I had no Cause to be awake -
My Best - was gone to sleep -
And Morn a new politeness took -
And failed to wake them up -
But called the others - clear -
And passed their Curtains by -
Sweet Morning - ...
I had a guinea golden -
I lost it in the sand -
And th? the sum was simple
And pounds were in the land -
Still, had it such a value
Unto my frugal eye -
That when I could not find it -
I sat me down t...
I had no time to Hate -
Because
The Grave would hinder Me -
And Life was not so
Ample I
Could finish - Enmity -
Nor had I time to Love -
But since
Some Industry must be -
The little Toil of Love -
I t...
I had not minded - Walls -
Were Universe - one Rock -
And far I heard his silver Call
The other side the Block -
I'd tunnel - till my Groove
Pushed sudden thro' to his -
Then my face take her Recompen...
I had some things that I called mine -
And God, that he called his -
Till, recently a rival Claim
Disturbed these amities.
The property, my garden,
Which having sown with care,
He claims the pretty ac...
I have a Bird in spring
Which for myself doth sing -
The spring decoys.
And as the summer nears -
And as the Rose appears,
Robin is gone.
Yet do I not repine
Knowing that Bird of mine
Though flown -
...
I have no Life but this -
To lead it here -
Nor any Death - but lest
Dispelled from there -
Nor tie to Earths to come -
Nor Action new -
Except through this Extent -
The Realm of you.
I heard a Fly buzz - when I died -
The Stillness in the Room
Was like the Stillness in the Air -
Between the Heaves of Storm -
The Eyes around - had wrung them dry -
And Breaths were gathering firm
Fo...
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 -

I libri erano i Mollati supremi: li abbandoni e loro ti aspettano in eterno; se ti affezioni, loro ti ricambiano per sempre.
I like to see it lap the Miles -
And lick the Valleys up -
And stop to feed itself at Tanks -
And then - prodigious step
Around a Pile of Mountains -
And supercilious peer
In Shanties - by the sides o...
I miei fiori son per i prigionieri,
Occhi velati dalla lunga attesa,
Dita cui fu negato cogliere,
Pazienti fino al Paradiso.
Per questi, se potranno sussurrare
Dell'alba e di brughiere,
Non hanno alt...
I narcotici non possono calmare il dente che rode l'anima.
I meant to have but modest needs -
Such as Content - and Heaven -
Within my income - these could lie
And Life and I - keep even -
But since the last - included both -
It would suffice my Prayer
But ju...
I measure every Grief I meet
With narrow, probing, Eyes -
I wonder if It weighs like Mine -
Or has an Easier size -
I wonder if They bore it long -
Or did it just begin -
I could not tell the Date of ...
I nemici della saggezza convenzionale non sono le idee ma la marcia degli eventi.
I never saw a Moor -
I never saw the Sea -
Yet know I how the Heather looks
And what a Billow be -
I never spoke with God
Nor visited in Heaven -
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the Checks were giv...
I often passed the Village
When going home from school -
And wondered what they did there -
And why it was so still -
I did not know the year then,
In which my call would come -
Earlier, by the Dial,

I pigri intelligenti hanno sempre grandi ambizioni, per giustificare la propria pigrizia alla propria intelligenza.
I play at Riches - to appease
The Clamoring for Gold -
It kept me from a Thief, I think,
For often, overbold
With Want, and Opportunity -
I could have done a Sin
And been Myself that easy Thing
An ind...
I prayed, at first, a little Girl,
Because they told me to -
But stopped, when qualified to guess
How prayer would feel - to me -
If I believed God looked around,
Each time my Childish eye
Fixed full,...
I prodigi riescono a imparare rapidamente ciò che altri hanno già capito; i geni scoprono ciò che nessun altro ha scoperto prima. I prodigi imparano, i geni fanno.
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 saggi parlano soltanto di ciò che sanno.
I see thee better - in the Dark -
I do not need a Light -
The Love of Thee - a Prism be -
Excelling Violet -
I see thee better for the Years
That pile themselves - between -
The Miner's Lamp - suffici...
