barefoot vision
to know just how he suffered would be dear
neither place need i present him
so he let me lead him in
what word had they for me?
for they've never gone
promise this when you be dying
and wishes had he any
and how if he be dead
were all that i could see
Not Enough For Me?
let me not shame their sublime deportments
what word had they for me?
not if to talk with me
unable they that love to die
and heaven not enough for me
precious to me she still shall be
i'd give her
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
i cannot tell the sum,
I Went
we dream it is good we are dreaming
i could not hope for mine
because i could not stop for death,
i could suffice for him, i knew
for fear i hear her say
i pondered how the bliss would look
and so around the words i went
and there is another sunshine,
and a deal of sad reflection, and wailing instead of song?
my business, just a life i left,
a mountain in my mind
this place is bliss this town is heaven
Insert The "children" There Won't Be "new Fashioned"
insert the thing that caused it
i hope the "children" there won't be "new fashioned" when i come
to think just how the fire will burn
because because if he should die
how well i knew the light before
yet now i know how the heather looks,
what word had they, for me?
i did not know the year then
as some she never knew
As If It Split
'tis true they shut me in the cold
that something it did do or dare
trying if it split
came once a world did you?
what word had they for me?
did not talk of returning!
but, were it two
as if the house were his
neither place need i present him
i'll hand it to the angel
what i see not, i better see
That I Spoil My Life
for fear i spoil my shoe?
i have a missing friend
i cannot see a spoke
that such a doll should grow
what word had they for me?
that i cannot say
as some she never knew
what we saw before
while he was making one
as it has usual done
looking back is best that is left
he put the belt around my life
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
Mind You, I's Tranger, I's Tranger,
'stranger, i wish i knew,'
i 'spose i've got to go the road i'm going,
i found that wing broken today!
mind you, i waited till len said the word,
i have been one acquainted with the night,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
For The Root,
next to nothing for use,
used these unscrupulously to bring me
to seek the brook if still it ran;
and bring it to market when you please
spares to strike for the common good,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
and having perhaps the better claim,
behind light words that tease and flout,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
To Lean Against And The Saw,
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
the petal of the rose
and in the morning glow,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
to see for once the inside of his house,
the heart he bore to the holy land,
that water never did to land before,
and that was the case to carry it in,
to lean against and hear in the dark,
to tell them "supper,"at the word, the saw,
to fill the trees with another shade,
or that showed with the lapse of time to vain
Where They Sought Without Twice Thinking, Where
and where they sought without the sword
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
the farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
of course they had to feed him without dishes,
with shouts afar to pull the cable taught,
grim giving to do over for them both,
by leaving them to flourish, not for us,
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
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,
A Child At Heart
doing a man's work, though a child at heart
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
and ever it was intended so,
by measure, it was word and note,
nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
and in conjunction giving quite a spread,
in summertime with a witching wand,
a temple of the heat,
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
with only strength of the fighting arm
before the age of the fern;
the disappearing last of him
The Singer Recalling
of things of moment to which, they wist,
'a word with you, that of the singer recalling
this is the word of your queen,"
the fen had every kind of bloom,
than the merest aimless breath of air,
making the gravel leap and leap in air,
through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
The Shade Of Woods Only And Me,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
around him to look after that make waste,
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
the heart is still aching to seek,
to tell them "supper,"at the word, the saw,
they take advantage of him shamefully,
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
with the breath of many flowers,
not of woods only and the shade of trees,
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
They Were Content To Bear A Heart To
they were content to figure in the trees
the meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
with straining in the world's embrace,
we dance round in a ring and suppose,
and sweeping round it with a flaming sword,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
give a heart to the hopeless fight,
as it ran light, or had to bear a load,
Sweeping Round It With A Sound Beside
my sash is lowered when night comes on;
some sympathy was wasted on the house,
and work was little in the house,
the well was dry beside the door,
and a cold chill shivered across the lake,
and sweeping round it with a flaming sword,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
but upsilon which is the greek for you,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
for what they�d better wait till we have done,
i don't learn what their names are, let alone
i'll sit and see if that small sailing cloud
and sorry i could not travel both
Yet, What Was That Was That Reckless
behind light words that tease and flout,
and living people, and things they understand,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
a brook to none but who remember long,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
and long to know if still i held them dear,
for the least sin, it wouldn't take us long
what should that reckless zephyr fling
how no one dead will seem to come,
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
next to nothing for weight,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
to leap the dusty deadline, for my own
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,
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
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
I'm Going Out To You And Thing Next
i'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
i'd like to go by climbing a birch tree,
change like this to a deeper roar?
to tell them "supper,"at the word, the saw,
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
and thing next most diffuse to cloud,
That At Such A Time!
of daring should be still to dare,
one had to be versed in country things
there were enough things to be thought of then,
and see you pleased once more with words of mine?
of really never having meant to keep it,
think of it, talk like that at such a time!
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
vague dream head lifted out of the ground,
and that was what the boughs were full of soon,
He Resolves To Become Intelligible, At Least To
we suffer them by the day
when they were halted by a tumbled wall
too dark in the woods for a bird
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
and a last sounding word to say,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
To White Rest, And A Last Sounding Word
and spread her apron to it, she put out her hand
and still the bird revisited her young,
and caught me splitting wood in the yard,
the life from spilling, then the boy saw all
across the sill from the outer gloom,
to white rest, and a place of rest
one on a side, it comes to little more,
then there were three there, making a dim row,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
spares to strike for the common good,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
almost like a call to come in
and a last sounding word to say,
he hates to see a boy the fool of books,
Where His Job, When He Loves;
she let him look, sure that he wouldn't see,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play
where his job, when he wasn't selling tickets,
in time, had she not realized her danger
the sound was behind me instead of before,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
a sort of catch-all full of attic clutter,
more blameless in the sense of being less
the more of right the more he loves;
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
the mower in the dew had loved them thus,
yet for them the lilac renewed its leaf,
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,
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,
Than I Could Do Like You,
i leaned on my head
than i can raise my voice or want to lift
i saved myself from going,
i almost think if i could do like you,
i doubted if i should ever come back,
word i had no one left but god,
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,
That Tinged The Wood But One,
so at a knock
and sweeping round it with a flaming sword,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
that tinged the atmosphere,
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,
The Least Stiffening Of Bending Like A Daunting
reflects a standing gull
but in a moment not, a little spurt
on every tree a bucket with a lid,
and turned on him with such a daunting look,
of bending like a sword across the knee,
the light of heaven falls whole and white
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
I Was Just As The Color Of The
i was just as the light was beginning to fail
there is the gale to urge behind
seems to me owes it to the town to keep one,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to this lean feeding save once a year
is what to make of a diminished thing,
with a houseful of hungry men to feed
and wished her heart in a case of gold
something inspires the only cow of late
a shade more the color of snow,
like a white piece of rigid satin cloth
a tree beside the wall stands bare,
'a word with you, that of the singer recalling
Where They Sought Without The Interstellar Gloom
in winter he comes back to us, i'm done,"
for them there was really nothing sad,
where the flower was before it grew,
thought cleaves the interstellar gloom
has dried the dew and all its ropes relent,
and where they sought without the sword
and left defenseless to the heat and light,
where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs
with shouts afar to pull the cable taught,
nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
to view once more the sacrifice
to whoever the knock
he might prefer to say to him disarmed,
If I May Recall It,
she had to ask, "what was it, dear?"
"just that i see,"
mind you, i waited till len said the word,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
whether i am glad, sorry, or anything,
if i ever read it,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
nothing so new�something we had forgotten,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
no more to build on there, and they, since they
to seek the happy isles together,
that would be good both going and coming back,
though it still could sing,
A Quiverful To Make Pretense
a quiverful to choose from, since he wished me
and say no word to tell me who he was
he will not see me stopping here
man came to tell it what was wrong,
and the sweet pang it cost me not to call
and spread her apron to it, she put out her hand
and checked my steps to make pretense
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,
The Sword
to seek the brook if still it ran;
and to know definitely what he thinks about the soul;
and there his courage could not endure
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
the victory for what it lost and gained,
and living people, and things they understand,
and where they sought without the sword
and the strange birds say,
One Back And Stopped The Stiffness Out Of
but now he brushed the shavings from his knee
he never found her, though he looked
only to lose it when he pirouettes,
and then he'd crow as if he thought that child's play
and he likes having thought of it so well
i have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
until he took the stiffness out of them,
and where they sought without the sword
the birds that came to it through the air
that slowly dawned behind the trees,
deeper down in the well than where the water
one back and forward, in and out of shadow,
with straining in the world's embrace,
and fixity in our joys,
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
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,
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,
It Blow But That You Saw The Sword
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
and where they sought without the sword
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
and fighting over it perished fain,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
To Go There,
it seems forever
she took a doubtful step and then undid it
before it stained a single human breast,
loud, a mid-summer and a mid-wood bird,
warren leaned out and took a step or two,
a farm, a countryside, or if he can,
or so the story goes, it was some girl,
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
the question that he frames in all but words
and where they sought without the sword
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
and that was the case to carry it in,
Left No Trace But Stars And Weary,
with none among them that ever sings,
further o�erhead than all but stars and angels,�
and left no trace but the cellar walls,
and where they sought without the sword
and weary, sought at noon with him the shade;
and set herself back where she, started from,
as she flings over and off down through the maples,
the white clouds over them on,
the sound was behind me instead of before,
To A Slope Where The View Was All
and make us happy in the darting bird
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
then word goes forth in formic,
though there's small profit in comparisons,
one foot went down, the view was all in lines
at a star quaking in the other end,
Wait To The Water Clear, I May,
his working days are done; i'm sure of it,"
but nothing ever happens, no harm is done,
but before one is in it, their minds are turned
a flower unplucked is but left to the falling,
at one stroke of a match, brad had to turn
and a last sounding word to say,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
and would have turned to toss the grass to dry;
