-The Soul selects her own Society – 
-Then – shuts the Door +303 The Soul selects her own Society
-To her divine Majority +304 The Day came slow – till Five o'clock
-Present no more –+305 The difference between Despair
-Unmoved – she notes the Chariots – pausing –+306 The Soul's Superior instants
-At her low Gate +307 The One who could repeat the Summer day
-Unmoved an Emperor be kneeling+308 I send Two Sunsets
-Upon her Mat +309 For largest Woman's Hearth I knew
-I've known her – from an ample nation –+310 Give little Anguish -
-Choose One –+311 It sifts from Leaden Sieves -
-Then – close the Valves of her attention –+312 Her - “last Poems“ -
-Like Stone --+313 I should have been too glad, I see -
 +314 Nature – sometimes sears a Sapling -
-304+315 He fumbles at your Soul
-The Day came slow – till Five o'clock +316 The Wind didn't come from the Orchard – today
-Then sprang before the Hills+317 Just so – Jesus – raps –
-Like Hindered Rubies – or the Light+318 I'll tell you how the Sun rose –
-A Sudden Musket spills +319 The nearest Dream recedes unrealized
 +320 We play at Paste –
-The Purple could not keep the East –+321 Of all the Sounds despatched abroad,
-The Sunrise shook abroad+322 There came a Day at Summer's full,
-Like Breadths of Topaz – packed a Night –+325 Of Tribulation, these are They,
-The Lady just unrolled +326 I cannot dance upon my Toes
 +327 Before I got my eye put out
-The Happy Winds – their Timbrels took +328 A Bird came down the Walk
-The Birds in docile Rows+329 So glad we are a Stranger'd deem
-Arranged themselves around their Prince+330 The Juggler's Hat her Country is –
-The Wind – is Prince of Those +331 While Asters
 +332 There are two Ripenings – one – of sight –
-The Orchard sparkled like a Jew +333 The Grass so little has to do
-How mighty 'twas – to be+334 All the letters I can write
-A Guest in this stupendous place +335 'Tis not that Dying hurts us so
-The Parlor of the Day --+336 The face I carry with me – last
 +337 I know a place where Summer strives
-305+338 I know that He exists.
-The difference between Despair+339 I tend my flowers for thee –
-And Fear – is like the One 
-Between the instant of a Wreck –+340 Is Bliss then, such Abyss,
-And when the Wreck has been – 
 +341 After great pain, a formal feeling comes –
-The Mind is smooth – no Motion – 
-Contented as the Eye+342 It will be Summer – eventually.
-Upon the Forehead of a Bust – 
-That knows – it cannot see –+343 My Reward for Being, was This.
-306+344 'Twas the old – road – through pain –
-The Soul's Superior instants+345 Funny – to be a Century –
-Occur to Her alone +346 Not probable The barest Chance
-When friend and Earth's occasion+347 When Night is almost done
-Have infinite withdrawn –+348 I dreaded that first Robin, so,
 +500 Within my Garden, rides a Bird
-Or She – Herself – ascended+501 This World is not Conclusion.
-To too remote a Height+502 At least – to pray – is left – is left –
-For lower Recognition 
-Than Her Omnipotent +503 Better – than Music! For I – who heard it
-This Mortal Abolition+504 You know that Portrait in the Moon –
-Is seldom – but as fair 
-As Apparition subject+505 I would not paint – a picture
-To Autocratic Air – 
 +506 He touched me, so I live to know
-Eternity's disclosure+507 She sights a Bird – she chuckles –
-To favorites a few +508 I'm ceded I've stopped being Theirs
-Of the Colossal substance 
-Of Immortality+509 If anybody's friend be dead
-307+510 It was not Death, for I stood up,
-The One who could repeat the Summer day –+511 If you were coming in the Fall,
-Were greater than itself – though 
-He Minutest of Mankind should be +512 The Soul has Bandaged moments
 +513 Like Flowers, that heard the news of Dews,
-And He – could reproduce the Sun – 
-At period of going down +514 Her smile was shaped like other smiles
-The Lingering – and the Stain – I mean – 
 +515 No Crowd that has occurred Exhibit –
-When Orient have been outgrown 
-And Occident become Unknown +516 Beauty be not caused – It Is
-His Name – remain -- 
 +517 He parts Himself – like Leaves –
-308 
-I send Two Sunsets – 
-Day and I – in competition ran –+518 Her sweet Weight on my Heart a Night
-I finished Two – and several Stars – 
-While He was making One +519 'Twas warm at first – like Us
 +520 I started Early - Took my Dog -
-His own was ampler but as I+521 Endow the Living – with the Tears
-Was saying to a friend +522 Had I presumed to hope
-Mine – is the more convenient 
-To Carry in the Hand --+523 Sweet – You forgot – but I remembered
 +524 Departed – to the Judgment –
 +525 I think the Hemlock likes to stand
-309 
-For largest Woman's Hearth I knew –+526 To hear an Oriole sing
-'Tis little I can do – 
-And yet the largest Woman's Heart+527 To put this World down, like a Bundle –
-Could hold an Arrow – too +528 Mine by the Right of the White Election!
-And so, instructed by my own,+529 I'm sorry for the Dead – Today –
-I tenderer, turn Me to.+530 You cannot put a Fire out –
 +531 We dream – it is good we are dreaming –
 +532 I tried to think a lonelier Thing
 +533 Two butterflies went out at Noon –
-310+534 We see – Comparatively –
-Give little Anguish -+535 She's happy, with a new Content –
-Lives will fret - 
-Give Avalanches -+536 The Heart asks Pleasure – first –
-And they'll slant - 
-Straighten look cautious for their Breath -+537 Me prove it now Whoever doubt
-But make no syllable – like Death - 
-Who only shows his Marble Disc - 
-Sublimer sort than Speech -+538 'Tis true – They shut me in the Cold
-c.1862 
-1924 
 +539 The Province of the Saved
-311+540 I took my Power in my Hand –
 +541 Some such Butterfly be seen
-It sifts from Leaden Sieves - 
-It powders all the Wood.+542 I had no Cause to be awake –
-It fills with Alabaster Wool 
-The Wrinkles of the Road -+543 I fear a Man of frugal Speech –
 +544 The Martyr Poets – did not tell –
-It makes an Even Face+545 'Tis One by One – the Father counts –
-Of Mountain, and of Plain -+546 To fill a Gap
-Unbroken Forehead from the East+547 I've seen a Dying Eye
-Unto the East again -+548 Death is potential to that Man
 +549 That I did always love
-It reaches to the Fence+550 I cross till I am weary
-It wraps it Rail by Rail -+551 There is a Shame of Nobleness –
-Till it is lost in Fleeces -+552 An ignorance a Sunset
-It deals Celestial Vail+553 One Crucifixion is recorded – only –
 +554
-To Stump, and Stack - and Stem -+The Black Berry – wears a Thorn in his side –
-A Summer's empty Room - 
-Acres of Joints, where Harvests were,+555 Trust in the Unexpected –
-Recordless, but for them - 
 +556 The Brain, within its Groove
-It Ruffles Wrists of Posts+557 She hideth Her the last –
-As Ankles of a Queen - 
-Then stills its Artisans - like Ghosts -+558 But little Carmine hath her face –
-Denying they have been -+559 It knew no Medicine –
-c.1862 
-1891+560 It knew no lapse, nor Diminuation –
 +561 I measure every Grief I meet
-312+562 Conjecturing a Climate
-Her - “last Poems“ -+563 I could not prove the Years had feet –
-Poets ended -+564 My period had come for Prayer
-Silver perished with her Tongue -+565 One Anguish in a Crowd
-Not on Record – bubbled other, 
-Flute or Woman -+566 A Dying Tiger – moaned for Drink
-So divine - 
-Not unto its Summer Morning+567 He gave away his Life
-Robin – uttered Half the Tune - 
-Gushed too free for the Adoring -+568 We learned the Whole of Love –
-From the Anglo-Florentine - 
-Late the Praise -+569 I reckon – when I count it all
-'Tis dull – conferring 
-On the Head too High to Crown -+ [[Category: Concours - Archives]]

- +
-Of Life's penurious Round -+
- +
-My little Circuit would have shamed+
- +
-This new Circumference - have blamed -+
- +
-The homelier time behind.+

-He fumbles at your Soul+
- +
-As Players at the Keys+
- +
-Before they drop full Music on -+
- +
-He stuns you by degrees -+
- +
-Prepares your brittle Nature+

- +
-Further than that – +
- +
-Nor stop to play with the Hay – +
- +
-Nor joggle a Hat – +
- +
-He's a transitive fellow – very – +
- +
-Rely on that – +
- +
- +
- +
-If He leave a Bur at the door +
- +
-We know He has climbed a Fir – +
- +
-But the Fir is Where – Declare – +
- +
-Were you ever there? +
- +
- +
- +
-If He brings Odors of Clovers – +
- +
-And that is His business – not Ours – +
- +
-Then He has been with the Mowers – +
- +
-Whetting away the Hours +
- +
-To sweet pauses of Hay – +
- +
-His Way – of a June Day – +
- +
- +
- +
-If He fling Sand, and Pebble – +
- +
-Little Boys Hats – and Stubble – +
- +
-With an occasional Steeple – +
- +
-And a hoarse "Get out of the way, +
- +
-I say," Who'd be the fool to stay? +
- +
-Would you – Say – +
- +
-Would you be the fool to stay?+
- +

-He – doesn't weary – +

-When He – retires – +
- +
-Chilled – or weary – +

-I'll tell you how the Sun rose – +
- +
-A Ribbon at a time – +
- +
-The Steeples swam in Amethyst – +
- +
-The news, like Squirrels, ran – +
- +
-The Hills untied their Bonnets – +
- +
-The Bobolinks – begun – +
- +
-Then I said softly to myself – +
- +
-"That must have been the Sun"! +
- +
-But how he set – I know not – +
- +
-There seemed a purple stile +
- +
-That little Yellow boys and girls +
- +
-Were climbing all the while – +
- +
-Till when they reached the other side, +
- +
-A Dominie in Gray – +
- +
-Put gently up the evening Bars – +
- +
-And led the flock away –+

-The nearest Dream recedes – unrealized – +
- +
-The Heaven we chase, +
- +
-Like the June Bee – before the School Boy, +
- +
-Invites the Race – +
- +
-Stoops – to an easy Clover – +
- +
-Dips – evades – teases – deploys – +
- +
-Then – to the Royal Clouds +
- +
-Lifts his light Pinnace – +
- +
-Heedless of the Boy – +
- +
-Staring – bewildered – at the mocking sky – +
- +
-Homesick for steadfast Honey – +
- +
-Ah, the Bee flies not +
- +
-That brews that rare variety!+

- +
-We play at Paste – +
- +
-Till qualified, for Pearl – +
- +
-Then, drop the Paste – +
- +
-And deem ourself a fool –+
- +
- +
- +
-The Shapes – though – were similar – +
- +
-And our new Hands +
- +
-Learned Gem-Tactics – +
- +
-Practicing Sands –+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-321+
- +
-Of all the Sounds despatched abroad, +
- +
-There's not a Charge to me +
- +
-Like that old measure in the Boughs – +
- +
-That phraseless Melody – +
- +
-The Wind does – working like a Hand, +
- +
-Whose fingers Comb the Sky – +
- +
-Then quiver down – with tufts of Tune – +
- +
-Permitted Gods, and me – +
- +
- +
- +
-Inheritance, it is, to us – +
- +
-Beyond the Art to Earn – +
- +
-Beyond the trait to take away +
- +
-By Robber, since the Gain +
- +
-Is gotten not of fingers – +
- +
-And inner than the Bone – +
- +
-Hid golden, for the whole of Days, +
- +
-And even in the Urn, +
- +
-I cannot vouch the merry Dust +
- +
-Do not arise and play +
- +
-In some odd fashion of its own, +
- +
-Some quainter Holiday, +
- +
-When Winds go round and round in Bands – +
- +
-And thrum upon the door, +
- +
-And Birds take places, overhead, +
- +
-To bear them Orchestra. +
- +
- +
- +
-I crave Him grace of Summer Boughs, +
- +
-If such an Outcast be – +
- +
-Who never heard that fleshless Chant – +
- +
-Rise – solemn – on the Tree, +
- +
-As if some Caravan of Sound +
- +
-Off Deserts, in the Sky, +
- +
-Had parted Rank, +
- +
-Then knit, and swept – +
- +
-In Seamless Company –+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-322+
- +
-There came a Day at Summer's full, +
- +
-Entirely for me – +
- +
-I thought that such were for the Saints, +
- +
-Where Resurrections – be – +
- +
- +
- +
-The Sun, as common, went abroad, +
- +
-The flowers, accustomed, blew, +
- +
-As if no soul the solstice passed +
- +
-That maketh all things new – +
- +
- +
- +
-The time was scarce profaned, by speech – +
- +
-The symbol of a word +
- +
-Was needless, as at Sacrament, +
- +
-The Wardrobe – of our Lord – +
- +
- +
- +
-Each was to each The Sealed Church, +
- +
-Permitted to commune this – time – +
- +
-Lest we too awkward show +
- +
-At Supper of the Lamb. +
- +
- +
- +
-The Hours slid fast – as Hours will, +
- +
-Clutched tight, by greedy hands – +
- +
-So faces on two Decks, look back, +
- +
-Bound to opposing lands – +
- +
- +
- +
-And so when all the time had leaked, +
- +
-Without external sound +
- +
-Each bound the Other's Crucifix – +
- +
-We gave no other Bond – +
- +
- +
- +
-Sufficient troth, that we shall rise – +
- +
-Deposed – at length, the Grave – +
- +
-To that new Marriage, +
- +
-Justified – through Calvaries of Love –+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-323 +
- +
-As if I asked a common Alms, +
- +
-And in my wondering hand +
- +
-A Stranger pressed a Kingdom, +
- +
-And I, bewildered, stand – +
- +
-As if I asked the Orient +
- +
-Had it for me a Morn – +
- +
-And it should lift its purple Dikes, +
- +
-And shatter me with Dawn!+
- +
- +

-Of Tribulation, these are They, +
- +
-Denoted by the White – +
- +
-The Spangled Gowns, a lesser +
- +
-Rank Of Victors – designate – +
- +
- +
- +
-All these – did conquer – +
- +
-But the ones who overcame most times – +
- +
-Wear nothing commoner than Snow – +
- +
-No Ornament, but Palms – +
- +
- +
- +
-Surrender – is a sort unknown – +
- +
-On this superior soil – +
- +
-Defeat – an outgrown Anguish – +
- +
-Remembered, as the Mile +
- +
- +
- +
-Our panting Ankle barely passed – +
- +
-When Night devoured the Road – +
- +
-But we – stood whispering in the House – +
- +
-And all we said – was "Saved"!+

-I cannot dance upon my Toes – +
- +
-No Man instructed me – +
- +
-But oftentimes, among my mind, +
- +
-A Glee possesseth me, +
- +
- +
- +
-That had I Ballet knowledge –+
- +
-Would put itself abroad +
- +
-In Pirouette to blanch a Troupe – +
- +
-Or lay a Prima, mad, +
- +
- +
- +
-And though I had no Gown of Gauze – +
- +
-No Ringlet, to my Hair, +
- +
-Nor hopped to Audiences – like Birds, +
- +
-One Claw upon the Air, +
- +
- +
- +
-Nor tossed my shape in Eider Balls, +
- +
-Nor rolled on wheels of snow +
- +
-Till I was out of sight, in sound, +
- +
-The House encore me so – +
- +
- +
- +
-Nor any know I know the Art +

-Before I got my eye put out +
- +
-I liked as well to see – +
- +
-As other Creatures, that have Eyes +
- +
-And know no other way – +
- +
- +
- +
-But were it told to me – Today – +
- +
-That I might have the sky +
- +
-For mine – I tell you that my Heart +
- +
-Would split, for size of me – +
- +
- +
- +
-The Meadows – mine – +
- +
-The Mountains – mine – +
- +
-All Forests – Stintless Stars – +
- +
-As much of Noon as I could take +
- +
-Between my finite eyes – +
- +
- +
- +
-The Motions of the Dipping Birds – +
- +
-The Morning's Amber Road – +
- +
-For mine – to look at when I liked – +
- +
-The News would strike me dead – +
- +
- +
- +
-So safer – guess – with just my soul +
- +
-Upon the Window pane – +
- +
-Where other Creatures put their eyes – +
- +
-Incautious – of the Sun –+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +

- +
-A Bird came down the Walk – +
- +
-He did not know I saw – +
- +
-He bit an Angleworm in halves +
- +
-And ate the fellow, raw, +
- +
- +
- +
-And then he drank a Dew +
- +
-From a convenient Grass – +
- +
-And then hopped sidewise to the Wall +
- +
-To let a Beetle pass – +
- +
- +
- +
-He glanced with rapid eyes +
- +
-That hurried all around – +
- +
-They looked like frightened Beads, I thought – +
- +
-He stirred his Velvet Head +
- +
- +
- +
-Like one in danger, Cautious, +
- +
-I offered him a Crumb +
- +
-And he unrolled his feathers +
- +
-And rowed him softer home – +
- +
- +
- +
-Than Oars divide the Ocean, +
- +
-Too silver for a seam – +
- +
-Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon +
- +
-Leap, plashless as they swim.+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-329+
- +
-So glad we are – a Stranger'd deem +
- +
-'Twas sorry, that we were – +
- +
-For where the Holiday should be +
- +
-There publishes a Tear – +
- +
-Nor how Ourselves be justified – +
- +
-Since Grief and Joy are done +
- +
-So similar – An Optizan +
- +
-Could not decide between –+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-330+
- +
-The Juggler's Hat her Country is – +
- +
-The Mountain Gorse – the Bee's!+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-331+
- +
-While Asters – +
- +
-On the Hill – +
- +
-Their Everlasting fashions – set – +
- +
-And Covenant Gentians – Frill!+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-332+
- +
-There are two Ripenings – one – of sight – +
- +
-Whose forces Spheric wind +
- +
-Until the Velvet product +
- +
-Drop spicy to the ground – +
- +
-A homelier maturing – +
- +
-A process in the Bur – +
- +
-That teeth of Frosts alone disclose +
- +
-In far October Air.+
- +
- +
- +
-333+
- +
-The Grass so little has to do – +
- +
-A Sphere of simple Green – +
- +
-With only Butterflies to brood +
- +
-And Bees to entertain – +
- +
- +
- +
-And stir all day to pretty Tunes +
- +
-The Breezes fetch along – +
- +
-And hold the Sunshine in its lap +
- +
-And bow to everything – +
- +
- +
- +
-And thread the Dews, all night, like Pearls – +
- +
-And make itself so fine +
- +
-A Duchess were too common +
- +
-For such a noticing – +
- +
- +
- +
-And even when it dies – to pass +
- +
-In Odors so divine – +
- +
-Like Lowly spices, lain to sleep – +
- +
-Or Spikenards, perishing – +
- +
- +
- +
-And then, in Sovereign Barns to dwell – +
- +
-And dream the Days away, +
- +
-The Grass so little has to do +
- +
-I wish I were a Hay –+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-334+
- +
-All the letters I can write +
- +
-Are not fair as this – +
- +
-Syllables of Velvet – +
- +
-Sentences of Plush, +
- +
-Depths of Ruby, undrained, +
- +
-Hid, Lip, for Thee – +
- +
-Play it were a Humming Bird – +
- +
-And just sipped – me –+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-335+
- +
-'Tis not that Dying hurts us so – +
- +
-'Tis Living – hurts us more – +
- +
-But Dying – is a different way – +
- +
-A Kind behind the Door – +
- +
- +
- +
-The Southern Custom – of the Bird – +
- +
-That ere the Frosts are due – +
- +
-Accepts a better Latitude – +
- +
-We – are the Birds – that stay. +
- +
- +
- +
-The Shrivers round Farmers' doors – +
- +
-For whose reluctant Crumb – +
- +
-We stipulate – till pitying +
- +
-Snows Persuade our Feathers Home.+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-336+
- +
-The face I carry with me – last – +
- +
-When I go out of Time – +
- +
-To take my Rank – by – in the West – +
- +
-That face – will just be thine – +
- +
- +
- +
-I'll hand it to the Angel – +
- +
-That – Sir – was my Degree – +
- +
-In Kingdoms – you have heard the Raised – +
- +
-Refer to – possibly. +
- +
- +
- +
-He'll take it – scan it – step aside – +
- +
-Return – with such a crown +
- +
-As Gabriel – never capered at – +
- +
-And beg me put it on – +
- +
- +
- +
-And then – he'll turn me round and round – +
- +
-To an admiring sky – +
- +
-As one that bore her Master's name – +
- +
-Sufficient Royalty!+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-337 +
- +
-I know a place where Summer strives +
- +
-With such a practised Frost – +
- +
-She – each year – leads her Daisies back – +
- +
-Recording briefly – "Lost" – +
- +
- +
- +
-But when the South Wind stirs the Pools +
- +
-And struggles in the lanes – +
- +
-Her Heart misgives Her, for Her Vow – +
- +
-And she pours soft Refrains +
- +
- +
- +
-Into the lap of Adamant – +
- +
-And spices – and the Dew – +
- +
-That stiffens quietly to Quartz – +
- +
-Upon her Amber Shoe –+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-338+
- +
-I know that He exists. +
- +
-Somewhere – in Silence – +
- +
-He has hid his rare life +
- +
-From our gross eyes. +
- +
- +
- +
-'Tis an instant's play. +
- +
-'Tis a fond Ambush – +
- +
-Just to make Bliss +
- +
-Earn her own surprise! +
- +
- +
- +
-But – should the play +
- +
-Prove piercing earnest – +
- +
-Should the glee – glaze – +
- +
-In Death's – stiff – stare – +
- +
- +
- +
-Would not the fun +
- +
-Look too expensive! +
- +
-Would not the jest – +
- +
-Have crawled too far!+
- +
- +
- +
-339+
- +
-I tend my flowers for thee – +
- +
-Bright Absentee! +
- +
-My Fuchsia's Coral Seams +
- +
-Rip – while the Sower – dreams – +
- +
- +
- +
-Geraniums – tint – and spot – +
- +
-Low Daisies – dot – +
- +
-My Cactus – splits her Beard +
- +
-To show her throat – +
- +
- +
- +
-Carnations – tip their spice – +
- +
-And Bees – pick up – +
- +
-A Hyacinth – I hid – +
- +
-Puts out a Ruffled Head – +
- +
-And odors fall +
- +
-From flasks – so small – +
- +
-You marvel how they held – +
- +
- +
- +
-Globe Roses – break their satin glake – +
- +
-Upon my Garden floor – +
- +
-Yet – thou – not there – +
- +
-I had as lief they bore +
- +
-No Crimson – more – +
- +
- +
- +
-Thy flower – be gay – +
- +
-Her Lord – away! +
- +
-It ill becometh me – +
- +
-I'll dwell in Calyx – +
- +
-Gray – How modestly – alway – +
- +
-Thy Daisy – +
- +
-Draped for thee!+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-340 +
- +
-Is Bliss then, such Abyss, +
- +
-I must not put my foot amiss +
- +
-For fear I spoil my shoe? +
- +
- +
- +
-I'd rather suit my foot +
- +
-Than save my Boot – +
- +
-For yet to buy another Pair +
- +
-Is possible, +
- +
-At any store – +
- +
- +
- +
-But Bliss, is sold just once. +
- +
-The Patent lost +
- +
-None buy it any more – +
- +
-Say, Foot, decide the point – +
- +
-The Lady cross, or not? +
- +
-Verdict for Boot!+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-341+
- +
-After great pain, a formal feeling comes – +
- +
-The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs – +
- +
-The stiff Heart questions was it +
- +
-He, that bore, And Yesterday, or Centuries before? +
- +
- +
- +
-The Feet, mechanical, go round – +
- +
-Of Ground, or Air, or Ought – +
- +
-A Wooden way +
- +
-Regardless grown, +
- +
-A Quartz contentment, like a stone – +
- +
- +
- +
-This is the Hour of Lead – +
- +
-Remembered, if outlived, +
- +
-As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow – +
- +
-First – Chill – then Stupor – then the letting go –+
- +
- +
- +
-342+
- +
-It will be Summer – eventually. +
- +
-Ladies – with parasols – +
- +
-Sauntering Gentlemen – with Canes – +
- +
-And little Girls – with Dolls – +
- +
- +
- +
-Will tint the pallid landscape – +
- +
-As 'twere a bright Bouquet – +
- +
-Thro' drifted deep, in Parian – +
- +
-The Village lies – today – +
- +
- +
- +
-The Lilacs – bending many a year – +
- +
-Will sway with purple load – +
- +
-The Bees – will not despise the tune – +
- +
-Their Forefathers – have hummed – +
- +
- +
- +
-The Wild Rose – redden in the Bog – +
- +
-The Aster – on the Hill +
- +
-Her everlasting fashion – set – +
- +
-And Covenant Gentians – frill – +
- +
- +
- +
-Till Summer folds her miracle – +
- +
-As Women – do – their Gown – +
- +
-Of Priests – adjust the Symbols – +
- +
-When Sacrament – is done –+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-343+
- +
-My Reward for Being, was This. +
- +
-My premium – My Bliss – +
- +
-An Admiralty, less – +
- +
-A Sceptre – penniless – +
- +
-And Realms – just Dross – +
- +
- +
- +
-When Thrones accost my Hands – +
- +
-With "Me, Miss, Me" – +
- +
-I'll unroll Thee – +
- +
-Dominions dowerless – beside this Grace – +
- +
-Election – Vote – +
- +
-The Ballots of Eternity, will show just that.+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-344+
- +
-'Twas the old – road – through pain – +
- +
-That unfrequented – one – +
- +
-With many a turn – and thorn – +
- +
-That stops – at Heaven – +
- +
- +
- +
-This – was the Town – she passed – +
- +
-There – where she – rested – last – +
- +
-Then – stepped more fast – +
- +
-The little tracks – close prest – +
- +
-Then – not so swift – +
- +
-Slow – slow – as feet did weary – grow – +
- +
-Then – stopped – no other track! +
- +
- +
- +
-Wait! Look! Her little Book – +
- +
-The leaf – at love – turned back – +
- +
-Her very Hat – +
- +
-And this worn shoe just fits the track – +
- +
-Herself – though – fled! +
- +
- +
- +
-Another bed – a short one – +
- +
-Women make – tonight – +
- +
-In Chambers bright – +
- +
-Too out of sight – though – +
- +
-For our hoarse Good Night – +
- +
-To touch her Head!+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-345+
- +
-Funny – to be a Century – +
- +
-And see the People – going by – +
- +
-I – should die of the Oddity – +
- +
-But then – I'm not so staid – as He – +
- +
- +
- +
-He keeps His Secrets safely – very – +
- +
-Were He to tell – extremely sorry +
- +
-This Bashful Globe of Ours would be – +
- +
-So dainty of Publicity –+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-346+
- +
-Not probable – The barest Chance – +
- +
-A smile too few – a word too much +
- +
-And far from Heaven as the Rest – +
- +
-The Soul so close on Paradise – +
- +
- +
- +
-What if the Bird from journey far – +
- +
-Confused by Sweets – as Mortals – are – +
- +
-Forget the secret of His wing +
- +
-And perish – but a Bough between – +
- +
-Oh, Groping feet – Oh Phantom Queen!+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-347+
- +
-When Night is almost done – +
- +
-And Sunrise grows so near +
- +
-That we can touch the Spaces – +
- +
-It's time to smooth the Hair – +
- +
- +
- +
-And get the Dimples ready – +
- +
-And wonder we could care +
- +
-For that old – faded Midnight – +
- +
-That frightened – but an Hour –+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-348+
- +
-I dreaded that first Robin, so, +
- +
-But He is mastered, now, +
- +
-I'm accustomed to Him grown, +
- +
-He hurts a little, though – +
- +
- +
- +
-I thought If I could only live +
- +
-Till that first Shout got by – +
- +
-Not all Pianos in the Woods +
- +
-Had power to mangle me – +
- +
- +
- +
-I dared not meet the Daffodils – +
- +
-For fear their Yellow Gown +
- +
-Would pierce me with a fashion +
- +
-So foreign to my own – +
- +
- +
- +
-I wished the Grass would hurry – +
- +
-So – when 'twas time to see – +
- +
-He'd be too tall, the tallest one +
- +
-Could stretch – to look at me – +
- +
- +
- +
-I could not bear the Bees should come, +
- +
-I wished they'd stay away +
- +
-In those dim countries where they go, +
- +
-What word had they, for me? +
- +
- +
- +
-They're here, though; not a creature failed – +
- +
-No Blossom stayed away +
- +
-In gentle deference to me – +
- +
-The Queen of Calvary – +
- +
- +
- +
-Each one salutes me, as he goes, +
- +
-And I, my childish Plumes, +
- +
-Lift, in bereaved acknowledgment +
- +
-Of their unthinking Drums –+
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-500 +
- +
-Within my Garden, rides a Bird +
- +
-Upon a single Wheel – +
- +
-Whose spokes a dizzy Music make +
- +
-As 'twere a travelling Mill – +
- +
- +
- +
-He never stops, but slackens +
- +
-Above the Ripest Rose – +
- +
-Partakes without alighting +
- +
-And praises as he goes, +
- +
- +
- +
-Till every spice is tasted – +
- +
-And then his Fairy Gig +
- +
-Reels in remoter atmospheres – +
- +
-And I rejoin my Dog, +

-And He and I, perplex us +
- +

303 The Soul selects her own Society –

304 The Day came slow – till Five o'clock –

305 The difference between Despair

306 The Soul's Superior instants

307 The One who could repeat the Summer day –

308 I send Two Sunsets –

309 For largest Woman's Hearth I knew –

310 Give little Anguish -

311 It sifts from Leaden Sieves -

312 Her - “last Poems“ -

313 I should have been too glad, I see -

314 Nature – sometimes sears a Sapling -

315 He fumbles at your Soul

316 The Wind didn't come from the Orchard – today –

317 Just so – Jesus – raps –

318 I'll tell you how the Sun rose –

319 The nearest Dream recedes – unrealized –

320 We play at Paste –

321 Of all the Sounds despatched abroad,

322 There came a Day at Summer's full,

325 Of Tribulation, these are They,

326 I cannot dance upon my Toes –

327 Before I got my eye put out

328 A Bird came down the Walk –

329 So glad we are – a Stranger'd deem

330 The Juggler's Hat her Country is –

331 While Asters –

332 There are two Ripenings – one – of sight –

333 The Grass so little has to do –

334 All the letters I can write

335 'Tis not that Dying hurts us so –

336 The face I carry with me – last –

337 I know a place where Summer strives

338 I know that He exists.

339 I tend my flowers for thee –


340 Is Bliss then, such Abyss,


341 After great pain, a formal feeling comes –


342 It will be Summer – eventually.


343 My Reward for Being, was This.


344 'Twas the old – road – through pain –

345 Funny – to be a Century –

346 Not probable – The barest Chance –

347 When Night is almost done –

348 I dreaded that first Robin, so,

500 Within my Garden, rides a Bird

501 This World is not Conclusion.

502 At least – to pray – is left – is left –


503 Better – than Music! For I – who heard it –


504 You know that Portrait in the Moon –


505 I would not paint – a picture –


506 He touched me, so I live to know

507 She sights a Bird – she chuckles –

508 I'm ceded – I've stopped being Theirs –


509 If anybody's friend be dead


510 It was not Death, for I stood up,

511 If you were coming in the Fall,


512 The Soul has Bandaged moments –

513 Like Flowers, that heard the news of Dews,


514 Her smile was shaped like other smiles –


515 No Crowd that has occurred Exhibit –


516 Beauty – be not caused – It Is –


517 He parts Himself – like Leaves –


518 Her sweet Weight on my Heart a Night


519 'Twas warm – at first – like Us –

520 I started Early - Took my Dog -


521 Endow the Living – with the Tears –

522 Had I presumed to hope –


523 Sweet – You forgot – but I remembered

524 Departed – to the Judgment –


525 I think the Hemlock likes to stand


526 To hear an Oriole sing


527 To put this World down, like a Bundle –

528 Mine – by the Right of the White Election!

529 I'm sorry for the Dead – Today –

530 You cannot put a Fire out –

531 We dream – it is good we are dreaming –

532 I tried to think a lonelier Thing

533 Two butterflies went out at Noon –

534 We see – Comparatively –

535 She's happy, with a new Content –


536 The Heart asks Pleasure – first –


537 Me prove it now – Whoever doubt


538 'Tis true – They shut me in the Cold –


539 The Province of the Saved


540 I took my Power in my Hand –

541 Some such Butterfly be seen


542 I had no Cause to be awake –


543 I fear a Man of frugal Speech –

544 The Martyr Poets – did not tell –

545 'Tis One by One – the Father counts –

546 To fill a Gap

547 I've seen a Dying Eye

548 Death is potential to that Man

549 That I did always love

550 I cross till I am weary

551 There is a Shame of Nobleness –

552 An ignorance a Sunset

553 One Crucifixion is recorded – only –

554

The Black Berry – wears a Thorn in his side –


555 Trust in the Unexpected –


556 The Brain, within its Groove

557 She hideth Her the last –


558 But little Carmine hath her face –

559 It knew no Medicine –


560 It knew no lapse, nor Diminuation –


561 I measure every Grief I meet

562 Conjecturing a Climate

563 I could not prove the Years had feet –

564 My period had come for Prayer –

565 One Anguish – in a Crowd –


566 A Dying Tiger – moaned for Drink –


567 He gave away his Life –


568 We learned the Whole of Love –


569 I reckon – when I count it all –
