To be forgot by thee
Surpasses Memory
Of other minds
The Heart cannot forget
Unless it contemplate
What it declines
I was regarded then
Raised from oblivion
A single time
To be remembered what -
Worth...
To die - takes just a little while -
They say it doesn't hurt -
It's only fainter - by degrees -
And then - it's out of sight -
A darker Ribbon - for a Day -
A Crape upon the Hat -
And then the pretty...
To fight aloud, is very brave -
But gallanter, I know
Who charge within the bosom
The Cavalry of Woe -
Who win, and nations do not see -
Who fall - and none observe -
Whose dying eyes, no Country
Rega...
To fill a Gap
Insert the Thing that caused it -
Block it up
With Other - and 'twill yawn the more -
You cannot solder an Abyss
With Air.
To hang our head - ostensibly -
And subsequent, to find
That such was not the posture
Of our immortal mind -
Affords the sly presumption
That in so dense a fuzz -
You - too - take Cobweb attitudes
Upo...
To her derided Home
A Weed of Summer came -
She did not know her station low
Nor Ignominy's name -
Bestowed a summer long
Upon a frameless flower -
Then swept as lightly from disdain
As Lady from her ...
To his simplicity
To die - was little Fate -
If Duty live - contented
But her Confederate.
To interrupt His Yellow Plan
The Sun does not allow
Caprices of the Atmosphere -
And even when the Snow
Heaves Balls of Specks, like Vicious Boy
Directly in His Eye -
Does not so much as turn His Head...
To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.
To make One's Toilette - after Death
Has made the Toilette cool
Of only Taste we cared to please
Is difficult, and still -
That's easier - than Braid the Hair -
And make the Bodice gay -
When Eyes tha...
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.
To mend each tattered Faith
There is a needle fair
Though no appearance indicate -
'Tis threaded in the Air -
And though it do not wear
As if it never Tore
'Tis very comfortable indeed
And spacious as...
To One denied the drink
To tell what Water is
Would be acuter, would it not
Than letting Him surmise?
To lead Him to the Well
And let Him hear it drip
Remind Him, would it not, somewhat
Of His condemn...
To own the Art within the Soul
The Soul to entertain
With Silence as a Company
And Festival maintain
Is an unfurnished Circumstance
Possession is to One
As an Estate perpetual
Or a reduceless Mine.
To put this World down, like a Bundle -
And walk steady, away,
Requires Energy - possibly Agony -
'Tis the Scarlet way
Trodden with straight renunciation
By the Son of God -
Later, his faint Confedera...
To see her is a picture
To hear her is a Tune
To know her an intemperance
As innocent as June
By which to be undone
Is dearer than Redemption -
Which never to receive
Makes mockery of melody
It might ...
Today or this noon
She dwelt so close
I almost touched her
Tonight she lies
Past neighborhood
And bough and steeple
Now past surmise.
Triumph - may be of several kinds -
There's Triumph in the Room
When that Old Imperator - Death -
By Faith - be overcome -
There's Triumph of the finer mind
When Truth - affronted long -
Advance unmov...
Trust in the Unexpected -
By this - was William Kidd
Persuaded of the Buried Gold -
As One had testified -
Through this - the old Philosopher -
His Talismanic Stone
Discerned - still withholden
To eff...
Trusty as the stars
Who quit their shining working
Prompt as when I lit them
In Genesis 'new house,
Durable as dawn
Whose antiquated blossom
Makes a world's suspense
Perish and rejoice.
Tu mi amavi: che diritto avevi, allora, di lasciarmi? Che diritto, rispondimi, di sacrificarmi al tuo miserabile capriccio per Linton? Mentre né la miseria, né la degradazione, né...
Two butterflies went out at Noon -
And waltzed upon a Farm -
Then stepped straight through the Firmament
And rested, on a Beam -
And then - together bore away
Upon a shining Sea -
Though never yet, in...
Un Segreto riferito -
Cessa di essere un Segreto - a quel punto -
Un Segreto - mantenuto -
Quello - pu? spaventare soltanto Uno.
Unable are the Loved to die
For Love is Immortality,
Nay, it is Deity -
Unable they that love - to die
For Love reforms Vitality
Into Divinity.
Uncertain lease - develops lustre
On Time -
Uncertain Grasp, appreciation
Of Sum -
The shorter Fate - is oftener the chiefest
Because
Inheritors upon a tenure
Prize.
