A great hope fell
A light exists in spring
A thought went up my mind today
A wife at daybreak I shall be
After great pain a formal feeling comes
Again his voice is at the door
Because I could not stop for Death
He fumbles at your soul
Heart! We will forget him!
Heaven has different signs to me
Her final summer was it
Hope is the thing with feathers
I came to buy a smile today
I cannot live with you
I cannot meet the spring unmoved
I died for beauty, but was scarce
I dwell in possibility
I envy seas whereon he rides
I felt a cleaving in my mind
I felt a funeral in my brain
I had a guinea golden
I had been hungry
I had no time to hate, because
I measure every grief I meet
I never saw a moor
I shall not murmur if at last
I sing to use the waiting
I thought the train would never come
I was the slightest in the house
I'll tell you how the sun rose
I'm nobody! Who are you?
I'm "wife" - I've finished that
If I can stop one heart from breaking
If I shouldn't be alive
If you were coming in the fall
It ceased to hurt me, though so slow
It's all I have to bring today
Much madness is divinest sense
My life had stood a loaded gun
Pain has an element of blank
Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn
Rearrange a wife's affection
Remorse is memory awake
Success is counted sweetest
Tell all the truth but tell it slant
The first day's night had come
The grass so little has to do
The morns are meeker than they were
The soul should always stand ajar
The wind tapped like a tired man
There's a certain slant of light
They might not need me - yet they might
This is my letter to the world
To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee
Too scanty twas to die for you
While we were fearing it, it came
You love me - you are sure
You said that I was great one day
Niet met jou kunnen leven
’t Zou leven zijn
En leven is daarginds
Net uit het zicht
De koster heeft de sleutel
Wikkelt in
Ons leven, zijn servies
Porselein
De huisvrouw deed al afstand
Raar, met barsten
Een nieuwer soort bevalt haar
’t Oude kraakt
Niet met jou kunnen sterven
Eén wacht er af
En sluit de stille ogen
Maar jij niet
En ik, zou ik daar staan
Als jij bevriest
Zelf zonder recht op vorst
Door dood gegund
Ook niet herrijzen samen
Want jouw gezicht
Verdrong er Jezus
Dat nieuw licht
Dat vreemd, gewoontjes
Op mijn heimwee schijnt
Hoewel jij wel, hij niet
Scheen van dichtbij
Hun oordeel klaar
Al diende jij de hemel
Het poogde
Maar ik niet
Omdat jij heel mijn blik doortrok
En ik geen oog meer had
Voor ‘t kale paradijs
Wat gold als pracht
Was jij verloren, dan ook ik
Hoe duidelijk
Mijn naam ook klonk
In 't hemelrijk
Was jij gered
En ik gedoemd te zijn
Waar jij niet was
Een hel zou het me zijn
Daarom niet bij elkaar
Jij daar, ik hier
De deur nog op een kier
Waar zeeën zijn, gebed
En wanhoop waar ik mij
Mee red
I cannot live with You -
It would be Life -
And Life is over there -
Behind the Shelf
The Sexton keeps the Key to -
Putting up
Our Life - His Porcelain -
Like a Cup -
Discarded of the Housewife -
Quaint - or Broken -
A newer Sevres pleases -
Old Ones crack -
I could not die - with You -
For One must wait
To shut the Other's gaze down -
You - could not -
And I - Could I stand by
And see You - freeze -
Without my Right of Frost -
Death's privilege?
Nor could I rise - with You -
Because Your Face
Would put out Jesus' -
That New Grace
Glow plain - and foreign
On my homesick Eye -
Except that You than He
Shone closer by -
They'd judge Us – How -
For You - served Heaven - You know,
Or sought to -
I could not -
Because You saturated Sight -
And I had no more Eyes
For sordid excellence
As Paradise
And were You lost, I would be -
Though My Name
Rang loudest
On the Heavenly fame -
And were You - saved -
And I - condemned to be
Where You were not -
That self - were Hell to Me -
So We must keep apart -
You there – I – here -
With just the Door ajar
That Oceans are - and Prayer -
And that White Sustenance -
Despair -
