How dare the robins sing,
When men and women hear
Who since they went to their account
Have settled with the year! -
Paid all that life had earned
In one consummate bill.
And now, what life or death c...
Step lightly on this narrow spot -
The broadest Land that grows
Is not so ample as the Breast
These Emerald Seams enclose.
Step lofty, for this name be told
As far as Cannon dwell
Or Flag subsist or F...
Dio ? un distante - maestoso Innamorato -
Corteggia, come ci ha spiegato - per mezzo di Suo Figlio -
In verit?, un Corteggiamento Vicario -
Per "Miles", e "Priscilla", accadde lo S...
The Red - Blaze - is the Morning -
The Violet - is Noon -
The Yellow - Day - is falling -
And after that - is None -
But Miles of Sparks - at Evening -
Reveal the Width that burned -
The Territory Arg...
As Children bid the Guest "Good Night"
And then reluctant turn -
My flowers raise their pretty lips -
Then put their nightgowns on.
As children caper when they wake -
Merry that it is Morn -...
Went up a year this evening!
I recollect it well!
Amid no bells nor bravoes
The bystanders will tell!
Cheerful - as to the village -
Tranquil - as to repose -
Chastened - as to the Chapel
This humble ...
The Angle of a Landscape -
That every time I wake -
Between my Curtain and the Wall
Upon an ample Crack -
Like a Venetian - waiting -
Accosts my open eye -
Is just a Bough of Apples -
Held slanting, i...
There is no Frigate like a book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a page
Of prancing Poetry-
This Travel may the poorest take
Without oppress of a Toll-
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears ...
When One has given up One's life
The parting with the rest
Feels easy, as when Day lets go
Entirely the West
The Peaks, that lingered last
Remain in Her regret
As scarcely as the Iodine
Upon the Catar...
Soul, Wilt thou toss again?
By just such a hazard
Hundreds have lost indeed -
But tens have won an all -
Angel's breathless ballot
Lingers to record thee -
Imps in eager caucus
Raffle for my soul
Did you ever stand in a Cavern's Mouth -
Widths out of the Sun -
And look - and shudder, and block your breath -
And deem to be alone
In such a place, what horror,
How Goblin it would be -
And fly, as...
An honest Tear
Is durabler than Bronze -
This Cenotaph
May each that dies -
Reared by itself -
No Deputy suffice -
Gratitude bears
When Obelisk decays.
Ci? che posso fare, lo far?.
Anche se sar? di poco conto come una Giunchiglia.
Quello che non posso - deve restare
Ignoto alla possibilit?.
One dignity delays for all -
One mitred afternoon -
None can avoid this purple -
None evade this crown!
Coach, it insures, and footmen -
Chamber, and state, and throng -
Bells, also, in the village
As...
Such are the inlets of the mind -
His outlets - would you see
Ascend with me the eminence
Of Immortality.
Our lives are Swiss -
So still - so Cool -
Till some odd afternoon
The Alps neglect their Curtains
And we look farther on!
Italy stands the other side!
While like a guard between -
The solemn Alps -

If I should die -
And you should live -
And time sh'd gurgle on -
And morn sh'd beam -
And noon should burn -
As it has usual done -
If Birds should build as early
And Bees as bustling go -
One might ...
"Lethe" in my flower,
Of which they who drink,
In the fadeless Orchards
Hear the bobolink!
Merely flake or petal
As the Eye beholds
Jupiter! My father!
I perceive the rose!
There's been a Death, in the Opposite House,
As lately as Today -
I know it, by the numb look
Such Houses have - alway -
The Neighbors rustle in and out -
The Doctor - drives away -
A Window opens lik...
A Shady friend - for Torrid days -
Is easier to find -
Than one of higher temperature
For Frigid - hour of Mind -
The Vane a little to the East -
Scares Muslin souls - away -
If Broadcloth Hearts are ...
Ella giaceva come se per gioco
la sua vita se ne fosse andata
in un balzo, decisa a ritornare,
per? non cos? presto.
Le sue braccia felici abbandonate,
come se nella pausa del trastullo avessero scor...
Doom is the House without the Door -
'Tis entered from the Sun -
And then the Ladder's thrown away,
Because Escape - is done -
'Tis varied by the Dream
Of what they do outside -
Where Squirrels play -...
Un Segreto riferito -
Cessa di essere un Segreto - a quel punto -
Un Segreto - mantenuto -
Quello - pu? spaventare soltanto Uno.
Our share of night to bear -
Our share of morning -
Our blank in bliss to fill,
Our blank in scorning -
Here a star, and there a star,
Some lose their way!
Here a mist - and there a mist -
Afterwards ...
Andai in Cielo -
Era una piccola Citt? -
Illuminata - da un Rubino -
Lastricata - con soffici Piume -
Pi? silenziosa - dei campi
Ricoperti di Rugiada -
Bellissima - come Dipinti -
Che mai Uomo disegn?...
