Part Five: The Single Hound
One sister have I in our house- Adventure most unto itself
- The Soul that has a Guest
- Except the smaller size, no Lives are round
- Fame is a fickle food
- The right to perish might be thought
- Peril as a possession
- When Etna basks and purrs
- Reverse cannot befall that fine Prosperity
- To be alive is power
- Witchcraft has not a pedigree
- Exhilaration is the Breeze
- No romance sold unto
- If what we could were what we would
- Perception of an
- No other can reduce
- The blunder is to estimate
- My Wheel is in the dark
- There is another Loneliness
- So gay a flower bereaved the mind
- Glory is that bright tragic thing
- The missing All prevented me
- His mind, of man a secret makes
- The suburbs of a secret
- The difference between despair
- There is a solitude of space
- The props assist the house
- The gleam of an heroic act
- Of Death the sharpest function
- Down Time’s quaint stream
- I bet with every Wind that blew
- The Future never spoke
- Two lengths has every day
- The Soul’s superior instants
- Nature is what we see
- Ah, Teneriffe!
- She died at play
- ‘Morning’ means ‘Milking’ to the Farmer
- A little madness in the Spring
- I can’t tell you, but you feel it
- Some Days retired from the rest
- Like Men and Women shadows walk
- The butterfly obtains
- Beauty crowds me till I die
- We spy the Forests and the Hills
- I never told the buried gold
- The largest fire ever known
- Bloom upon the Mountain, stated
- March is the month of expectation
- The Duties of the Wind are few
- The Winds drew off
- I think that the root of the Wind is Water
- So, from the mould
- The long sigh of the Frog
- A cap of lead across the sky
- I send two Sunsets
- Of this is Day composed
- The Hills erect their purple heads
- Lightly stepped a yellow star
- The Moon upon her fluent route
- Like some old-fashioned miracle
- Glowing is her Bonnet
- Forever cherished be the tree
- The Ones that disappeared are back
- Those final Creatures,—who they are
- Summer begins to have the look
- A prompt, executive Bird is the Jay
- Like brooms of steel
- These are the days that Reindeer love
- Follow wise Orion
- In winter, in my room
- Not any sunny tone
- For Death,—or rather
- Dropped into the
- This quiet Dust was Gentlemen and Ladies
- ’T was comfort in her dying room
- Too cold is this
- I watched her face to see which way
- To-day or this noon
- I see thee better in the dark
- Low at my problem bending
- If pain for peace prepares
- I fit for them
- Not one by Heaven defrauded stay
- The feet of people walking home
- We should not mind so small a flower
- To the staunch Dust we safe commit thee
- Her ‘Last Poems’
- Immured in Heaven! What a Cell!
- I ’m thinking of that other morn
- The overtakelessness of those
- The Look of Thee, what is it like?
- The Devil, had he fidelity
- Papa above!
- Not when we know
- Elijah’s wagon knew no thill
- ‘Remember me,’ implored the Thief
- To this apartment deep
- Sown in dishonor?
- Through lane it lay, through bramble
- Who is it seeks my pillow nights?
- His Cheek is his Biographer
- ‘Heavenly Father,’ take to thee
- The sweets of Pillage can be known
- The Bible is an antique volume
- A little over Jordan
- Dust is the only secret
- Ambition cannot find him
- Eden is that old-fashioned House
- Candor, my tepid Friend
- Speech is a symptom of affection
- Who were ‘the Father and the Son’
- That Love is all there is
- The luxury to apprehend
- The Sea said ‘Come’ to the Brook
- All I may, if small
- Love reckons by itself alone
- The inundation of the Spring
- No Autumn’s intercepting chill
- Volcanoes be in Sicily
- Distance is not the realm of Fox
- The treason of an accent
- How destitute is he
- Crisis is sweet and, set of Heart
- To tell the beauty would decrease
- To love thee, year by year
- I showed her heights she never saw
- On my volcano grows the grass
- If I could tell how glad I was
- Her Grace is all she has
- No matter where the Saints abide
- To see her is a picture
- So set its sun in thee
- Had this one day not been
- That she forgot me was the least
- The incidents of Love
- A little overflowing word
- Just so, Jesus raps—He does not weary
- Safe Despair it is that raves
- The Face we choose to miss
- Of so divine a loss
- The healed Heart shows its shallow scar
- Give little anguish
- To pile like Thunder to its close
- The Stars are old, that stood for me
- All circumstances are the frame
- I did not reach thee
