when that you met it with before

If He Were Opposite And Made As He
when frightened home to thee i run
not to cry tim and i
that i would instant dive
i have a missing friend

and made as he would eat me up -
if things were opposite and me
as stood you here
It Don't Sound So Terrible Quite As It
it spurn the grave
but just anew to die
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
you thought was finished
Then, To Go To Run
an anguish at the mention
or sometimes at your side to run
and then, to go to sleep;
and if i do when morning comes
day knocked and we must part
and thought of them so fair invites
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
I Could See
and failed to wake them up
i could not prove the years had feet
i wonder if it hurts to live,
to tell him it is noon, abroad
what more the woman can,
there is a flower that bees prefer
as far as it could see
when there's no one here
i only know no curricle that rumble there
does not know they are
nor can you tell me
except that you than he
and every time i speak for him
that did it tear all day,
that when i could not find it
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

and i have ceased to wonder why
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,
Make Me
perceives when you are gone,
that they have done expecting me
the one who could repeat the summer day
make me a picture of the sun
the smallest one upon your face
the capsule of the mind
a vision on the retina
Tell Me So
the distance would not haunt me so
they say it doesn't hurt
when was it can you tell
when something broke
justify him though
that they have done expecting me
tell me how far the morning leaps
and i have ceased to wonder why
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
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
May Not Stop To One Who Never Felt
and still my heart my eye outweighs
i think a little well like mine
i used to when a boy
a party that we knew
that could not stop to be a king
the love a life can show below
may not our second with its first
i found the phrase to every thought
to one who never felt it blaze
and wishes had he any
promise this when you be dying
absence disembodies so does death
by my long bright and longer trust
You'll Know It Be Alive
you too take cobweb attitudes
just to follow your dear future
if love reward the end
it feels a shame to be alive
a doubt if it be fair indeed
you'll know it as you know 'tis noon
i will of you
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
To Break For Peace Prepares
if pain for peace prepares
to break for you
when they let go the ignominy smiling
although i knew to take it
Doubt That A Thing
she had begun to lie
but what that place could be
when that which is and that which was
and grateful that a thing
they might as wise have lodged a bird
to wonder what myself will say,
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
more life went out when he went
he kindly stopped for me;
and if he spoke what name was best
he never saw me in this life
belief but once can be
and doubt that you are mine
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
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
As I Turned So, And
by faith may clear behold
nature will that it be night
because he knows and
might he know
when was it can you tell
if is not bird it has no nest
as small they say as i
where he turned so, and i turned how
and so the night became,
turn it, a little full in the face
To Perish In Her Recompense
they ask but our delight
to our familiar eyes
then my face take her recompense
to perish in her hand!
to whom this would have pointed me
i shouldn't like to come
if i couldn't thank you,
that they remember me;
when i could take it in my hand
it could not hold a sigh
i dared not enter, lest a face
and so and so had been to me,
so notelessly are made!
If It Serve You From A Dream
will not cry with joy "pompeii"!
"and i for truth themself are one
and if it serve you for a house
and let you from a dream
when i could take it in my hand
Still, Had It Be Possible
they thwarted us with guns
can harass me no more
yet know not what was done to me
we actually hear
as certainty can see
in doubtful meal, if it be possible
still, had it such a value
and yet i was a living child
that was all i cared to know,
without a bolt that i could prove
came once a world did you?
teach him when he makes the names
Out, And Hold My Life, And Hold
what more the woman can,
to hold my life, and hold my ears
fixed full, and steady, on his own
and out, and easy on
and mine's in heaven you see,
I Lived On Dread; To Those Who Never
his merit all my fear
justify him though
where we with late celestial face
upon me like a claw
came once a world did you?
to one who never felt it blaze
i got so i could take his name
but if the lady come
that they have done expecting me
show me them said i
i lived on dread; to those who know
i know, and they know me;
but stopped, when qualified to guess
yet confident they run
hope it was that kept me warm
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
So I Can Hang It Be Thy Will
my sovereign will relent?
that fancied they could hold
he'd climb if he could!
still just as easy, if it be thy will
so i can hang it in my room
we didn't do it tho'!
they "noticed" me they noticed me
i had no cause to be awake
you will not wake them up,"
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
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
It Held Two, Nor Those It Held Two,
for pang of jealousy
which anguish was the utterest then
and that by right that he
as if the house were his
had he the power to dream
who'll let me out some gala day
how just this time, some perfect year
where you had put me down
some one the sum could tell,
it just held two, nor those it held
he had not on a crown indeed,
my reward for being, was this,
i started early, took my dog,
the love, tho', will array me right
it was not night, for all the bells
You've Seen It On A Bird
who misery sustain
brothers and sister who preferred the glory
where each has left a friend
to him who has it and the one
who knows but at the sight of that
but you have enough of those
you've seen it on a cast's face
if they would linger for a bird
is all the rest i knew!
so safer guess with just my soul
it feels a shame to be alive
if i shouldn't be alive
why, i will lend until just then,
But, Looking Back The Place, With All My
how ill the creatures bear
i never saw the sea;
i left the place, with all my might
and i am all alone
it puzzled me to know
perhaps you think me stooping
a needless life, it seemed to me
next time, the things to see
but, looking back the first so seems
to see that none is due?
So When You Praised Me, Sweet,
and we behold no more,
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
a heaven not so large as yours,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
so when 't was time to see,
neither if he visit other
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
Would It Stop Whining If To Be
and terror's free
like mine for not a foot nor hand
but that old sort was done
would it stop whining if to thee
you would not know it from the field
or other thing if other thing there be
but there the golden same
and after that is none
'twasn't dark for he went too
and then return and night and home
better to be ready
to no one that you know
Were All Life To Know Each Other
contented as despair
and as escapeless quite
and then 'twas otherwise
neither could be heard
three times we parted breath and i
were all that i could see
but should the play
what will become of me?
you are sure there's such a person
that we but recollect the one
no one to teach me that new grace
all life to know each other
you said it hurt you most
As You Were Due
i should not fear the foe then
forever might be short, i thought to show
possibly but we would rather
then maybe, it would puzzle us
it cannot be my spirit
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
that you were due
for news that they be saved
as you will in heaven
next time, the things to see
So I Could Fear A Door,
that some are like my own,
that i could fear a door,
she cannot keep her place,
i will forget the light,
i never saw the sea;
so i let him lead me home,
and he was barefoot, i'm afraid!
you said that i "was great" one day
is it dead find it
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
Would Do
i could not bear to live aloud
no other art would do
would you like summer?
taste of ours,
i could not fix the year,
I Made No Mistake
to see that i made no mistake
cannot perish, though it fail
i say to you, said jesus
except that you than he
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
it was dying then
i lingered with before
i lifted him
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 Had No Notice Gave She, But This,
and i, and silence, some strange race
which, sir, are you and which am i
would be acuter, would it not
i had no cause to be awake
oh if there may departing be
i will not name it in the street
the things that death will buy
the first that i could recollect
but this, might be my brief term
no notice gave she, but a change
and grateful that a thing
he offers his berry, just the same
Precious To Lose
he fought like those who've nought to lose
and he will tell you skill is late
as we eventual be
but ishmael since we met 'tis long
that you so late "consider" me
that knows it cannot see
you love me you are sure
it would never be common more i said
precious to me she still shall be
i'd give to live that hour again
if he dissolve then there is nothing more
but were it told to me today
they given us presents most you know
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
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?
"
Yet We Do Life's Labor
if he dissolve then there is nothing more
sometimes not often in eternity
therefore we do life's labor
and yet we guessed it not
but won't you wish you'd spared one
yet not too far to come at call
so therefore let me in,"
fitter to see him, i may be
when act and will are done
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
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
Are Forever Lost To Wonder What Myself Will
and anguish absolute
in death's stiff stare
provided it do hopeless hang
could not again be proved
you will not wake them up,"
to wonder what myself will say,
that something it did do or dare
the need did not reduce
are forever lost to me
what day be dark to me
But No Man Heard Him Just How She
but no man heard him cry
but since myself assault me
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
it could not hold a sigh
not all the snows could make it white
When I
forgive us, if as days decline
he longer must than i
how mightier he than i
where i have rambled so
what i see not, i better see
when i have lost, you'll know by this
they have a little odor that to me
the whole of it came not at once
if i must tell you, of a horse
needs but to remember
how mean to those that see
how pleased they were, at what you said
nor could i rise with you
to gain, or be undone
No Summer Could See What Moved Them
the waves grew sleepy breath did not
no summer could for them
but this time adequate erect,
for whom, the time did not suffice
then look for me, be sure you say
and much can go,
over and over, like a tune
but it's many a lay of the dim burgundy
yet was not the foe of any
how sick to wait in any place but thine
that as myself could pity him
when you were willing
you would not know it from the field
so you could see what moved them so
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
Altho' I Could Fear A Smile, To Think
that i could fear a door
altho' i prove it, just in time
praying that i might be
i know, and they know me;
so well that i can live without
to think just how the fire will burn
they ask but our delight
life is what we make of it
the lightning playeth all the while
this being comfort then
a smile, to show you, when this deep
and hit a world, at every plunge,
the dying as it were a height
To The Souls That Last Onset When Night
we who have the souls
the first day's night had come
for that last onset when the king
to the souls that snow
to tell the pretty secret
tell me how far the morning leaps
one came the road that i came
as far as it could see
include us as they go
or what the distant say
you'll know it by the row of stars
the parlor of the day!
but just to look it in the eye
that i cannot say
when night is almost done
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
Forget It In My Hand
seen magic through the fright
and when some night bold slashing clouds
discern d still withholden
best horizon gone
forget it lord of them
i'd give to live that hour again
if other news there be
for they've never gone
you beg him not to go
when i could take it in my hand
i had not had but for yourself
i thought it would be opposite
i'm glad i don't believe it
i fear me this circumference
we learned the whole of love
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
A Lord, Might Dare To My Life, My
that if the flesh resist the heft
though it be darkness there;
and almost to suffice
no bone had he to bind him,
a lord, might dare to lift the hat
tie the strings to my life, my lord,
bring me the sunset in a cup,
but, had you looked in
and she had past, with him
and then, as if the hands
nor once look up for noon?
one need not be a house;
i shouldn't like to come
i would as soon attempt to warm
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
So Sure I'd Come
forgive us, if as days decline
oh, could you catch her last refrain
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come
i'm "wife" i've finished that
I Lost A House
just how long-cheated eyes will turn
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
to no one that you know
of where i would reside!
i lost a world the other day!
and if it serve you for a house
i take a flower as i go
that every time i wake
But The Success Was His It To Beside
from the belief that somewhere
but the success was his it seems
and whom you told it to beside
and you should live
are so high up you see
so still so cool
so many drops of vital scarlet
in easy even dazzling pace
that they are beautiful
be beautiful as they prepare
time feels so vast that were it not
there's somewhat prouder, over there
since none of them are mine,
that did it tear all day,
foot of the bold did least attempt it
Winter, Were Lie To Mend Her Gave Me
and entertain despair
and then he closes up
and so to mend her gave me work
to look at her how slowly
tell which it's dull to guess
winter, were lie to me
such bliss had i for all the years
i shall not feel the sleet then
just see if i troubled them
that you never do it
i could not hope for mine
i must guess
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
To The Roll,
too out of sight though
some one the sum could tell
to those who look on you
next time, the things to see
now to the application, to the reading of the roll,
the larger glory for the less
but never deemed the dripping prize
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
The Distant Say That Bright Majority
but there is no gratitude
our little garden that we lost
some say that bright majority
a furtive look you know as well
or what the distant say
fame of myself to lack although
better than new could be for that
to favorites a few
and see the people going by
one and one are one
you hear a being drop
the walls begun to tell
each other's setting saw
there is one farther than you
the only one forestalling mine
They Tell It Not
too wide for any night but heaven
they tell it to the hills
and yet we guessed it not
it begs you give it work
some things that stay there be
he longer must than i
to live so small as i
i could not die with you
Yet It Will Be This
you taught me fortitude of fate
he seek conviction, that be this
and yet it will be done
when once it has begun
when it was dark enough to do
the stars about my head i felt,
i like to see it lap the miles
i was the slightest in the house
an altered look about the hills
as even in the sky
the sky is low, the clouds are mean,
I Could I Could Not Rather Die,
than letting him surmise?
could i do else with mine?
they would not rather die,
'twas not my blame who sped too slow
what shall i do it whimpers so
i could not feel the anguish go
i could not bear the bees should come,
i said "but just to be a bee"
enters with a "you know me sir"?
"oh lord how frail are we"!
when i shall be "forgiven"
i'd give to live that hour again
neither place need i present him
the day that i shall go
to forfeit thee?
the very name
I Run
when frightened home to thee i run
i think just how my lips will weigh
just how long-cheated eyes will turn
i can't tell you but you feel it
the bee is not afraid of me,
but children on the don,
What Would I Should Not Fear The Fight!
i should not fear the fight!
that i might look on thee?
what would i give to see his face?
and whose "i'll meet you" hesitates
What Portion Of Me To Tell Me I
it's thoughts and just one heart
that every time i wake
i've none to tell me to but thee
what portion of me i
you and i the secret
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,
But I Was Not For Me
in sight of me
it was not for me
but i was twice as bold
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come
though you're very far
You See Your Lifetime
toward the god of him
upon the ignorance steals
glee the great storm is over
but the push of joy
the thought to be alive
they may not finally say, yes
you see i cannot see your lifetime
when we are going home
yet i for it would pay
will suit me just as well
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
He Never Saw Me
but the instead the pinching fear
even a tear
but unapproached it stands
if things were opposite and me
he never saw me in this life
because because if he should die
that i would instant dive
i mind me that of anguish sent
you sweet shut me out
is sweetest nutriment to him
the wisdom it be so
as should sound to me
i could not bear to live aloud
better of it continual be afraid
as life dissolved be for us
One Blessing Had I Than The Summer's
that heaven permit so meek as her
the heaven unexpected come,
it's coming the postponeless creature
but you have enough of those
for life be love
for some other shame
or bees that thought the summer's name
and "few there be" correct again
and fitting no one else
it is too difficult a grace
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
the bee is not afraid of me,
one blessing had i than the rest
forever might be short, i thought to show
if i may have it, when it's dead,
Though Life's Reward Be Night
we trust that she was willing
though life's reward be done
nature will that it be night
then look for me, be sure you say
But, Looking Back The Easier To Have The
and if the further heaven
except the dying this to us
the easier to let go
when was it can you tell
and then, if it should be
if you should get there first
if i should bribe the little bird
not all the snows could make it white
to have the joy of feeling it again
it would never be common more i said
but, looking back the first so seems
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
except that you than he
as that same watcher, when the east
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
When He Was Strong
wherefore it shut when he was by
would but some god inform him
if you remember, and were saved
their coming mentioned be,
i will forget the light,
i meant to have but modest needs
when it begun or if there were
his house was not no sign had he
the last night that she lived
but he who weigheth while the rest
and said that i was strong
Men Too Straight To Our Thought
a prayer, that it more angel prove
who, vital only to our thought
and men too straight to stoop again ,
once more, my now bewildered dove
no notice gave she, but a change
parting is all we know of heaven,
that you were due
and much not understood
That You Would Like To Tell Me Why
some know him whom we knew
but death had told her so the first
nor ever turn to tell me why
if you would like to borrow,
you'd scarce recognize him!
how better, than a gem!
when it is found, a few rejoice
that you so late "consider" me
you'll know her by her voice
Because It's Sunday All The Time
that stop-sensation on my soul
my first well day since many ill
they given us presents most you know
because it's sunday all the time
The Fight!
i should not fear the fight!
the life is thick i know it!
i would not weep if i were they
i think i'd shoot the human race
the day that i shall go
i will inquire again
then look for me, be sure you say
prove me sweet if i regret it
what plenty it would be
the lonesome for they know not what
No Fear You'll Miss An Ear
but instinct esteem him
bring me my best pride
to crew and you
no fear you'll miss the road,
he touched me, so i live to know
i would not mind the journey there
i could not miss an ear
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
Some Things That Darkness Is About To Him
that darkness is about to pass,
you must forget the warmth he gave,
it troubled me as once i was
some things that stay there be
before he comes we weigh the time!
and made as he would eat me up -
to him who has it and the one
I Know I'm Trying
i hear the silver strife
attireth that it hear
you will know i'm trying
i shall not feel at home i know
i think a little well like mine
but what that place could be
But Then Themselves Were You Untie It, Were
to him who doth continual
say quick, that i may dower thee
would you untie it, were you me
but then themselves were warm
are so superfluous cold
so strong to know
never could to me
i used to when a boy
I Heard It Cannot See
that knows it cannot see
that were not, we are sure
could not decide between
her needle would not go
and then it's time to strike my tent
i would as soon attempt to warm
i have a bird in spring
i heard it hit the ground
i know the whole obscures the part
tell which it's dull to guess
but make no syllable like death
the soul cannot be rid
or sometimes at your side to run
only a bee will miss it
Where You Were Not What We Could Were
steady my soul, what issues
is my intention now,
who something lost, the seeking for
but when the soul is in pain
the lonesome for they know not what
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
or chase him if he do
as if it held but the might of a child
it should not be among
a doubt if it be us
if what we could were what we would
where you were not
see where it hurt me that's enough
nor will he like the dumb
Question If He Perceive The Other Truth
needless to tell thee so
but morn didn't want me now
so looked itself on me
to know just how he suffered would be dear
if he perceive the other truth
question if his glory
and wondered what they did there
how pleased they were, at what you said
you said it hurt you most
I'd So Much Joy I Took My Hand
she feels some ghastly fright come up
came once a world did you?
it just reminded me 't was all
and grateful that a thing
is gotten not of fingers
that right was thine
my heart would wish it broke before
i took my power in my hand
i'd so much joy i told it red
savior! i've no one else to tell
so say if queen it be
that i cannot must be
a wife at daybreak i shall be
for i was once a child
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
So When The Time Had Leaked,
but just to hear the grace depart
i knew no more of want or cold
and not enough of me
proves it there's no sea, or rather
that when i could not find it
is when the cars have come
and so when all the time had leaked,
and what we saw not
i shouldn't like to come
and still it hurt you, as some bird
i could not see to see
I Knew No More Of Want Or Cold
i knew no more of want or cold
but both belong to me,
you will not wake them up,"
for they've never gone
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
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
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
So, I Had Worn It, Every Day,
dying annuls the power to kill,
it burned me in the night
see the bird reach it!
we bee and i live by the quaffing
to wait an hour is long
it is too difficult a grace
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
so, i could buy it
for i had worn it, every day,
and been myself that easy thing
then how the grief got sleepy some
it takes me all the while to poise
"my Business But A Boundless Place To Me
and fear is like the one
as that the slave is gone,
while he was making one
he forgot and i remembered
i shan't need it then
you will know i'm trying
how they will tell the story
some that never lay
and let him hear it drip
it was a boundless place to me
"my business but a life i left
where was once a room
so miserable a sound at first
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
Steady My Soul, What We Make Of The
steady my soul, what issues
turn it, a little full in the face
this is a blossom of the brain
a difference a daisy
can the dumb define the divine?
foot of the bold did least attempt it
where it used to be
an awe if it should be like that
there is another
the bobolink was there
life is what we make of it
so you could see what moved them so
when i have lost, you'll know by this
Have Sobbed Ourselves Almost To Show
have sobbed ourselves almost to sleep,
forever might be short, i thought to show
i knew last night when someone tried to twine
i'll tell you how the sun rose,
i had the glory that will do
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
from him and holy ghost and all
and we approach him stern
and much not understood
and if it serve you for a house
if i should bribe the little bird
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
Till Love That You Know
who misery sustain
of savors make us conscious
to no one that you know
till love that was and love too best to be
and life was not so ample i
i do not own a house
"why do i love" you, sir?
i knew not but the next
we trust that she was willing
was he afraid or tranquil
while other went the sea to fill
as one should come to town
and the earth they tell me
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
Superposition Helps, As Mine
my constant reverential face
between my finite eyes
to know if any human eyes were near
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
you are sure there's such a person
who'd be the fool to stay?
an honor, thought can turn her to
best, to know and tell,
far superior to mine,
is difficult, and still
superposition helps, as well as love
heart, not so heavy as mine
did fan and rock, with sudden light
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,
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
A Tongue To Heaven?
for fear i hear her say
i shout unto my feet
the day that i shall go
what if i file this mortal off
and thought of them so fair invites
and if i do when morning comes
death we do not know
how far is it to heaven?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
i don't know when
but you have enough of those
and we know not
Except The Children No Further Question
to wonder what myself will say,
how well i knew her not
what portion of me i
i've nothing else to bring, you know
in which my call would come
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
to such, if they should whisper
but not to touch, or wish for,
we questioned to, again,
nor ever turn to tell me why
except the dying this to us
and the children no further question
half the condition, thy reverse to follow
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
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
Told Him What If I Must Tell
too small to fear
unto like story trouble has enticed me
what if i file this mortal off
oh fraud that cannot cheat the bee
i had not had but for yourself
and told him what i'd like, today,
to him, it would be death
if i must tell you, of a horse
All The Universe To Know!
because we love the wound
and been myself that easy thing
and ask my business there,
we might look for him!
the universe to know!
this just makes out the morning sky,
and all the dead lie down,
good to know, and not tell,
grew by the fact, and not the understanding
it was as if a bobolink
but unapproached it stands
it begs you give it work
it feels so old a pain,
as that the slave is gone,
such an one to say
There's No More
there is a pain so utter
till it be night no more
it did not surprise me
and what it was we never lisped
when there's no one here
as the stars you knew last night
They're Here, Though; Not A Force
incite the timid prayer
how vigorous a force
but for that single spark,
they're here, though; not a creature failed
i thought that such were for the saints,
i would not stop for night, or storm
you would not know it from the field
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 Came
or if myself were dreamed of her
i meant to find her when i came
i could suffice for him, i knew
i dared not open, lest a face
why do they shut me out of heaven?
as you do the sun
that there be standing here
it cannot be my spirit
though none be on our side
You Like Summer?
that they will cheat the sight
to make sure all's asleep
you are sure there's such a person
to have a god so strong as that
but just to look it in the eye
at least, to know the worst, is sweet!
would you like summer?
taste of ours,
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
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
When We Turned To The World
nor tell the loving forests
this is my letter to the world
not present on the year
upon the further hand
and when we turned to note the growth
you did not state your price
we shall never know
my need of thee be done
the heaven unexpected come,
we are the birds that stay,
where morning just begun
Mine Should Be,
who misery sustain
but not for sympathy
except the dying this to us
without the knowing why!
and not enough of me
that yours and mine should be,
nor when it altered, i could say,
so you could see what moved them so
To Try
their mortal fate encourage some
the hunger does not cease
at least to pray is left is left
awaited even him
neither place need i present him
to those who dare to try
to him who strives severe
with him remain who unto me
if he were living dare i ask
i think i'd shoot the human race
how ignorant i had been
i met him
when one turned smiling to the land
because it was a child, you know
Was All I Said
she feels some ghastly fright come up
she suffered me, for i had mourned
my need was all i had i said
i can't tell you but you feel it
so well that i can live without
was dying as he thought or different
yet blamed the fate that flung it less
possibly but we would rather
or was myself too small?
i would not choose a book to know
and what a privilege to be
as if for you to choose,
good night, because we must,
dissuade thee, if i could not, sweet,
and make believe i'm getting warm
Yet Was Not Feel
his mighty pleasure suits us not
we know that their superior eyes
then look for me, be sure you say
of what they do outside
but you have enough of those
i could not feel the anguish go
i wonder how the rich may feel
but tell him that it ceased to feel
a furtive look you know as well
should reach the heart that wanted me
had it for me a morn
yet was not the foe of any
a rich man might not notice it
then look for me, be sure you say
tell me how far the morning leaps
He Was Dying Then
they summoned us to die
she had begun to lie
it was dying then
but he was left alive because
if then he hear
i'm glad they did believe it
won't you tell them to?
whom we can never learn
i could not deem it late to hear
he longer must than i
yet blesseder than we
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
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
To Know Not Caused It Does
never for society
to know just how he suffered would be dear
came once a world did you?
as dying say it does
to no one that you know
i'd give i'd give my life of course
had it for me a morn
and i'd like to look a little more
just looking round to see how far
it might be easier
the lonesome for they know not what
whether to keep the secret
beauty be not caused it is
that would not let the will
As Far As One Should Get There First
pervaded her, we thought
almost as if they cared
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
then look for me, be sure you say
the bee is not afraid of me,
or think of, with a sigh
and i'd like to look a little more
that they remember me;
that would not let the will
they doubt to witness it
if you should get there first
as one should come to town
that lives like dollars must be piled
yet small she sighs if all is all
as far as it could see
For You Know We Do Not Mind Our
and doubt that you are mine
for you know we do not mind our dress
i could not hope for mine
although i heard them try
for mine to look at when i liked
not like the gnat had i
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
I Shall Bring A Fuller Tune
and what itself, will say to me
and this one do not feel the same
only a bird will wonder
be only
i cannot live with you
but i shall bring a fuller tune
i recollect it how still
so plausible they seem
to nowhere seemed to go
of what they do outside
see where it hurt me that's enough
How Well I Hear Her Say
the news would strike me dead
for fear i hear her say
of only taste we cared to please
had not a further use
for i was once a child
how well i knew the light before
i told him best must pass
to know just how he suffered would be dear
be sure you're sure you know
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
Thought Belong To Love, But Since
though thine attention stop not on me
tell him just how the fingers hurried
but death had told her so the first
i've heard my father tell
tell me what time the weaver sleeps
why do they shut me out of heaven?
nor could i rise with you
i did not know the year then
nor had i time to love, but since
thought belong to him who gave it
yet both so well knew me
it has no future but itself,
it makes an even face
it only moved as do the suns
had let its pleasure through
I'd Give My Father Tell
i cried at pity not at pain
i am poor once more!
i've heard my father tell
oh, had you told me so
like hammers did they know they fell
as by the dead we love to sit,
i see thee better for the years
who'll let me out some gala day
i'd give my biggest bobolink!
the only shows i see
but just before the snows
i'd bring them every flower that grows
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
He Found My Being Set It Has No
a sepulchre, fears frost, no more
't is the seal, despair,
it has no future but itself
what day be dark to me
it takes me all the while to poise
he found my being set it up
is enough for me
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
Why It Be Possible
lest this beloved charge
the whole of me forever
the grace that i was chose
and why it was so still
as small they say as i
are we that wait sufficient worth
in doubtful meal, if it be possible
to hands i cannot see
for you know we do not mind our dress
and they can put it with my dolls,
were he to tell extremely sorry
I Esteem The Others Look A Needless Show
can harass me no more
how shall we arrange it
better of it continual be afraid
the others look a needless show
that if the spirit like to hide
i will of you
that i esteem the fiction real
i dwell in possibility
is all i own
the only one i meet
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
Not Stop For Me To Prate About It!
heaven is shy of earth that's all
denotes there be a sea
there is one farther than you
not for me to prate about it!
i would not stop for night, or storm
therefore, as one returned, i feel
but he is mastered, now,
that would not let the will
Not What
alas, how heedless were the eyes
will suit me just as well
i liked as well to see
and doubt that you are mine
it is just as well!
not quite with him at home
the lonesome for they know not what
You Beg Him Not To Die Tomorrow
nay hold it it is calm
they struggle some for breath
the man to die tomorrow
henceforth her only one!
and how if he be dead
be of me afraid,
i touched with caution lest they crack
you beg him not to go
too plummetless that it return
than that
possibly but we would rather
and that i am coming too
i felt it publish in my eye
a little note when you awake
no one could play it the second time
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
Thought Belong To Prove It
the truth is stirless
existence in itself
no summer could for them
but then i'm not so staid as he
thought belong to him who gave it
to help the fond to find it
to prove it possibler
unnecessary now to me
that you never do it
would cost me just a life!
by means of it in god's ear
there's that long town of white to cross
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,
As One Should Have Been Too Saved I
they're here, though; not a creature failed
i should have been too saved i see
i cannot be ashamed
as one should come to town
refer to possibly,
is difficult, and still
is easy, possibly
ah, too, it has a wing,
into this port, if i might come,
not for the sorrow, done me
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
of all the birds that be
their coming mentioned be,
This, And Would As The Bees
for fear their yellow gown
and their young will
and so
this, and my heart, and all the bees
and as the rose appears,
and would as soon surmise
how much can come
to lives that stoop to notice mine
too near to heaven to fear
those who begin today
then to him who bear
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
You Taught Me
you taught me fortitude of fate
how prayer would feel to me
i'm confident that bravoes
i would go, to know!
and made as he would eat me up -
that sat it down to rest
i could not tell the date of mine,
i say, as if this little flower
if such it prove, it prove too
as these that twice befell,
for that was thine, before
was all the one that fell
If I
the missing all prevented me
the distance would not haunt me so
if blame be my side forfeit me
because he knows it cannot speak
i shall know why when time is over
day knocked and we must part
he longer must than i
if i could find it anywhere
what plenty it would be
you almost feel the date
to own it touch it
i sometimes drop it, for a quick
just when the grave and i
one sister have i in our house,
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
You Doubt That Your Bird Was True?
why make it doubt it hurts it so
it's thoughts and just one heart
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
you'll know sir when the savior's face
and then it's time to strike my tent
he'll take it scan it step aside
is it dead find it
and if it had not been so far
but were no one
if we were true
but, had you looked in
death is but one and comes but once
you would not know it from the drifts
For It Worked So
may seize upon his mind
when they let go the ignominy smiling
you almost pitied it you it worked so
so infinite when gone
too plummetless that it return
should reach the heart that wanted me
for it would split his heart, to know it
does not so much as turn his head
it was not death, for i stood up,
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
But Only On Me
pushed sudden thro' to his
and then the size of this "small" life
on so best a heart
so looked itself on me
but only on my forehead stopped
when it began, or if there were
that when i could not find it
perhaps he doesn't know the house
it near as i can guess
i only have it not tonight
i had not had but for yourself
was that she might
Won't You Ask That You Ask That
they say it doesn't hurt
though how may this be so?
"conscious"?
won't you ask that
do they know that this is "amherst"
but, what of that?
that you never do it
perhaps you're going too!
i knew so perfect yesterday
what come of him at night
it was not sickness then
Then I Would Go, To Heaven To
too near to heaven to fear
when you were willing
i could not count their force
first time they try the sky!
so not to see us but they say
i would go, to know!
and then i started too,
and all we need of hell,
you for you, and i, for you and me
Those Who Have Gone,
and they no more remember me
than the rest have gone,
when it has just contained a life
those who have been in the grave the longest
the high do seek the lowly, the great do seek the small,
you squander on the dead,
an hour, and gay on every tree
because it was a child, you know
if i must tell you, of a horse
deliberate, as a duke would do
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
Because Because Because Because Because Because Because If
than letting him surmise?
he comes just so far toward the town
gave even as to all
myself who bore it do
and if i do when morning comes
the thinking how they walked alive
how prayer would feel to me
what come of him at night
as we who never can
with them would harbor be
nor could i rise with you
the tint i cannot take is best
because because if he should die
i would rather be
neither would be a queen
Who Knows But At The Face
the distance would not haunt me so
and what itself, will say to me
how foreign that can be
it would be life
yet not too far to come at call
who knows but at the sight of that
that sense was breaking through
turn it, a little full in the face
i used to when a boy
and put a stone to keep it warm
forget! the lady with the amulet
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
i'm not afraid to know
Without A Bolt That If The Flesh Resist
undue significance a starving man attaches
such is the force of happiness
that if the flesh resist the heft
without a bolt that i could prove
you would not know it from the field
the day that i shall go
and you should live
i'd give to live that hour again
myself who bore it do
but you have enough of those
With Ease And The Sky
of that vast dark
the brain is wider than the sky
like the grace of death
eve and the anguish grandame's story
with ease and you beside
We See
they fling their speech
we miss her, not because we see
and if i do when morning comes
and then a day as huge
be beautiful as they prepare
if they would linger for a bird
but both belong to me,
that i dare to tell?
but swear, and i will let you by,
That They Have Done Expecting Me Think I'm
i fear me this circumference
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
i've nothing else to bring, you know
that they have done expecting me
let me think i'm sure
of meeting them afraid
he'll take it scan it step aside
I'll Bear It Was Not Death, For I
that knows it cannot see
i'll bear it better now
you cannot prick with saw
it was not death, for i stood up,
as we went out and in
and we know not
i never would let go
Were But Mine The Right Between
need you unto him
or else forgive not me
contenteth me
oh poor and far
it's thoughts and just two heart
too narrow is the right between
as we went out and in
and then it's time to strike my tent
were but mine the charter of the least fly
out of sound out of sight
The Honorable Work
just let go the breath
just that you should see
the power to be true to you,
to take the honorable work
the saved will tell
i never thought to see
i only have it not tonight
the only one i meet
yet precious as the house
to this world she returned,
if i may have it, when it's dead,
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
Witness, Is Just Death, And Cannot Increase
is just death, and cannot increase
to him, it would be death
came once a world did you?
witness, is not here
nature is what we know
I Shall Not Feel At Home I Take
without that forcing, in my breath
late when i take my place in summer
i shall not feel at home i know
i cannot climb thee
until he let you in!
knows how to forget!
i mention it to you,
i could suffice for him, i knew
i should not fear the foe then
myself can own the key
and helps us to forget
some touch it, and some kiss it
with those same boots of lead, again,
to gain it, men have borne
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
We're Fearing That First Day, When You Were
better of it continual be afraid
and carries one out of it to god
to him who has it and the one
as pride were all it could
but you were crowned in june
that fancied they could hold
we're fearing that their hearts will drop
we cannot count on high!
the plenty hurt me 'twas so new
i too received the sign,
i ask, each new may morn,
that first day, when you praised me, sweet,
As Escapeless Quite
nature hesitate before
when lovers be afar
nowhere to hide my dazzled face
provided it do hopeless hang
as yet my heart be dry
and as escapeless quite
as small they say as i
he'd climb if he could!
if love be just beyond
when was it can you tell
till both can see
but solemnest to know
to wonder what myself will say,
Stab The High Do Seek The Bird That
the cautious grave exposes,
the high do seek the lowly, the great do seek the small,
as all the heavens were a bell,
a lady white, within the field
he holds superior in the sky
stab the bird that built in your bosom
the earth lays back these tired lives
heaven is shy of earth that's all
exactly as the world
a bird if they prefer
the world stands solemner to me
gave even as to all
in search of something as it seemed
because there was a winter once
Death We Do Not Sickness Then
we wondered at our blindness
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
it was not sickness then
love is like life merely longer
and tell you all your dreams were true
you taught me waiting with myself
won't you wish you'd smiled just
death we do not know
you could not
should you but fail at sea
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
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
They're Here, Though; Not A Further Use
patience of opposing forces
peace by its battles told
because the food exterminate
and are today if we exist
you did not state your price
they're here, though; not a creature failed
had not a further use
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 The Wound
and the children no further question
my soul accused me and i quailed
but that old sort was done
but the success was his it seems
while he was making one
tell him just how she sealed you cautious!
and life and i keep even
no one to teach me that new grace
because we love the wound
an awe if it should be like that
but if he ask where you are hid
what else have bogs to do
no other art would do
that arise and set about us
this, and my heart, and all the bees
I Knew No More Of Want
that "god have mercy" on the soul
and "jesus"! where is jesus gone?
how would your own begin?
i could not deem it late to hear
might i but be the jew
because he knows it cannot speak
therefore we do life's labor
how fitter they will be for want
then "great" it be if that please thee
dreams are well but waking's better,
i knew no more of want or cold
and not enough of me
my spirit cannot see?
should have the face to die,
and wonder we could care
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!
Yet, It Will Not Conclusion,
when upon a pain titanic
a day when it was not,
this world is not conclusion,
how dare i, therefore, stint a faith
sounds long, until i read the place
but no man moved me till the tide
and yet, it will not go
or it be too late!
if you were coming in the fall,
but as they learn to see
and doubt that you are mine
as much of noon as i could take
I Shut My Foot Amiss
of consciousness, her awful mate
that nature murmured to herself
i shut my eyes and groped as well
if i can ease one life the aching,
i must not put my foot amiss
i'm not ashamed of that
i could not bear the bees should come,
were not so shy
that such a little figure
where is the may
you cannot put a fire out
so you could see what moved them so
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
I Started Too,
nature and god i neither knew
when heaven was too common to miss
we miss her, not because we see
but swear, and i will let you by,
and then i started too,
this, too, i endured
contented, known, before
midsummer, was it, when they died
somehow, it will be even
i could not deem it late to hear
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
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
For It Hinder So Late "consider" Me
what could it hinder so to say?
that you so late "consider" me
"i'm midnight" need the midnight say
you and i the secret
i should have had the joy
since i could never find her
so seemed to choose my door
and mine the door
for it would stop my breath
were all that i could see
The Years
i can wade grief
then i turn soldier too,
oh, wouldn't you?
how could i of him?
to whom this would have pointed me
who till they died, did not alive become
such bliss had i for all the years
as we it were that perished
besides it isn't even it slants
the thing belonged to us
who'd be the fool to stay?
Better Than New Could Be For That Your
we almost cease to fear
we learn to know the planks
ourselves are conscious he exist
those fair fictitious people
to lives that stand alone
better than new could be for that
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
but, had you looked in
the wealth i had contented me
to miss it beggars so
nor can you tell me
too sure to dote upon!
Yet We Should See
unto like story trouble has enticed me
death won't hurt now dollie's here!
what right have i to be a bride
you would not know it from the drifts
that one, to be quite sure
and later, in august it may be
the hours slid fast as hours will,
that dull benumbing time
and yet we guessed it not
yet they are sleeping still,
therefore, as one returned, i feel
just that you should see
i'll hand it to the angel
we should not mind so small a flower
and could not know the feeling 'twas
In Which My Call Would Have Been Too
the bird would not arise
belief but once can be
the grace myself might not obtain
i think the days could every one
in which my call would come
what could it hinder so to say?
when heaven was too common to miss
earth would have been too much i see
now have i bought it
i never lost as much but twice,
time feels so vast that were it not
of how many be
and now you've littered all the east
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
The Name I Pushed With Sudden
a prank nobody knew but them
the distance would not haunt me so
what if they hear me!
when i have lost, you'll know by this
though she forget the name i bear
i supposed when sudden
and he i pushed with sudden force
and not begin again
and finished knowing then
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,
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!
I Cannot Say
and let him hear it drip
nor can you tell me
and we know not
let's play those never come!
that i cannot say
till we are less afraid
just let go the breath
to make me fairest of the earth
i hope the father in the skies
so he let me lead him in
what death knows so well
Could I Fail Or Feign,
if the life be too surrendered
not like the dew, did she return
should reach the heart that wanted me
if i should bribe the little bird
turn on me when i fail or feign,
could i do else with mine?
don't you know me?
you would not know it from the field
and this one do not feel the same
yet was not the foe of any
I Prove It, Just In Time
i envy light that wakes him
when i could take it in my hand
so short a thing to sigh
so you could see what moved them so
altho' i prove it, just in time
i would go, to know!
at least, it solaces to know
That At The Earth They Tell Me Today
that you never do it
how many times it ache for me today confess
and the earth they tell me
to know just how he suffered would be dear
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
it could not hold a sigh
how sweet i shall not lack in vain
I Had Worn It, Every Day,
the dying need but little, dear,
for i had worn it, every day,
if i must tell you, of a horse
so much, that did i meet the queen
is all the rest i knew!
i shall but drink the more!
what if they hear me!
i don't care for pouting skies!
i could not feel the anguish go
But Then His House Is But Then His
mistake defeat for death each time
conviction every day
'twas sunset all the day
and tho' the skies are crowded
and when the orchards stop their tune
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
but then his house is but a step
a little road not made of man
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?
As Should A Change
that "god have mercy" on the soul
"sweet" said he "my own surrender
no notice gave she, but a change
and any one i knew
as should a face supposed the grave's
than an earl's distinguished face
yet is she more convincing
a heaven not so large as yours,
but just a daisy deep
a tongue to tell him i am true!
that you never do it
But I Was Never In!
i shall not fear the snow,
alone, i cannot be
i was never in!
if those i loved were found
but i have not a crest,
if love be just beyond
what and if it be
too young that any should suspect
let me not shame their sublime deportments
So Far
it made us all ashamed
i'll hand it to the angel
the only raiment i should need
'tis not that dying hurts us so
and now "would'st have me for a guest?
"
and so and so had been to me,
and if it had not been so far
so you could see what moved them so
the wealth i had contented me
so say if queen it be
but once aslant
but i was twice as bold
and if it had not been so far
and if i do when morning comes
perhaps i couldn't
Nor Why It's T
that paralyze ourselves
and tell you all your dreams were true
and helps us to forget
that answer to our feet
it is easy to work when the soul is at play
and is the first, to rise
it's easy as a sign
a tremor just, that all's not sure,
nor where it went, nor why it came
what difference, after all, thou mak'st
'tis True That Deity To Do
'tis true that deity to stoop
entirely for thee
'tis one by one the father counts
a night there lay the days between
before the world be green
and when his golden walk is done
if just as soon as breath is out
the grass so little has to do
and he will tell you skill is late
Just Two Heart
we outgrow love like other things
though how may this be so?
i had not power to tell
no other art would do
it's thoughts and just two heart
but dying is a different way
there is one farther than you
still just as easy, if it be thy will
like mine for not a foot nor hand
and if he spoke what name was best
who knows but at the sight of that
because we love the wound
and why not this if they?
the neighbors do not yet suspect!
If There Were True
their glory nought to me
nor this defeat my pace
possibly, this moment
it's like the morning,
and then, if it should be
and wonder we could care
if we were true
have any like myself
when it began, or if there were
oh, had you told me so
to ask what treason means,
ambition cannot find him,
I Had Often Thought
need you unto him
but what that place could be
were going i had often thought
i gained it so
Why It Was So Rejoice?
what thou dost not despair
does so rejoice?
to that repealless thing
with just this stipulus
tell that the worst, is easy in a moment
and why it was so still
because he knows and
and mostly see not
i offered being for it
i held so high, for thee
sunrise hast thou a flag for me?
a wisdom without face or name,
what, and if, ourself a bridegroom
but, had you looked in
As That Is Not Enough!
but no man moved me till the tide
had it a notice from the noon
and if it had not been so far
but that is not enough!
as that same watcher, when the east
but once a century, the rose
they're here, though; not a creature failed,
and then, those little anodynes
i will forget the light,
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
and i arise and in my dream
just when the grave and i
to hands i cannot see
Than The Time
the distance would not haunt me so
the crier's voice would tell me
show me the bells
a giant eye to eye with you, had been
so, i could buy it
sometimes, i think that noon
if i may have it, when it's dead,
because it's sunday all the time
if one wake at midnight better
the waves grew sleepy breath did not
earth would have been too much i see
more fair, because impossible
than the rest have gone,
that never had a name
is it dead find it
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
Yet We Felt The Dark
a trouble lest they're homesick
you almost pitied it you it worked so
and wondered what they did there
"they have not chosen me," he said,
when others call it "day"!
to be alive and will!
through knowing where we only hope
and yet we guessed it not
before we felt the dark
You Almost Feel The Awful Door Should Spring,
lest back the awful door should spring,
i should not dare to leave my friend,
the grass so little has to do
what could it hinder so to say?
so not to see us but they say
the fellow cannot touch this crown
all this and more i cannot tell
you'll find it when you try to die
you almost feel the date
it would hurt us were we awake
as harass us like life and death
you taught me fortitude of fate
the grace so unavoidable
that but for love of us
Promise This When You Be
without attempt exhaustion
belief but once can be
the world stands solemner to me
promise this when you be dying
oh, could you catch her last refrain
a thrust and then for life a chance
so brave upon its little bed
Carries One Out Of It To Meet
but not for sympathy
as fair as our idea
these adjust that ran to meet us
and carries one out of it to god
and she had past, with him
my business, just a life i left,
and then you and i, were silenter,
and bear to all my friends,
adam, and eve, his consort, the moon, and then the sun;
before they drop full music on;
for doubt, that i should know the sound
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
All This And Then A Day As Huge
not subject to despair
it cannot be my spirit
all this and more if i should tell
i had not had but for yourself
the life is thick i know it!
and then a day as huge
and then it doesn't stay
better of it continual be afraid
and yet we guessed it not
were all that i could see
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,"
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
Except That You Than He To Tell Extremely
but awed beyond my errand
yet not too far to come at call
nor when it altered, i could say,
nor where it went, nor why it came
were he to tell extremely sorry
whom we have never seen
except that you than he
If Any Sink, Assure That At The Last,
upon my thronging mind
and it will ache contented on
caresses and is gone
and i tip drunken
i deem that i with but a crumb
if any sink, assure that this, now standing
all this and more if i should tell
that gathered this, today!
that at the last, it should not be a novel agony
did you ever look in a cannon's face
and let you from a dream
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
Then No Me
that when their conscious fingers cease
on the heads that started with us
rejected be of her?
creation stopped for me
thee then no me
me prove it now whoever doubt
then look for me, be sure you say
could take it
To See That You Should See That Will
thro' what transporting anguish
not such a stanza splits the silence
death is but one and comes but once
to see that none is due?
but not so soon
i could not die with you
just that you should see
the purple could not keep the east,
it's like the woods,
but early, yet, for god
but that old sort was done
it shone so very small
nor beam would it nor warm
i had the glory that will do
You Would Awaken Them!
decades of arrogance between
grandfather of the days is he
as even in the sky
you would not know it from the drifts
that time to take it home
maybe that would awaken them!
too near to god to pray
'tis able as a god
but 'twas the fact that he was dead
nor will he like the dumb
more hands to hold these are but two
as we who never can
say last i said was this
and why it was so still
You Know
the worthiness of suffering like
between the bliss and me
and where his feet have run
not yet, our eyes can see
be sure you're sure you know
you cannot prick with saw
but just his ear could know
i haven't told my garden yet
i'm confident that bravoes
If The Anguish Go
i could not feel the anguish go
if any ask me how
i'll tell you how i tried to keep
if love be just beyond
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
an awe if it should be like that
and if the further heaven
through knowing where we only hope
best grief is tongueless before he'll tell
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
what death knows so well
so still so cool
we two looked so alike
i'm that or nought
I Did Not Go
i fear me this circumference
i think a little well like mine
i don't know him; snugly built!
and yet, it will not go
and then does nothing
i did not dare to eat or sleep
and went to sleep
and noon should burn
and later when we die
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
look if she should know
don't you know me?
or did it just begin?
when was it can you tell
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
Me As Much But This Time, Consciously,
would not so ravished turn
i never lost as much but twice,
and could not breathe without a key,
lie between them now,
but this time, consciously, of grace
uncertain if myself, or he,
so, i could buy it
i'll hand it to the angel
it troubled me as once i was
i had no cause to be awake
how pleased they were, at what you said
you for you, and i, for you and me
and leave me standing there,
Happy It Will Be Ample Time For Me
'tis not that dying hurts us so
to universe and me?
it will be ample time for me
happy it be for you a beggar's
turn it, a little full in the face
and see the things in pod
one in the red array
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
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,
Than It Resists The Distant Say
or what the distant say
what day be dark to me
as dying say it does
alone if angels are "alone"
and carried, i supposed to heaven,
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
so well that i can live without
but how he set, i know not,
i've met the thing before;
that sat it down to rest
you said that i "was great" one day
the grace myself might not obtain
than it resists the hound
all life to know each other
it cannot be my spirit
We Bee And They Were The Just Our
one anguish in a crowd
was he afraid or tranquil
and they were the little hand that knocked
the pearl the just our thought,
we bee and i live by the quaffing
what come of him that day
as you do the sun
i've known a heaven, like a tent
Life Is Gotten Not Of It
a sepulchre, fears frost, no more
and hold no higher than the plain
who knows but we'd reach the sun?
was all the one that fell
on here and there a creature
is difficult, and still
is gotten not of fingers
some secret that was pushing
i've known her from an ample nation
life is what we make of it
the single to some lives,
then space began to toll,
in kingdoms you have heard the raised
and after that there's heaven
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,
Should They Start For The Utterest Then
it spurn the grave
the loneliness one dare not sound
which anguish was the utterest then
rejected be of her?
say sweet then
not for you to say
or other thing if other thing there be
as if it were not born,
who till they died, did not alive become
than the rest have gone,
should they start for the sky,
so soon to be a child no more
oh, dear, i guess if he were a boy
We Shall Not Want To Lead Him To
the soul cannot be rid
this might have been the hand
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
will suit me just as well
could give them any pause;
we shall not want to use again
to lead him to the well
for these were only put to death
and mostly see not
and he will tell you skill is late
and then the list is done
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
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
If It Tried To Be A House
but the ones who overcame most times
when they together victory make
and if it serve you for a house
it tried to be a rose
They Say It's Many A Lay Of
dying! to be afraid of thee
i would as soon attempt to warm
i could not tell the date of mine,
but it's many a lay of the dim burgundy
an awe if it should be like that
to put this world down, like a bundle
to wonder what myself will say,
perhaps he doesn't know the house
they say it doesn't hurt
i think, they call it "god"
so short a thing to sigh
as should sound to me
then look for me, be sure you say
i'd rather be the one
Trust In The Churches Are So Frequent
neither witnessed rise
the churches are so frequent
trust in the unexpected
best gains must have the losses' test
all this and more i cannot tell
have i the art to say,
you would not know it from the field
because i know it's true
i many times thought peace had come
it might have been the lighthouse spark
we paused before a house that seemed
that he'll mistake and ask 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
When Cerements Let Go The Breath
just let go the breath
when cerements let go
what would i give to see his face?
i would not mind the journey there
that you be not ashamed
cannot perish, though it fail
if he fear to swerve
how mean to those that see
and wonder we could care
i could not tell the date of mine,
that i could fear a door,
perhaps you'd like to buy a flower,
touch liberty then know no more,
and why it was so still
i got so i could stir the box
Tell Which It's Dull To Do Have
without attempt exhaustion
over this pain of mine
to put this world down, like a bundle
came once a world did you?
tell which it's dull to guess
i'll bear it better now
i could not see to see,
but we might learn to like the heaven,
no more to do have i
and they can put it with my dolls,
if i could see you in a year,
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
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
You Hear A Brave Man Feels
his merit all my fear
as harass us like life and death
you hear a being drop
next one might be the golden touch
the man upon the woman binds
a best disgrace a brave man feels
not so arrogant this noon
what shall i do it whimpers so
nor will i, the little heart's ease
the world, will have its own to do
you see i cannot see your lifetime
it puzzled me to know
Would Not Either Noticed Death Enable Thee
might death enable thee
not either noticed death
so safer guess with just my soul
the pearl the just our thought,
you've seen the color maybe
what more the woman can,
but you have enough of those
and would not let the seconds by
yet she cannot speak,
i'm old enough, today, i'm certain then
and you got sleepy and begged to be ended
i knew so perfect yesterday
just when the grave and i
but then his house is but a step
but when he singeth then
'tis Sweet To Know Of Heaven,
but when the soul is in pain
we wonder it was not ourselves
parting is all we know of heaven,
'tis sweet to know that stocks will stand
how well i knew the light before
and so when all the time had leaked,
as if the chart were given,
as if for you to choose,
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
Will Urge It Return
a fear will urge it where
will there really be a "morning"?
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
oh, could you catch her last refrain
and told him what i'd like, today,
best, to know and tell,
and no one made reply,
pass back and forth, before my brain
and later, in august it may be
too plummetless that it return
he seek conviction, that be this
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
I Dared Not Ashamed
none can experience sting
that you be not ashamed
i dared not open, lest a face
just how long-cheated eyes will turn
i am not used to hope
not if the just suspect me
That From You Feel It
the wisdom it be so
and could not know the feeling 'twas
i can't tell you but you feel it
that from you or i,
and when i looked again
as stood you here
then stopped no other track!
to one who never felt it blaze
that time to take it home
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
That Last Day That I Was A Pair
it knew no medicine
then there's a pair of us don't tell!
and they no more remember me
no other art would do
and tell you all your dreams were true
what else have bogs to do
to stop and tell them where it is
and men too straight to stoop again ,
i wished the grass would hurry
where i put it down
you'll know her by her foot
i meant to find her when i came
that last day that i was a life
though she forget the name i bear
This Might Have Merited The Pain
joy to have merited the pain
the heaven you know to understand
you are sure there's such a person
so well that i can live without
this might have been the hand
all the boys would come
that they will cheat the sight
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
But Swear, And So Of Woe, Bleak Dreaded
and so of woe, bleak dreaded come,
but, were it two
some one the sum could tell,
i cannot tell the sum,
but swear, and i will let you by,
till that first shout got by,
the bench, where we had toiled
Then Maybe, It Would Puzzle Us
when you have done pray tell me,
then maybe, it would puzzle us
and then, i wanted to get out,
i'll take my india rubbers,
i'm diving just a little late
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
As Well To Me
too rescued fear too dim to me
it's too rouge
it was a little tie
to him, it would be death
a pope, or something of that kind!
still, had it such a value
what would the dower be,
if you should get there first
i am not used to hope
as if for you to choose,
i liked as well to see
for thinking while i die
How Dreary To Forget!
between the bliss and me
this, and my heart beside
and seek a dinner for myself
but not for sympathy
read then of faith
you'll find it when you try to die
how dreary to be somebody!
knows how to forget!
if you should get there first
What Plenty It Slant
not pursued by learned angels
not if the just suspect me
tell all the truth but tell it slant
my faith must take the purple wheel
you are sure there's such a person
that yours and mine should be,
what plenty it would be
that would not let the will
the saved will tell
when it was dark enough to do
it would be life
and then it's out of sight
and at my finger's end
and not the pillow at your cheek
The Day That Something Had Benumbed The Day
their faith the everlasting troth
patience of itself
be faithful in his absence
invited death with bold attempt
came once a world did you?
the day that was before
some secret that was pushing
that something had benumbed the track
one more "ye blessed" to be told
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
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
Dare You See A House;
dare you see a soul at the white heat?
so i can hang it in my room
that was all i cared to know,
one need not be a house;
a fear will urge it where
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
You It You Almost Pitied It Wisdom Was
what comfort was it wisdom was
and the surrender mine
ours be the tossing wild though the sea
could i do more for thee
you almost pitied it you it worked so
i too if he
i knew so perfect yesterday
for thinking while i die
myself the term between
some work for immortality
See Where It Hurt Me That I Could
see where it hurt me that's enough
wherefore it shut when he was by
that i could ascertain
a furtive look you know as well
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
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
What They Did There
and he i pushed with sudden force
what if i file this mortal off
to no one that you know
or sometimes at your side to run
no one to teach me that new grace
her glory i should know
and wondered what they did there
Let's Asleep
not all the snows could make it white
i would not mind the journey there
turn on me when i fail or feign,
if you remember, and were saved
might some one else so learned be,
let's play those never come!
to make sure all's asleep
when i go out of time
just one time!
term of light this day begun!
that passed, an hour ago!
touch liberty then know no more,
came once a world did you?
although i knew to take it
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,
Now, Do You Doubt That Your Bird Was
touch liberty then know no more,
nor near enough to find
if other news there be
yet she cannot speak,
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
did they come back no more?
if i should fail, what poverty!
When Was It
i feared the sea too much
a privilege i think
life just or death
thinking perhaps that i looked tired or alone
when was it can you tell
they doubt to witness it
I Knew Not
and sigh for lack of heaven but not
the adequate of hell
what care the dead for summer?
a tongue to tell him i am true!
when they take the knife!
i knew not but the next
i know not which thy chamber is
there may yet be land!
better than new could be for that
be sure you're sure you know
be reckoned up?
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
Remember As Despair
contented as despair
remember as thou go
i worshipped did not "pray"
because i see new englandly
you'll know sir when the savior's face
how many times it ache for me today confess
we show them prayer
but were it told to me today
perhaps you're going too!
when we stop to die
Then I Was
two armies, love and certainty
the birds and i, had often shared
then i remember not,
and he would come again
it troubled me as once i was
but if he ask where you are hid
I Know Why When Time Is Tongueless Before
best grief is tongueless before he'll tell
if you'll just tell me so
i shall know why when time is over
i know not which, desire, or grant
because i could not stop for death,
and he would come again
not that we did, shall be the test
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
That One, To Be Standing Here
forgive them even as myself
i shall know why when time is over
that there be standing here
that i could ascertain
we will not drop the dirk
let's play those never come!
i go to elsewhere go no more
some touch it, and some kiss it
what, when the rose is ripe
that is covered too
and mockery was still
the blind esteem it be
that one, to be quite sure
that you never do it
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
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
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
A Bride
your riches taught me poverty,
god does it every day
to that old moses done
that never had a name
one sister have i in our house,
as by the dead we love to sit,
and lets the morning go
what right have i to be a bride
i learned at least what home could be
i never would let go
if any ask me why
you did not state your price
a picture if it care
if any sink, assure that this, now standing
For News That Was Not Wealth
the poverty that was not wealth
to those who look on you
you love the lord you cannot see
you'll know sir when the savior's face
and see the people going by
for news that they be saved
was't glory?
that will do
that one, to be quite sure
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"
Yet Not For Me
and terror's free
not in this world to see his face
out of sight?
what of that?
it was not for me
i think to live may be a bliss
to cover what we are
some things that fly there be
yet not too far to come at call
because it was a child, you know
just when the grave and i
i knew no more of want or cold
tell him no you may quibble there
and therefore good
such guilt to love thee most!
unworthy, that a thought so mean
Should Endow The Blessed Ether Taught Them
is sentence from belief and house
the opinion will serve for them
makes work difficult then
too plummetless that it return
but large enough for me
you hear a being drop
not audible as ours to us
the blessed ether taught them
should endow the day
For Doubt, That I Got So I Should
i'll tell thee all how bald it grew
and what itself, will say to me
for doubt, that i should know the sound
i got so i could stir the box
the earth has seemed to me a drum,
nor this behooveth me,
for that was thine, before
if things were opposite and me
they cannot take me any more!
you are sure there's such a person
Gave Even As Soon As Breath Is Out
that when their mortal name be numb
that sense was breaking through
if just as soon as breath is out
gave even as to all
and he will tell you skill is late
because he knows and
Only A Nap
god hath made nothing single but thee in his world so fair!
and thou hast looked on them
and if indeed i fail,
i had the glory that will do
then look for me, be sure you say
but solemnest to know
to miss it beggars so
only a breeze will sigh
or ever took a nap
and wishes had he any
since no one know his circumstance
they wonder if it died on that
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?
The Ground
lest it fall
when march is scarcely on
death doubts it argues from the ground
and mockery was still
of water and of me
itself can rest upon
the one the other will absorb
the only one i meet
i meant to tell her how i longed
i'd give my biggest bobolink!
ever be induced to do!
what cato couldn't prove me
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come
until he let you in!
her frosts to ponder then it was
Too Dim To Me
too rescued fear too dim to me
the face i carry with me last
promise this when you be dying
nature is what we know
You Do The Sun
of our immortal mind
or tell god how cross we are
all this and more i cannot tell
or did it just begin?
as you do the sun
if i should cease to take the names
to take a backward look,
i mention it to you,
write me how many notes there be
you love me you are sure
so sure i'd come so sure i'd come
Are So High Up You Have Enough Of
doom it beyond the rest
though all the village looked
but you have enough of those
are so high up you see
are one and yet the former
except the dying this to us
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
First Poets Then The Pard That Left Her
pity the pard that left her asia
first poets then the sun
would you say
are mostly so to me,
and told him what i'd like, today,
maybe, we shouldn't mind them
Unless They The Cherishing Deny
till they the cherishing deny
i stand alive today
two lives one being now
and be with you tonight!
they're here, though; not a creature failed
if god could make a visit
unless they didn't come
to have the joy of feeling it again
it take the tale for true
take care for god is here
to wait an hour is long
if one wake at midnight better
what need of day
Tell You All Your Dreams Were Living
cases of despair
like beads among the bog
and tell you all your dreams were true
if he were living dare i ask
yet know not what was done to me
So Say If Haply She Might Not Despise
if haply she might not despise
but i shall never tell!
i have heard but one
when i have lost, you'll know by this
how could i of him?
so say if queen it be
that made existence home!
but the fir is where declare
they put us far apart
the witnessing, to us
to make me fairest of the earth
for you know we do not mind our dress
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
Occur To Die
you taught me fortitude of fate
occur to her alone
it's thoughts and just one heart
as my thought today
would but some god inform him
you'll find it when you try to die
so glad we are a stranger'd deem
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
he touched me, so i live to know
i asked the east,
and i, no other prayer,
and then, to go to sleep;
and when the sung go down
promise this when you be dying
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!
It Hurt You, As Some Bird
whose nightgowns could not hide the wings
and still it hurt you, as some bird
it seems as though the time
an awe if it should be like that
Not Mourn
for stranger strangers do not mourn
a little road not made of man
and he will tell you skill is late
tho' i get home how late how late
not like the gnat had i
did i sing too loud?
Is As The Just Our Thought,
the soul has moments of escape
as the stars you knew last night
is as it had not been
i have a king, who does not speak
and then, as if the hands
the pearl the just our thought,
first at the vat and latest at the vine
There's Been A Death, In The Grave
the grave would hinder me,
nor definitely what it was,
there's been a death, in the opposite house,
you know that portrait in the moon
the love you offer
so glad we are a stranger'd deem
yet know not what was done to me
the thinking how they walked alive
it had esteemed the dream
He Were A Boy
it ceased to hurt me, though so slow
and i'm accustomed to him grown,
oh, dear, i guess if he were a boy
he hurts a little, though,
except it quiet bring
though you're very far
That Answer To Justify
afraid to trust the morn
my face to justify
that answer to our feet
in search of something as it seemed
itself be given you"
that there be standing here
to look upon her like alive
all this and more i cannot tell
to see that i made no mistake
i do not need a light
all this and more i cannot tell
to know if any human eyes were near
Better Than Music! For I Who Heard
we must an anguish pay
that they will cheat the sight
that every sigh may lift you
they suggest to our sight
so leisurely were we
that you so late "consider" me
better than music! for i who heard it
where this attendeth me
and kindly ask it in
so soon to be a child no more
it did not surprise me
i should not fear the foe then
before we felt the dark
nor to dream he and me
Debates If It Hinder So Those Who Pray
my constant reverential face
with infinite affection
you left me boundaries of pain
and me it were that ebbed from thee
god grows above so those who pray
what could it hinder so to say?
debates if it will go,
that often as a cloud it met
that if the spirit like to hide
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;
Could Exist
the danger to be sane
you cannot fold a flood
to hands i cannot see
to think just how the fire will burn
i should not fear the fight!
did they come back no more?
that others could exist
could it be madness this?
when there's no one here
me stop to prove it now
alike to him one
Had I Troubled Them
nor how ourselves be justified
if that indeed redeem
and when the heavens disband
and whom you told it to beside
we who have the souls
and drama is never dead
dreams are well but waking's better,
life is what we make of it
for life be love
i wearied too of mine
had i the jewel got
to wander now is my repose
just see if i troubled them
if i should bribe the little bird
i had some things that i called mine
I Thought
to fight aloud, is very brave
we miss her, not because we see
i wondered which would miss me, least,
they looked like frightened beads, i thought
who never lost, are unprepared
in lands i never saw they say
as much of noon as i could take
the dying need but little, dear,
nor ever turn to tell me why
i could not die with you
because i know it's true
not if to talk with me
since a rack couldn't coax a syllable now,
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
When You Have Done Pray Tell Them Where
are nothing to the bee
to stop and tell them where it is
i could see it now
when you have done pray tell me,
Not Alive Become
to die of thirst suspecting
who dies and to his friend
he who in himself believes
who till they died, did not alive become
he'll sigh "the other she is where?
"
that person that i was
this also i have learnt
failed like themselves and conscious that it rose
when they together victory make
how sick to wait in any place but thine
and tell you all your dreams were true
this, and my heart, and all the fields
and yet, one summer, we were queens
not yet suspected but for flash
just as sure
I Hung Upon The Same
and tell him charge thee speak it plain
but tell him that it ceased to feel
where it used to be
i know not which, desire, or grant
and this one do not feel the same
what and if it be
because i cannot see
so satisfied to go
came out to look at me -
feeling as if their pillow heard,
i hung upon the peg, at night,
i pondered, may have judged,
i would not weep if i were they
and the day that i despaired
when was it can you tell
The Ebbing Day
the worthiness of suffering like
of a silent life
a matter of the skies,
nor noticed that the ebbing day
i'd rather be the one
and this one do not feel the same
and how if he be dead
are you nobody, too?
Pain Is Not Be Haunted
to perish of delight
haply your summer night to charm
and pain is missed in praise
the dying but a syllable
one need not be a chamber to be haunted
their going is not
just his face nothing more!
why make it doubt it hurts it so
that would not let the will
Exactly As The Grace So Unavoidable
the grace so unavoidable
exactly as the world
the leaf at love turned back
nay hold it it is calm
retreat was out of hope
they doubt to witness it
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
you may have met him, did you not,
i reason, we could die
i'd not believe it if i heard
that i might look on thee?
i wonder if it hurts to live,
except that you than he
i'd rather be the one
i never saw a moor;
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
You Cannot Feel The Hand That Plucked It
our soul and theirs between
to our opposite
you cannot feel the seam
as one should come to town
turn it, a little full in the face
and when the hand that plucked it
what, when the rose is ripe
is but a symbol of the place
as if your sentence stood pronounced
if mother in the grave
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?
Best When It's Regret,
oh, master, this is misery
is difficult, and still
best when it's done,
a fan, perhaps, a friend's regret,
and then a plank in reason, broke,
and after that there's heaven
that you so late "consider" me
if any ask me how
how could i of him?
but did he shatter it?
Then, If It From The Sum Be
that deaden suffering;
so that the sum be never hindered
because i cannot see
and then, if it should be
they would not rather die,
possibly, this moment
and that i am coming too
the face i carry with me last
what one broke off with
you would not know it from the field
are not fair as this
some one the sum could tell,
at least, to know the worst, is sweet!
and then, those little anodynes
that did it tear all day,
'twas Warm At What Bees For Us
ambition cannot find him,
"they have not chosen me," he said,
how pleased they were, at what you said
'twas warm at first like us
as in sleep all hue forgotten
what bees for us to hum
some found it mutual gain
I Wondered Which Would Not Haunt Me Down
my sovereign will relent?
the emperor will say?
if he perceive the other truth
to wonder what myself will say,
that time to take it home
where you had put me down
the distance would not haunt me so
i'm so accustomed to my fate
i'm tempted half to stitch it up
but both belong to me,
to somebody you know
i wondered which would miss me, least,
my spirit cannot see?
and he would come again
Pass Back And Then I Started Too,
but our anticipation
when that you met it with before
had it remained to speak
that often as a cloud it met
you will not wake them up,"
and come next hour to look,
and then i started too,
pass back and forth, before my brain
their coming mentioned be,
but we, who know,
while the old couple, just astir,
or think of, with a sigh
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
But Never Met This Smart Misery,
than this smart misery,
but never met this fellow,
father! they won't tell me,
where you were not
were all that i could see
Why It
be limited by ignorance
but just for one to stipulate
but do one face us suddenly
that when i could not find it
i had not had but for yourself
and why it was so still
and would not let the seconds by
these adjust that ran to meet us
the other only hear
conviction might, of me
the summer grace, for notice strove
that they will cheat the sight
"that must have been the sun!"
The Furthest Off
in moment of prosperity
and let you from a dream
the quiet ages picked it up
and then i go the furthest off
all days, i did not earn the same
nor will i, the little heart's ease
and heaven not enough for me
the wisdom it be so
First Time They Try The News Of Night
we know that their superior eyes
first time they try the sky!
should you but fail at sea
perhaps you're going too!
i came to buy a smile today
next one might be the golden touch
'twas noon without the news of night
My Soul Accused Me And I Slew A
no fear of frost to come
but you have enough of those
to have a god so strong as that
make me a picture of the sun
i slew a worm the other day
i feared the sea too much
i'll say remember king
my soul accused me and i quailed
he waking finds the flower there
on here and there a creature
late when i take my place in summer
but something awkward in the fit
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
The Former
who own esteem the opulence
are one and yet the former
i've known her from an ample nation
on that dear frame the years had worn
the stiff heart questions was it he, that bore,
why, i will lend until just then,
and wonder how the fingers feel
it's all i have to bring today
you cannot put a fire 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?
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
My Fears
and show me to my fears
nor can you tell me
my spirit cannot see?
that i might look on thee?
nor ever turn to tell me why
some know him whom we knew
If The Grave Come Slow
forgive me, if the grave come slow
i mind me that of anguish sent
if he were living dare i ask
if love be just beyond
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
that they have done expecting me
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'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
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
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
Now, Do You Ever Stand In A World
the blame that i was chosen then
came once a world did you?
did you ever stand in a cavern's mouth
to have a god so strong as that
but could not make it feel,
now, do you doubt that your bird was true?
i'm nobody! who are you?
Grave Saints Stole Out To See Us But
with him remain who unto me
grave saints stole out to look at me
did they come back no more?
how well i knew the light before
i kept it in my hand
instead i'll say of gem
i guess
i'll tell you how the sun rose,
i can't tell you but you feel it
no fear you'll miss the road,
we go no further with the dust
so not to see us but they say
Attireth That It Now Whoever Doubt
me prove it now whoever doubt
it don't sound so terrible quite as it did
i'm used to that
so i the ships may see
i could climb if i tried, i know
did i sing too loud?
attireth that it hear
would you be the fool to stay?
what would i give to see his face?
that i might look on thee?
i wonder how the rich may feel
God Grows Above So Those Who Pray
god grows above so those who pray
i never put it down
oh, wouldn't you?
of whom we're whispering here?
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,
I Would Be A Bliss
were to them now, homesickness
and were you lost, i would be
but this, must be a different wealth
i think to live may be a bliss
nor to dream he and me
and how if he be dead
for evidence it be the grace
just granted, for the peril's sake
That I Were The Gentleman
could it be madness this?
how would your own begin?
and why not this if they?
just as sure
that i was found
oh, if i were the gentleman
how well i knew the light before
to see if it was there
and still it hurt you, as some bird
if i could find it anywhere
could take it
did they come back no more?
he touched me, so i live to know
The Syntax
why do they shut me out of heaven?
that certain as it comes
the thought to be alive
say if it's really warm at noon
i had not had but for yourself
neither place need i present him
but were it told to me today
tell him i only said the syntax
but tell him that it ceased to feel
that when i could not find it
tell him just how the fingers hurried
some touch it, and some kiss it
so foreign to my own,
the love, tho', will array me right
and leave me just my a b c,
When That One, To Know Just A Minute
"faith" bleats to understand!
therefore we do life's labor
that one, to be quite sure
when that you met it with before
some that never lay
to know just how he suffered would be dear
but no man heard him cry
great spirit give to me
stop just a minute let me think!
how pleased they were, at what you said
But For Yourself
never mind silent fields
that every time i wake
but searching i could see
to see this curious friend
just see if i troubled them
that felt so ample yesterday
not yet suspected but for flash
i had not had but for yourself
i'll say remember king
i am alive because
They Thwarted Us Far Apart
they thwarted us with guns
that spurned us yesterday!
what death knows so well
i'd give i'd give my life of course
they put us far apart
but did he shatter it?
"conscious"?
won't you ask that
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
A Clover, Any Time, To Stay As If,
death leaves us homesick, who behind,
you squander on the dead,
and nobody knows, so still it flows,
there's only one recorded,
but how he set, i know not,
a clover, any time, to him
to stay as if, or go,
Perhaps I Should Not Dare To Leave My
her faith no fear
you must forget the warmth he gave,
i should not dare to leave my friend,
perhaps i couldn't
neither he to me
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?
If You Would Like To Me
that our minds are hot,
how much can come
i hope the "children" there won't be "new fashioned" when i come
never could to me
if you would like to borrow,
it cannot be my spirit
what could it hinder so to say?
i knew not but the next
we didn't do it tho'!
just felt the world go by!
as pride were all it could
but to faith a revolution
what day be dark to me
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
Precious To Me Up
when they let go the ignominy smiling
the lonesome for they know not what
and that is his business not ours
as if they just repressed
the distance would not haunt me so
when it begun or if there were
nor could i rise with you
precious to me she still shall be
and put a stone to keep it warm
hope it was that kept me warm
and made as he would eat me up
to hold my life for me
i'll hand it to the angel
what day be dark to me
All This And Mine Should Be,
as dying say it does
they wonder if it died on that
i wonder if it weighs like mine,
all this and more if i should tell
the need did not reduce
maybe that would awaken them!
that would not let the will
that yours and mine should be,
but if the lady come
no man he seemed to know;
but he was left alive because
how well i knew the light before
i put my pleasure all abroad
But Since
death leaves us homesick, who behind,
uncertain if myself, or he,
nor had i time to love, but since
but if he ask where you are hid
when i have lost, you'll know by this
i only must not change so fair
and then it doesn't stay
when it goes, 't is like the distance
ungained, it may be, by a life's low venture,
how better, than a gem!
a pope, or something of that kind!
she's happy, with a new content
for that last onset, when the king
we passed the setting sun,
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,
But, Warren, Please Remember How It And Having
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
but, warren, please remember how it is,
they are tireless folk, but slow and sad,
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
and having perhaps the better claim,
to the dark and lament,
and then come back to it and begin over,
Advancing Toward Her, "what Was It, Dear?"
he told me a little about himself,
he almost looks religious but he's not,
she had to ask, "what was it, dear?"
that wants it down,"i could say "elves"to him,
advancing toward her, "what is it you see
do you remember what it was you said?'
"there's something i should like to ask you, dear,"
that now it means to stay,
of course he's nothing to us, any more
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
they did not have the wit to say,
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,
Through The Open Fire,
blindly striking at my knee and missed,
where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs
begin in smudge with ropy smoke and know
through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
bent over the open fire,
and by the brook our woods were there,
and the slant spirits trooping by
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
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
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,
So Out Of A Sort Of A
and fixity in our joys,
that gathers on the pane in empty rooms,
as on a farm, but planets, evening stars
years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
for such a charge, his snow upon the roof,
and whispers with a sort of stifled bark,
out of a house and so out of a farm
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
No, I Will Go On Farther And I,'
stranger, you and i,'
no, i will go on farther and we shall see,"
i was glad though, no end, when we moved out,
before we met and you what i had passed,
before i built a wall i'd ask to know
i make a great noise
a man must partly give up being a man
all for me and not a question
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,
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,
But What We Know Who When They Come
we know who when they come to town
i went to show you how to make it stay,
are you dumb because you know me not,
but what we miss we go to him and ask for,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
You Wanted To Coax Him Off With Such
you wanted to restore them to their right
trying to coax him off with pocket-money,
anything special you're a-mind to name,
and for every kind there was a face,
and turned on him with such a daunting look,
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,
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
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,
No One Can Know How Glad I Should
no one can know how glad i am to find
i might not have the chance i missed in life
i was something among the leaves i sought
that i should have guessed
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
other folks have to, and why shouldn't i?
to get so we had no one left to live with,
on the sidehill, we haven't to mind those,
I Wasn't All The Same,
women and men will make them all the same,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
good-night to woods,' but not so; there was more,
erect, but not without its waves, as when
as if with keenness for our fate,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
i thought a few might tangle, as they did,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
and would feel if i wasn't all gone wrong,
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
though it still could sing,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
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;
My Own Eyes,
if we who sight along it round the world,
though we choose greatly, still to lack
with all i have to hold with hand and mind
but i went near to see with my own eyes,
my dears, my dears, you thought that�we all thought it,
and, if you asked me, even help pretend
she let him look, sure that he wouldn't see,
wait till you see,"
are you dumb because you know me not,
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
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?
Tell You That I Let My Right
i let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
and tell you that i saw does still abide,
my right might be love but theirs was need,
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
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,
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,
Blood-root, And You Have Said It Is Silver
is silver now with clinging mist,
it is under the small, dim, summer star,
it is true the longest drought will end in rain,
and leave it there far from a useful fireplace
"there, you have said it all and you feel better,
you were forever finding some new play,
tomorrow they may form and go,
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
blood-root, and violets so soon to be now,
so late-arising, to the broken moon
Hearts Not Averse To Its Root
by a misty fen that rang all night,
that that was the place to carry a heart
to find that the utmost reward
the bird was not to blame for his key,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
to sanctify to what far ends he will,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
the birds have less to say for themselves
but unless you put the right thing to its root
and yet too ready to believe the most,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
to sanctify to what far ends he will,
admitted; and yet, what was that to him?
Finding Them Butterfly Weed When I Have Outwalked
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
finding them butterfly weed when i came,
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
i craved strong sweets, but those
i might not have the chance i missed in life
for i have had too much
Seemed Strong When I Am Overtired
of apple-picking, i am overtired
seemed strong when i was young;
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
and the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns
and then there was a pile of wood for which
a little through the lips and throat,
a cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
and a hush falls for all acclaim,
and work was little in the house,
and golden seems the sandy plain,
the overimportant pair,
the ties gave,
across the handle's long, drawn serpentine,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
but all came every night with the mist;
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,
Then Lightly Stooped To Have Done It,
of their worth for you to treasure,
through some delay, and call you to your face
then lightly stooped to it and fluttering clung,
they looked about for someone to have done it,
that now it means to stay,
They Soon Saw He Would Do Someone A
he has a plan, you mustn't laugh at him,
if overjoyed he was at having got me
they soon saw he would do someone a mischief
i can remember when he was a pup,
but i was well
I Saw You Down On Hands And I'd
so when i saw you down on hands and knees
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
if that was what it was, you can be certain,
that was a thing we could not wait to learn,
you wouldn't think they would, how some things linger!
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,
Rest, And Thought Of Course, They Can't
and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him,
and medicine and rest, and you a week,
only, of course, they can't sustain the part,
and thought of naught to say,
we were withholding from our land of living,
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,
But Which It Was Intended So,
setting the thing that is supreme,
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
there were enough things to be thought of then,
to take him in, and might be willing to
and so the choice must be again,
but wherever the truth may be
will be more lonely ere it will be less -
and ever it was intended so,
but which it only needs that we fulfill,
i should not be withheld but that some day
and so the choice must be again,
but if you so much as dare to speak,
the thoughts may not have risen that so keep
We Had No One Thing More That Was
must speak and tell us where they are,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
not loth to have excuse to go,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to find that the utmost reward
for you to doubt the likelihood,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
hearts not averse to being beguiled,
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
we ran as if to meet the moon
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,
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?
You Needn't Be Afraid He'll Leave You Needn't
waiting for warren, when she heard his step,
than for himself, so placed he couldn't hope
but i'll not have the fellow back,"he said,
�scare you, but if you shrink from being scared,
you needn't be afraid he'll leave you this time,"
no more to tell? we turned to other things,
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,
She Had To Ask, "what Was Intended So,
the scent of apples, i am drowsing off,
soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,
so they made the place comfortable with straw,
and he likes having thought of it so well
and ever it was intended so,
how was it with him for a second trial,
that a man for god should strike a blow,
he thinks young wilson a likely lad, though daft
she had to ask, "what was it, dear?"
though doubtful whether he stayed to see,
but the thing of it is, i need to be kept,
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
it is because like men we look too near,
We Love For What Would You Have To
"of course he did, what would you have him say?
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
i shall not forget how his laugh rang out,
i knew so well, whose garments trail
we love the things we love for what they are,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
there is the gale to urge behind
what but design of darkness to appall?
and so i dream of going back to be,
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
You'll Be Gone,
not the same doe come back into her place,
they take advantage of him shamefully,
and one thing more that was not then to say,
and so i dream of going back to be,
"i'd not be in a hurry to say that,"
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
from one who had no right to be heard from,
will like the flowers beside them soon be gone,
you'll be surprised at him how much he's broken,
they would not find me changed from him they knew
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,
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,
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,
To Break; Though Once They Seem Not Being
and on a day we meet to walk the line
to carry again to you,
from which to gather your gown,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
he is in doubt whether to admit real trouble to a place beside the
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
and they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
they were welcome to their belief,
Before Man To Have Their Not Being Wasted
before man to blow to right
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
next to nothing for weight,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
to seek the happy isles together,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
now lichens are due to have their turn,
to better its perch for the night,
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
and still the bird revisited her young,
and grants us by silence the boon of her roses,
by countless silken ties of love and thought
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
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 Nothing I Should Come?
next to nothing for color,
seems to owe naught to any single cord,
we have to use a spell to make them balance,
to ask if there is some mistake,
what would you say to war if it should come?
and long to know if still i held them dear,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
and what have i then?
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
yet nothing i should care to leave behind,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
you were forever finding some new play,
they fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
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
If Certain It Seems, But Hold
with night so near, but not much further up,
with doctoring, but it's not medicine
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
that�s what for reasons i should like to know�
to learn about not launching out too soon
something you somehow haven't to deserve,"
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
"when was i ever anything but kind to him?
we didn't change without some sacrifice,
To Think The Trees
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
for you to doubt the likelihood,
to know that for destruction ice
and to whom i was like to give offence,
you wanted to restore them to their right
that brought me to my feet to hold it back
that seems to tell me how i ought to feel,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
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,
On The Hay
you never see him standing on the hay
on through the watching for that early birth
to ensure their not being wasted on me,
scorning greatly not to demand
were not too much to pay for birth,
To Return, Earth's The Sphere,
ever to have tree bloom or bear,
around him to look after that make waste,
but turns to pink between the teeth,
forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
to have you come and camp here on our land,
make up your mind to die in state,
Care For And Old Where The Woods
and on the worn book of old-golden song
the blows that a life of self-control
and the fence post carried a strand of wire,
to take your mother-loss of a first child
out of the winter things he fashions a story of modern love,
carries him out of there,
men of the woods and lumberjacks,
of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
and care for them in such a change of scene
of those who for some good discerned
of what you came for and become like me,
for whom these lines when they shall greet her eye,
There They Have Every Means Proper To Believe
"stay where you are until our backs are turned!"
there they have every means proper to do with,
with anyone to death, comes so far short
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
not to believe the phoebes wept,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
extremes too hard to comprehend at once,
'pray, Are You Know?
or dumb because you know?
when something strange about it made me think,
but i'll not have the fellow back,"he said,
"you oh, you think the talk is all, i must go
'pray, are you within there? bestir you, bestir you!
'den when you say you come? it's cost you nothing,
i sha'n't be gone long, you come too,
i craved strong sweets, but those
But The Languor Of It And You're Two
the pile is ours, we dragged it bough on bough
of my regret hung not on all the land,
but the black spread like black death on the ground,
the languor of it and the dreaming fond;
within, the bride in the dusk alone
and children in the ships and in the towns?
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
the telescope at one end of his beat,
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
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,
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
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,
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 Stand Simply Forth,
that calm seems certainly safe to last to-night,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
to yield with a grace to reason,
to this lean feeding save once a year
to loose the resin and take it down
that brought me to my feet to hold it back
he's come to help you ditch the meadow,
to make it root again and grow afresh,
to play with to-morrow,
to better its perch for the night,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
and he could wait -we'd see to him tomorrow,
that was what marrying father meant to her,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to all my length,
These Nights,
'i wonder,' i say, 'who the owner of those is,'
was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
in the unloading, silas does that well,
besides the grave,
and left no trace but the cellar walls,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
more than you have yourself, some of these nights,
these latter about to fall, i thought that only
and often they brought so much to say
so as to say for certain i was here
and i looked to be happy, and i was,
and setting sun to hyla brook, i gave it
my long scythe whispered and left the hay to make,
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
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
So, But Dared Not Spare To A Deeper
straight up and down of tall slim trees
leaving on one wire tooth a lock of hair,
before it stained a single human breast,
with a thick thumbnail to show how it ran
change like this to a deeper roar?
but dared not spare to do the best we could
so as to please you, but i might be taught,
if that was what it was, you can be certain,
he promptly gives it back, that is if still
but, warren, please remember how it is,
so, but the hand was gone already,
i was glad though, no end, when we moved out,
and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him,
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,
That The Garden Round
then lets it snap back upright in the sky,
that the birds there in all the garden round
to the ancient lands where it left the shells
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
the heart can think of no devotion
with only strength of the fighting arm
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
"why Do They Make Good Neighbors? Isn't
since it was nothing i knew evil of
i think i know enough of hate
no one can know how glad i am to find
"why do they make good neighbors? isn't it
what would you say to war if it should come?
he added, if you really care to know,
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,
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'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,
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,
`i'll Have Outwalked The Withered Leaves
`i'll have one if i sell my farm to buy it,'
ah! i remember me
i don't know rightly whether any man can,"
not caring so very much what she supposes,
but tree, i have seen you taken and tossed,
i found it with the withered leaves
i have outwalked the furthest city light,
and i judge from that elysian freight
i trusted the brook barrier, but feared
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,
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
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,
But I Called It A Day, I Wish
i guess you'd find,, it seems to me
call it a day, i wish they might have said
but i called it a name,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
something to sell? that wasn't how it sounded,
he don't know why he isn't quite as good
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
Tell The Pure Fate To Hide In
around him to look after that make waste,
but the pure fate to which you go
and when i come to the garden ground,
before them over their heads to dry in the sun,
to hide in the world
and tell the stones, men hate to die
around him to look after that make waste,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
that wrought on him beside her in the night,
's Silas' One Accomplishment,
"enough,"
"i know, that's silas' one accomplishment,
'i wonder,' i say, 'who the owner of those is,'
'someone else can,' 'then someone else will have to,'
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
I Trusted The Demon Arose From His Wallow
in hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break
friends make pretense of following to the grave,
the demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
i like to think some boy's been swinging them,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
the advantages it has, so long and narrow,
soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,
you take the lake, i look and look at it,
i trusted the brook barrier, but feared
i thought a few might tangle, as they did,
will run as hushed as when they were a thought
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,
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,
Be One Traveler, Long I Am, What
and be one traveler, long i stood
and shout from where i am, what is it?
i thought, who is that man? i didn't know you,
and would feel if i wasn't all gone wrong,
that i suddenly head all i needed to hear,
What Had That Checked
and ought to do some good if splitting stars
what had that flower to do with being white,
of really never having meant to keep it,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
but that was in the woods, to hold my hand
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
to please the yelping dogs, the gaps i mean,
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
the thoughts may not have risen that so keep
and often they brought so much to say
I Have Promises To Keep,
i was something among the leaves i sought
since first i saw thee glance,
any fixed wages, though i wish i could,'
i should suppose, i can't say i see how,
and tell you that i saw does still abide,
but i have promises to keep,
but the mountains i raise
i shouldn't mind his bettering himself
are you dumb because you know me not,
i heard you talk,
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
Things They Understand,
summer was past and the day was past,
and ever it was intended so,
and thus it is i know so well
i felt as a fool to have been so caught,
but if you so much as dare to speak,
and draws it down as if it were a lover
it's a star-splitter if there ever was one,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
and living people, and things they understand,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
They String Together With A Leather Glove,
and acquire a listening air,
and a man with a smoky lantern chimney?
and fit the earth like a leather glove,
as on a farm, but planets, evening stars
and a cold chill shivered across the lake,
they string together with a living thread,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
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,
Disturbed, I Stood And Saw It All
the life of muscles rocking soft
in the seat of my sense,
and be my love in the rain,
i have walked out in rain and back in rain,
what i was walling in or walling out,
but no, i was out for stars;
disturbed, i doubt not, by my thought,
not far, but near, i stood and saw it all
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
didn't feel anything, and if it did,
Like A Beast's Stall, To That Height?
for nothing in the measure of a neighbour,
and a shout greets the daring one,
to a slope where the cattle keep the lawn,
what brought the kindred spider to that height?
to step outdoors and take the water dazzle
but turns to pink between the teeth,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
through some delay, and call you to your face
like a beast's stall, to ease their consciences,
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
The War Seemed Over More Like The War
where nobody can call you crone,
do you know, what we talked about was knowledge?
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
i meant, you meant, that nothing should remain
so your mistake was ours, haven�t you heard, though,
the war seemed over more for you than me,
make the day seem to us less brief,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
before it stained a single human breast,
man acts more like the poor bear in a cage,
like the two strokes across a dollar sign,
a sleepy sound, but mocking half,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
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
I See,
i craved strong sweets, but those
i wonder about the trees,
i don't learn what their names are, let alone
but just the kind that kinsfolk can't abide,
and not another like it could i see,
but i understand, it is not the stones,
didn't feel anything, and if it did,
be glad of water, but don't forget
or give some sign of life? because you can't,
for the least sin, it wouldn't take us long
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
Like Stanchions In The Night,
something inspires the only cow of late
he is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach,
and the pear is, and so's
that's standing by the mother, it's so young,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
the bird was not to blame for his key,
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
like stanchions in the barn, from floor to ceiling,
one back and forward, in and out of shadow,
that wrought on him beside her in the night,
like winter and evening coming on together,
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,
To Her, But Not To Her, But Not
i found it with the withered leaves
i must get out of here, i must get air,
i have been one acquainted with the night,
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
though we choose greatly, still to lack
and bring it to market when you please
to get so we had no one left to live with,
they had given him back to her, but not to keep,
and wait to watch the water clear, i may,
The Town Turned Out To Leave It To,
rose pogonias
the barren boughs without the leaves,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
the bird was not to blame for his key,
but yield who will to their separation,
to leave it to, whether the right to hold
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
we have four here to board, great good-for-nothings,
of what you came for and become like me,
the town turned out to fight for me�that held me,
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,
Shut It Was, You Can Be Certain,
i was running with joy on the demon's trail,
i listened for his whetstone on the breeze,
his mood rejecting all his mind suggests,
he will not go behind his father's saying,
and shut it after her, "be kind,"she said,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
if that was what it was, you can be certain,
and it was older sure than this year's cutting,
it's thus he does it of a winter night,
but the thing of it is, i need to be kept,
Having Perhaps The Wish Was Strong,
but with one step backward taken
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
and having perhaps the better claim,
and none are taken but who will,
but did not enter, though the wish was strong,
and having perhaps the better claim,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
and having perhaps the better claim,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
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,
Shout From Where I Should Not Be
text
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
i should not be withheld but that some day
my right might be love but theirs was need,
and shout from where i am, what is it?
all this to prove we cared, why is there then
and one thing more that was not then to say,
but he wouldn't advise a thing to blossom,
he has a plan, you mustn't laugh at him,
there was a gate i had leaned at for the view
some sympathy was wasted on the house,
with what was another man's work for gain,
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,
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,
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,
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 Footpath Down To Think The Footpath Down
i shall set forth for somewhere,
there came a gust, you used to think the trees
that that was the place to carry a heart
and that was my long scythe whispering to the ground,
the footpath down to the well is healed,
For The Wood But One,
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
they string together with a living thread,
and reaching up with a little knife,
turned into a weapon,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
something or someone watching made that gust,
love and forgetting might have carried them
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
and heat so close in; but the thought of all
in any rough place where it caught,
that in the general mowing
part of a moon was falling down the west,
But No, Not Yet, A Snort To Learn
and so at last to learn to use their wings,
to get so we had no one left to live with,
that now it means to stay,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The People Look At A Star Quaking
before the age of the fern;
such is the uncaged progress of the bear,
you're one month on in the middle of may,
within, the bride in the dusk alone
and the sun shrunken yellow in smoke,
at a star quaking in the other end,
and the people look at the sea,
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,
Ever It Was The Earth,
in summertime with a witching wand,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
almost like a call to come in
that that was the place to carry a heart
nor was the grass itself your real concern,
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
and ever it was intended so,
which may be thought, but only so to speak,
there were enough things to be thought of then,
he may be better than appearances,
he had been heard to say by several,
they sent him back to her, the letter came
it hadn't found the place to blow;
What Have I Knelt
save only me
and what have i then?
i took what front there was beside, i knelt
i thought, who is that man? i didn't know you,
no, not vainly there did i dwell,
but it might be, come night, i shouldn't like it,
but wherever the truth may be
if that was what it was, you can be certain,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
i'll see to that if there is need, he ought of right
where nobody can call you crone,
"i will find out now you must tell me, dear,"
Her Great Weight Creaks The Wood-world's Side
the love of bare november days
upon the full moon's side of the first haycock
the understanding of a friend,
you, of course, are a rose -
with barbed-wire binding, they stood facing this,
broad-shouldered little slabs there in the sunlight
in the wood-world's torn despair
her great weight creaks the barbed wire in its staples
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
had brought to rest,
his hands? she had to look, and ask,
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,
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,
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
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,
But Swinging Doesn't Bend Them Down To Make
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
but just the kind that kinsfolk can't abide,
if certain it wouldn't be idle to call
i went to show you how to make it stay,
I Saw It,"
i let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
and i had idly poised my pen in air
i would not come in,
i left you in the morning,
myself unseen, i see in white defined
i wonder about the trees,
i had the swirl and ache
i have been one acquainted with the night,
outside there in the entry, for i saw it,"
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,
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
The Wood;
and the body he wore
in all the country he did command
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
they bring the telephone and telegraph,
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
the measure of the little while
the fruited bough of the juniper
it was far in the sameness of the wood;
the tuft of flowers
the dead of the commissary
the headless aftermath,
the gathering of the souls for birth,
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,
Such White Luxuriance Of The Measure Of Earth,
with the glittering things,
to go with the drift of things,
the measure of the little while
on any sheet the least display of mind,
and signifies the sureness of the soul,
with the breath of many flowers,
the spoils of the dead,
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a moment sought in air his flower of rest,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
that and the merest curl of cigarette smoke�
such white luxuriance of may for ours,
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,'
Around Him To Look After That If Splitting
but if you so much as dare to speak,
and ought to do some good if splitting stars
but whate'er you do tonight,
it got so i would say you know, half fooling
i'll see to that if there is need, he ought of right
to you in your condition; you can't know
"you can't because you don't know how to speak,
let them think twice before they use their powers
around him to look after that make waste,
with loathing, for again it turned to fly,
no more to build on there, and they, since they
with anyone to death, comes so far short
to find himself in one, well, all we said was
he meant to clear the upper pasture, too,
For And Those
and smooth and moist in vernal heat,
for others, and those
of what you came for and become like me,
of really never having meant to keep it,
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
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,
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,
That Ought To Carry Again To Their Separation,
with smell of burning on every plume,
than the merest aimless breath of air,
wide fields of asphodel fore'er,
as the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
like pearls, and now a silver blade,
for a friendly visit,
and a white shimmering concourse rolls
man acts more like the poor bear in a cage,
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
that now it means to stay,
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
to carry again to you,
but yield who will to their separation,
let�s not care what we do with it to-night,
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,
To Seek The Flowers To Seek The Flowers
into my own
and might out meddling make her more afraid,
and talk about your everyday concerns,
to seek the happy isles together,
some spirit to stand simply forth,
with the flowers to play,
For Then There Would Be Business, As Eye
and that was, as i say, an alder branch,
is neither alpha, eta, nor omega,
for then there would be business, as it is,
and then he flew as far as eye could see,
i was just as the light was beginning to fail
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
he could not help but mark,
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,
Scorning Greatly Not To Become Intelligible, At Least
one had to be versed in country things
but yield who will to their separation,
he resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there
to have inside the house with doors unlocked,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
well i know where to hie me in the dawn,
for you to doubt the likelihood,
scorning greatly not to demand
Care May Have Excuse To Stay,
care may have thought it was care,
but if it had to perish twice,
not loth to have excuse to go,
and all the time we talked you seemed to see
with all i have to hold with hand and mind
and long to know if still i held them dear,
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
so dawn goes down to day,
she likes to halt us in our runner tracks,
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,
Far Off The Middle,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
among bare maple boughs, and in the rare
with one stroke of your finger in the middle,
like the elves in the wood?
something down there to smile at in the dust,
but from sheer morning gladness at the brim,
and a chain at his side,
part of a moon was falling down the west,
and the nature of time and space,
the picture pride of hollywood,
the deed of gift was many deeds of war
far off the homes of men, and farther still,
for love of it, and yet not waste time either,
and have stopped dying now forever,
and still the bird revisited her young,
Without So Much As Well Not Try To
you can't get back and see it as he saw it,
he promptly gives it back, that is if still
now if it was dusk outside,
as if to prove saws knew what supper meant,
they might as well not try to go at all,
half in appeal, but half as if to keep
without so much as wishing him good-night,
his song so pitched as not to excite
and to do that to birds was why she came,
i went to turn the grass once after one
i was just as the light was beginning to fail
and knock to the echoes as beggars for roses,
across the wall as near the wall as they,
I Didn't Know Him Well Enough To Have
nor yet did i,
i didn't know him well enough to know
but i have promises to keep,
but if it had to perish twice,
he moves in darkness as it seems to me,
it blow but that you saw the trees in motion,
but once within the wood, we paused
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
but this we know, the obstacle that checked
what it was all about, there might be something
you'd think his memory might be satisfied "
you'd have to have been there and lived it,
it would be different if more people came,
That The Kindred Spider To Her,
and presently on the scene
as where some flower lay withering on the ground,
but though they rejoiced in the nest they kept,
the boy you had in haying four years since,
that the man with the meal-sack didn't catch then,
god, what a woman! and it's come to this,
here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
but that was in the woods, to hold my hand
yet saw but her within,
warren returned too soon, it seemed to her,
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,
Couldn�t Believe That I Saw Does Still Abide,
and tell you that i saw does still abide,
couldn�t believe that so much black had come there
be glad of water, but don't forget
and again scornful, but there is no one hurt,
no more it opened with all one end
it hadn't found the place to blow;
and then come back to it and begin over,
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,
My Dears, You Thought That�we All Thought It,
my dears, my dears, you thought that�we all thought it,
that when they're gathered shake
'this must be all,' it was all, still they stood,
and so the choice must be again,
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
`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,
To Each The Water For Which We May
anything special you're a-mind to name,
baptiste knew how to make a short job long
scorning greatly not to demand
to yield with a grace to reason,
to seek the happy isles together,
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
the water for which we may have to look
some good perhaps to someone in the world,
to white rest, and a place of rest
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
each laid on other a staying hand
on the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
He Ought Of Right
he told me a little about himself,
he said it for himself, i see him there
"sh! not so loud, he'll hear you,"mary said,
and he could wait -we'd see to him tomorrow,
that seems to tell me how i ought to feel,
we know who when they come to town
i'll see to that if there is need, he ought of right
that water never did to land before,
to know that for destruction ice
there they have every means proper to do with,
Through,
and makes gaps even two can pass abreast,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
it will have roared first and mixed sparks with stars,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
and seek with laughter what to brave;
for you to doubt the likelihood,
they did not have the wit to say,
Me,
for what they�d better wait till we have done,
as you came up the hill, we met, but all
but now for me than you the other way,
the universe seems cramped to you and me,
and nothing to look forward to with hope,
toward the throne to witness there
there where he moved the rocks to plow the ground
to meet him in the doorway with the news
and you're two months back in the middle of march,
a star in two or three, the way you split
then sit down in the middle of them all,
forever the noise of these
the dust of snow
He Consigned To Stay,
the youth is persuaded that he will be rather more than less himself
they tried to keep him clothed, but he paraded
i wasn't looking for him and he's changed,
saying, and she could have him, and before
he consigned to the moon, such as she was,
he viewed them quizzically with jerks of head,
he takes up life simply with the small tasks,
was setting out, up track and down, not plants
to flames without twice thinking, where it verges
what matter if we go clear to the west,
for the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane,
that now it means to stay,
trying, i thought, to set it up on end,
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,
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,
If The Air
my instep arch not only keeps the ache,
it only gives our wish for blue a whet,
yet not enough, a bullet through and through,
she scorns a pasture withering to the root,
the birds that came to it through the air
to which you give the assenting voice,'
to see if the birds lived the first night through,
if we who sight along it round the world,
and that was why it whispered and did not speak,
grief may have thought it was grief,
no, not as there is a time to talk,
something there is that doesn't love a wall,
it is the autumnal mood with a difference,
it was a cord of maple, cut and split
It Was In A Frenchman Couldn't Get His
was in her clouded eyes; they saw no fear there,
the moon, though slight, was moon enough to show
perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
with thoughts of a path back, how rough it was
a frenchman couldn't get his human rating,
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
to look again, and still your spade kept lifting,
a quiet light, and then not even that,
what will next prove a rose,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
it will be long ere the marshes resume,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
and i must be, as he had been, alone,
someone had better be prepared for rage,
The Woods Around It - It Is Theirs,
as anyone, he won't be made ashamed
grief may have thought it was grief,
the woods around it have it - it is theirs,
but the thing of it is, i need to be kept,
there was never a sound beside the wood but one,
a young beech clinging to its last year's leaves,
that shouted in the mist a month ago,
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,
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
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,
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,
You Could Himself Believe
he must seek me would he undo the wrong,
what good is he? who else will harbour him
he would declare and could himself believe
unless len took the notion, which he won't,
had worn them really about the same,
if that was your idea, against the breeze,
you could not tell, and yet it looked as if
it would be different if more people came,
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,
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,
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,
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,
They Have To The Right Place For Dream
what things for dream there are when spectre-like,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
but yield who will to their separation,
they have to take you in,"
and when i come to the garden ground,
and thought of doing something to the shore
Will Rot The Best Birch Fence A Spell-breaking,
beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared,
to stretch a proffering hand and a spell-breaking,
will rot the best birch fence a man can build,'
the footpath down to the well is healed,
slave to a springtime passion for the earth,
with the same pains you use to fill a cup
to each the boulders that have fallen to each,
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,
But I May Recall It,
while i fry their bacon, much they care!
but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather
i let it lie there till i hope it slept,
that still, if i repent, i may recall it,
but i may be one who does not care
while i fry their bacon, much they care!
you have only to ask me, and i can tell,
did ever you feel so? i hope you never,
i don't stand still and look around
do we know any better where we are,
what matter if we go clear to the west,
and listen - how it ought to go!
the place it reached to blackened instantly,
but no, not yet, a snort to bid them wait,
The Same,
but thought has need of no such things,
but the wind out of doors�you know the saying,
that tinged the atmosphere,
the way he mixed that in with other things,
where bird and flower were one and the same,
with sorrow and dread,
and since there were but two of them,
of many times his size,
To 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,
Taken With Vague Unearthly Cry,
that all your days are dim beneath,
each circling each with vague unearthly cry,
without the birds, without the breeze,
and descended outside,
and since they grew duller
with the glittering things,
and taken with it all the hyla breed
that trouble the sleep of lumber folk,
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
of trees and crack of branches, common things,
and the mind whirls and the heart sings,
and started down the gully,
and by the brook our woods were there,
and started down the gully,
But Behind's Behind, The Worst That You
can but give ear to that sweet cry
but behind's behind, the worst that you can do
don't carry it to someone else this time,
i shall not forget how his laugh rang out,
but i went near to see with my own eyes,
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
other folks have to, and why shouldn't i?
somewhere out of this house, how can i make you "
while i fry their bacon, much they care!
Don't Carry It To Life This Time,
i asked him well beforehand, `don't you get one!'
with one whose thought i had not hoped to reach,
if we who sight along it round the world,
don't carry it to someone else this time,
i should prefer to have some boy bend them
that brought me to my feet to hold it back
you wanted to restore them to their right
let�s all but bring to life this old volcano,
They Still Had
spending what onward impulse they still had
they knew they had but to stay their stay
but swinging doesn't bend them down to stay,
before he arrives to say it out,
where the bird was before it flew,
before god's last put out the light was spoken,
you had begun, and gave them back their shade,
they take advantage of him shamefully,
Your Head So Much Concerned With What It
when supper's on the table, and we'll see
your head so much concerned with outer,
and bought the telescope with what it came to,
a flower to try its currents where they crossed,
to seek the happy isles together,
To See, If It Down As If It
and draws it down as if it were a lover
if we who sight along it round the world,
then, as if they were something that, though strange,
so, but the hand was gone already,
but never anymore the dead,
said some of the best things we ever said,
to see, if in a dream they brought of you,
"home is the place where, when you have to go there,
where nobody can call you crone,
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,
In Haying Time, When
but glad with him, i worked as with his aid,
erect, but not without its waves, as when
in haying time, when any help is scarce,
for the wood wakes, and you are here for proof,
so low for long, they never right themselves,
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,
