Se io potr? impedire ad un cuore di spezzarsi, non avr? vissuto invano. Se allevier? il dolore di una vita o guarir? una pena, o aiuter? un pettirosso caduto a rientrare nel suo nido, non avr? vissuto...
Such guilt to love thee most.
Quale Colpa amarti pi? di tutto.
One Year ago - jots what?
God - spell the word! I - cant -
Was't Grace? Not that -
Was't Glory? That - will do -
Spell slower - Glory -
Such Anniversary shall be -
Sometimes - not often - in Eternity ...
Dying! Dying in the night!
Wont somebody bring the light
So I can see which way to go
Into the everlasting snow?
And "Jesus"! Where is Jesus gone?
They said that Jesus - always came -
Perhap...
I rose - because He sank -
I thought it would be opposite -
But when his power bent -
My Soul grew straight.
I cheered my fainting Prince -
I sang firm - even - Chants -
I helped his Film - with Hymn ...
I know some lonely Houses off the Road
A Robber'd like the look of -
Wooden barred,
And Windows hanging low,
Inviting to -
A Portico,
Where two could creep -
One - hand the Tools -
The other peep -
To...
To make Routine a Stimulus
Remember it can cease -
Capacity to Terminate
Is a specific Grace -
Of Retrospect the Arrow
That power to repair
Departed with the Torment
Become, alas, more fair.
It ceased to hurt me, though so slow
I could not see the trouble go -
But only knew by looking back -
That something - had obscured the Track -
Nor when it altered, I could say,
For I had worn it, eve...
Because the Bee may blameless hum
For Thee a Bee do I become
List even unto Me -
Because the Flowers unafraid
May lift a look on thine, a Maid
Alway a Flower would be -
Nor Robins, Robins need not hi...
There's something quieter than sleep
Within this inner room!
It wears a sprig upon it's breast -
And will not tell it's name.
Some touch it, and some kiss it -
Some chafe it's idle hand -
It has a sim...
My Wars are laid away in Books -
I have one Battle more -
A Foe whom I have never seen
But oft has scanned me o'er -
And hesitated me between
And others at my side,
But chose the best - Neglecting me ...
Il suo volto era un letto di chiome,
Come fiori in un prato-
La sua mano era pi? bianca dell'olio
che bruciando alimenta le luci sacre.
La sua lingua era pi? tenera
dell'armonia che oscilla nelle fogl...
Some, too fragile for winter winds
The thoughtful grave encloses -
Tenderly tucking them in from frost
Before their feet are cold -
Never the treasures in her nest
The cautious grave exposes,
Building...
Fame is a bee.
It has a song -
It has a sting -
Ah, too, it has a wing.
Declaiming Waters none may dread -
But Waters that are still
Are so for that most fatal cause
In Nature - they are full.
Success is counted sweetest
By those who never succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of Victory
...
Hope is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That...
What did They do since I saw Them?
Were They industrious?
So many questions to put Them
Have I the Eagerness
That could I snatch Their Faces
That could Their lips reply
Not till the last was answered
...
High from the earth I heard a bird;
He trod upon the trees
As he esteemed them trifles,
And then he spied a breeze,
And situated softly
Upon a pile of wind
Which in a perturbation
Nature had left behi...
God permits industrious Angels -
Afternoons - to play -
I met one - forgot my Schoolmates -
All - for Him - straightway -
God calls home - the Angels - promptly -
At the Setting Sun -
I missed mine - ...
C'? un vuoto nel dolore:
Non si pu? ricordare
Quando inizi?, se giorno
Ne fu mai libero.
Esso ? il proprio futuro
E i suoi infiniti regni
Contengono il passato,
Illuminato a scorgere
Nuove et? di dol...
Sweet skepticism of the Heart -
That knows - and does not know -
And tosses like a Fleet of Balm -
Affronted by the snow -
Invites and then retards the truth
Lest Certainty be sere
Compared with the d...
If any sink, assure that this, now standing -
Failed like Themselves - and conscious that it rose -
Grew by the Fact, and not the Understanding
How Weakness passed - or Force - arose -
Tell that the W...
Glowing is her Bonnet -
Glowing is her Cheek -
Glowing is her Kirtle -
Yet she cannot speak.
Better as the Daisy
From the Summer hill
Vanish unrecorded
Save by tearful rill -
Save by loving sunrise

Expanse cannot be lost -
Not Joy, but a Decree
Is Deity -
His Scene, Infinity -
Whose rumor's Gate was shut so tight
Before my Beam was sown,
Not even a Prognostic's push
Could make a Dent thereon -
