Poet
Emily Dickinson
A Bird Came Down
A bird came down the walk:
A Book
There is no frigate like a book
Abraham to Kill Him
Abraham to kill him
Absence disembodies—so does Death
860
Absent Place—an April Day
927
A Burdock—clawed my Gown
229
A Charm invests a face
421
A Clock Stopped -- Not The Mantel's
A clock stopped -- not the mantel's
A Cloud withdrew from the Sky
895
A Coffin—is a small Domain
943
A darting fear—a pomp—a tear
87
A Day! Help! Help! Another Day!
42
A Death blow is a Life blow to Some
816
A door just opened on a street
A door just opened on a street--
A doubt if it be Us
859
Adrift! A little boat adrift!
30
A drop fell on the apple tree
A drop fell on the apple tree
A Dying Tiger—moaned for Drink
566
A feather from the Whippoorwill
161
A first Mute Coming
702
Afraid! Of whom am I afraid?
608
After a hundred years
After a hundred years
After Great Pain, A Formal Feeling Comes
After great pain, a formal feeling comes--
A fuzzy fellow, without feet
173
Again—his voice is at the door
663
A happy lip—breaks sudden
353
Ah, Moon—and Star!
240
Ah, Necromancy Sweet!
177
A House upon the Height
A House upon the Height—
Ah, Teneriffe!
666
A Lady red—amid the Hill
74
A light exists in spring
A light exists in spring
A little bread—a crust—a crumb
159
A little east of Jordan
A little east of Jordan,
A little Road—not made of Man
A little Road—not made of Man—
All but Death, can be Adjusted
749
All Circumstances are the Frame
820
All forgot for recollecting
966
All I may, if small
819
All overgrown by cunning moss
148
All the letters I can write
334
All these my banners be
22
Alone, I cannot be
298
A long, long sleep, a famous sleep
A long, long sleep, a famous sleep
A loss of something ever felt I
959
Alter! When the Hills do
729
Although I put away his life
366
Always Mine!
839
A Man may make a Remark
A Man may make a Remark—
Ambition cannot find him
68
A Mien to move a Queen
283
A Moth the hue of this
841
Ample make this Bed
Ample make this Bed—
A Murmur in the Trees—to note
416
An altered look about the hills
An altered look about the hills—
A narrow fellow in the grass
A narrow fellow in the grass
An awful Tempest mashed the air
198
And this of all my Hopes
913
A nearness to Tremendousness
963
An everywhere of silver,
An everywhere of silver,
Angels, in the early morning
94
An Hour is a Sea
825
A Night—there lay the Days between
471
An ignorance a Sunset
552
Answer July
386
A Planted Life—diversified
806
Apology for Her
852
A poor—torn heart—a tattered heart
A poor—torn heart—a tattered heart—
Apparently with no Surprise
Apparently with no surprise,
A precious—mouldering pleasure
371
A Prison gets to be a friend
652
Arcturus
"Arcturus" is his other name—
A Route of Evanescence
A Route of Evanescence
Artists wrestled here!
110
As by the dead we love to sit
88
As Children bid the Guest
133
A science—so the Savants say
100
A Secret told
381
A sepal, petal, and a thorn
19
As Everywhere of Silver
884
As far from pity, as complaint
496
As Frost is best conceived
951
A Shade upon the mind there passes
882
A shady friend for torrid days
A shady friend for torrid days
"As if I asked a common Alms"
323
As if some little Arctic flower
180
As if the Sea should part
695
As imperceptibly as grief
As imperceptibly as grief
A single Screw of Flesh
263
A slash of Blue
204
A solemn thing—it was—I said
271
A Solemn thing within the Soul
A Solemn thing within the Soul
A something in a summer's Day
122
As One does Sickness over
957
A South Wind—has a pathos
719
As plan for Noon and plan for Night
960
As Sleigh Bells seem in summer
981
As the Starved Maelstrom laps the Navies
872
A still—Volcano—Life
601
As Watchers hang upon the East
121
A thought went up my mind to-day
A thought went up my mind to-day
A throe upon the features
71
At last, to be identified!
174
At least—to pray—is left—is left
502
At leisure is the Soul
618
A toad can die of light!
A toad can die of light!
A Tongue—to tell Him I am true!
400
A Tooth upon Our Peace
459
A transport one cannot contain
184
Autumn—overlooked my Knitting
748
A Visitor in Marl
391
Awake ye muses nine, sing me a strain divine
1
Away from Home are some and I—
821
A Weight with Needles on the pounds
264
A Wife—at daybreak I shall be
461
A Wounded Deer—leaps highest
165
Baffled for just a day or two
17
Banish Air from Air—
854
Beauty—be not caused—It Is
516
Because I could not stop for Death,
Because I could not stop for Death,
Because the Bee may blameless hum
869
Beclouded
The sky is low, the clouds are mean,
Bee! I'm expecting you!
1035
Before He comes we weigh the Time!
834
Before I got my eye put out
327
Before the ice is in the pools
37
Before you thought of spring,
Before you thought of spring,
Behind Me—dips Eternity
721
Be Mine the Doom—
845
Bereaved of all, I went abroad
784
Bereavement in their death to feel
645
Besides the Autumn poets sing
131
Besides this May
977
Best Gains—must have the Losses' Test
684
Best Things dwell out of Sight
998
Better—than Music! For I—who heard it
503
Between My Country—and the Others
Between My Country—and the Others—
Bird
A bird came down the walk:
Blazing in Gold and quenching in Purple
228
Bless God, he went as soldiers
147
Bloom upon the Mountain—stated
667
Bound—a trouble
269
Bring me the sunset in a cup
128
But little Carmine hath her face
558
By a flower—By a letter
109
By Chivalries as tiny
55
By my Window have I for Scenery
797
By such and such an offering
38
By The Sea
I started early, took my dog,
Cat
She sights a Bird - she chuckles -
Chartless
I never saw a moor,
Civilization—spurns—the Leopard!
492
Cocoon above! Cocoon below!
129
Color—Caste—Denomination
970
Come slowly—Eden!
Come slowly—Eden!
Conjecturing a Climate
562
Conscious am I in my Chamber
679
Could I but ride indefinite
661
Could—I do more—for Thee
447
Could I—then—shut the door
220
Could live—did live
43
Crisis is a Hair
889
Crumbling is not an instant's Act
997
Dare you see a Soul at the White Heat?
365
Death is a Dialogue between
976
Death is potential to that Man
548
Death leaves Us homesick, who behind
935
Death sets a Thing significant
Death sets a Thing significant
Defrauded I a Butterfly
730
Delayed till she had ceased to know
58
Delight becomes pictorial
Delight becomes pictorial
Delight is as the flight
257
Denial—is the only fact
965
Departed to the judgment,
Departed to the judgment,
Deprived of other Banquet
773
Despair's advantage is achieved
799
Did Our Best Moment last
393
Did the Harebell loose her girdle
213
Did we disobey Him?
267
Did you ever stand in a Cavern's Mouth
590
Distrustful of the Gentian
20
Don't put up my Thread and Needle
617
Doom is the House without the Door
475
Do People moulder equally
432
Doubt Me! My Dim Companion!
275
Drab Habitation of Whom?
893
Drama's Vitallest Expression is the Common Day
741
Dreams—are well—but Waking's better
450
Dropped into the Ether Acre
665
Dust is the only Secret
153
Dying! Dying in the night!
158
Dying (I heard a fly buzz when I died)
I heard a fly buzz when I died;
Dying! To be afraid of thee
831
Each life converges to some centre
Each life converges to some centre
Each Scar I'll keep for Him
877
Each Second is the last
879
Embarrassment of one another
662
Empty my Heart, of Thee
587
Endow the Living—with the Tears
521
Escaping backward to perceive
867
Essential Oils—are wrung
675
Except the Heaven had come so near
472
Except to Heaven, she is nought
154
Exclusion (The soul selects her own society)
The soul selects her own society,
Exhilaration—is within

Expectation—is Contentment

Fairer through Fading—as the Day

Faith—is the Pierless Bridge

Fame is a fickle food

Finite—to fail, but infinite to Venture

First Robin
I dreaded that first robin so,
Fitter to see Him, I may be

Flowers—Well—if anybody
137
For Death—or rather
382
For each ecstatic instant
For each ecstatic instant
Forever at His side to walk
246
Forever—it composed of Nows
624
For every Bird a Nest

Forget! The lady with the Amulet

For largest Woman's Hearth I knew

For this—accepted Breath

Four Trees—upon a solitary Acre

Frequently the wood are pink

From Cocoon forth a Butterfly

Further in Summer than the Birds

Give little Anguish
310
Given in Marriage unto Thee

Glee—The great storm is over

Glowing is her Bonnet

God made a little Gentian
God made a little Gentian—
God permit industrious angels

Going to Heaven!

Going to Him! Happy letter!
Going to Him! Happy letter!
Good Morning—Midnight
425
Good night, because we must
114
Good night! which put the candle out?
Good night! which put the candle out?
Good to hide, and hear 'em hunt!

Gratitude—is not the mention
989
Great Caesar! Condescend

Grief is a Mouse
Grief is a Mouse—
Growth of Man—like Growth of Nature

Have any like Myself

Have you got a Brook in your little heart
136
Heart, not so heavy as mine
83
Heart, We Will Forget Him
Heart, we will forget him,
Heaven
575
Heaven has different Signs—to me
"Heaven" has different Signs—to me—
Heaven is so far of the Mind
370
Heaven is what I cannot reach!
Heaven is what I cannot reach!
Heaven—is what I cannot reach!
"Heaven"—is what I cannot reach!
He forgot—and I—remembered
203
He fought like those Who've nought to lose
759
He found my Being—set it up
603
He fumbles at your spirit
He fumbles at your spirit
He gave away his Life
567
He outstripped Time with but a Bout
865
He parts Himself—like Leaves
517
He put the Belt around my life
273
Her—
312
Her breast is fit for pearls
84
Herein a Blossom lies
899
Her final Summer was it
Her final Summer was it—
Her Grace is all she has—

Her smile was shaped like other smiles
514
Her Sweet turn to leave the Homestead
649
Her sweet Weight on my Heart a Night
518
He strained my faith
497
He told a homely tale
763
He touched me, so I live to know
506
He was weak, and I was strong—then
190
He who in Himself believes
969
His Bill an Auger is
1034
His Feet are shod with Gauze
916
Home
Years I had been from home,
Hope is the thing with feathers—
"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
Houses—so the Wise Men tell me—
"Houses"—so the Wise Men tell me—
How far is it to Heaven?
929
How fortunate the Grave
897
How happy is the little Stone

How happy I was if I could forget
898
How many Flowers fail in Wood
404
How many times these low feet staggered
187
How noteless Men, and Pleiads, stand
How noteless Men, and Pleiads, stand,
How sick—to wait—in any place—but thine

How the old Mountains drip with Sunset
291
How the Waters closed above Him
923
How well I knew Her not
837
I am alive—I guess
470
I am ashamed—I hide
473
I asked no other thing
621
I breathed enough to take the Trick
I breathed enough to take the Trick—
I bring an unaccustomed wine
132
I Came to buy a smile—today
223
I cannot be ashamed
914
I cannot buy it—'tis not sold
840
I cannot dance upon my Toes
326
I cannot live with You
I cannot live with You --
I can't tell you—but you feel it
65
I can wade Grief
252
I cautious, scanned my little life
178
I could bring You Jewels—had I a mind to
697
I could die—to know
570
I could not drink it, Sweet
818
I could not prove the Years had feet
563
I could suffice for Him, I knew
643
I cried at Pity—not at Pain
588
I cross till I am weary
550
Ideals are the Fairly Oil
983
I died for Beauty—but was scarce
I died for Beauty—but was scarce
I dreaded that first Robin, so
348
I dwell in Possibility
657
I envy Seas, whereon He rides
498
If anybody's friend be dead
509
If any sink, assure that this, now standing
358
If Blame be my side—forfeit Me
775
I fear a Man of frugal Speech
543
I felt a cleaving in my mind
I felt a cleaving in my mind
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain

I felt my life with both my hands
351
If He dissolve—then—there is nothing
If He dissolve—then—there is nothing—more—
If He were living—dare I ask
734
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
If I could bribe them by a Rose
179
If I may have it, when it's dead
577
If I'm lost—now
256
If I should cease to bring a Rose
56
If I should die
54
If I shouldn't be alive
182
If it had no pencil
921
I found the phrase to every thought
I found the phrase to every thought
If pain for peace prepares
63
If recollecting were forgetting
33
If she had been the Mistletoe
44
If the foolish, call them
168
If this is
120
If those I loved were lost
29
If What we could—were what we would
407
If your Nerve, deny you
292
If you were coming in the fall,
If you were coming in the fall,
I gained it so
359
I gave myself to Him
580
I got so I could take his name
293
I had a guinea golden
23
I had been hungry, all the Years
I had been hungry, all the Years—
I had no Cause to be awake
I had no Cause to be awake—
I had no time to hate, because
I had no time to hate, because
I had not minded—Walls
398
I had some things that I called mine
116
I had the Glory—that will do
349
I have a Bird in spring
5
I have a King, who does not speak
103
I have never seen
175
I haven't told my garden yet
50
I heard a Fly buzz -- when I died --
I heard a Fly buzz -- when I died --
I held a Jewel in my fingers
245
I hide myself within my flower
903
I keep my pledge
46
I know a place where summer strives
I know a place where summer strives
I know lives, I could miss
372
I know some lonely Houses off the Road
289
I know that He exists
338
I know where Wells grow—Droughtless Wells
460
I learned—at least—what Home could be
944
I like a look of Agony
241
I like to see it lap the Miles
I like to see it lap the Miles—
I lived on dread; to those who know
I lived on dread; to those who know
I live with Him—I see His face
463
I'll clutch—and clutch
427
I'll send the feather from my Hat!
687
I'll tell you how the sun rose, --
I'll tell you how the sun rose, --
I’ll tell you how the sun rose
I’ll tell you how the sun rose, -
I lost a World - the other day!
181
I'm
199
I made slow Riches but my Gain
843
I make His Crescent fill or lack
909
I many times thought Peace had come
739
I'm ceded—I've stopped being Theirs
508
I meant to find Her when I came
718
I meant to have but modest needs
476
I measure every grief I meet
I measure every grief I meet
I met a King this afternoon!
166
I'm nobody! Who are you?
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Impossibility, like Wine
838
I'm saying every day
373
I'm sorry for the Dead—Today
529
I'm the little
176
Inconceivably solemn!
582
In Ebon Box, when years have flown
169
I never felt at Home—Below
413
I never hear the word
I never hear the word "escape"
I never lost as much but twice
49
I Never Saw a Moor
I never saw a moor;
I never told the buried gold
11
In falling Timbers buried
614
In lands I never saw—they say
124
In rags mysterious as these
117
In Winter in my Room
1670
I often passed the village
51
I pay—in Satin Cash
402
I play at Riches—to appease
801
I prayed, at first, a little Girl
576
I read my sentence—steadily
412
I reason, Earth is short
301
I reckon—when I count it all
569
I robbed the Woods
41
I rose—because He sank
616
I saw no Way—The Heavens were stitched
378
Is Bliss then, such Abyss
340
I see thee better—in the Dark
I see thee better—in the Dark—
I send Two Sunsets
308
I shall keep singing!
250
I shall know why—when Time is over
193
I should have been too glad, I see
313
I should not dare to leave my friend
205
I showed her Heights she never saw
446
I sing to use the Waiting
850
Is it dead—Find it
417
Is it true, dear Sue?
218
I sometimes drop it, for a Quick
708
I started Early - Took my Dog
I started Early - Took my Dog -
I stepped from plank to plank
I stepped from plank to plank
I stole them from a Bee
200
"It always felt to me—a wrong"
597
I taste a liquor never brewed
I taste a liquor never brewed,
It bloomed and dropt, a Single Noon
978
It can't be
It can't be "Summer"!
It ceased to hurt me, though so slow
584
It did not surprise me
39
It don't sound so terrible—quite—as it did
426
It Dropped So Low -- In My Regard --
It dropped so low -- in my Regard --
I tend my flowers for thee
339
It feels a shame to be Alive
444
I think I was enchanted
593
I think just how my shape will rise
237
I think the Hemlock likes to stand
I think the Hemlock likes to stand
I think the longest Hour of all
635
I think to Live—may be a Bliss
646
I tie my Hat—I crease my Shawl
443
It is a lonesome Glee
774
It is an honorable thought,
It is an honorable thought,
It is easy to work when the soul is at play
244
It knew no lapse, nor Diminuation
560
It knew no Medicine
559
It makes no difference abroad
620
It might be lonelier
405
I took my Power in my Hand
540
I tried to think a lonelier Thing
532
It's all I have to bring today
It's all I have to bring today—
It's All I have to bring to-day,
It's All I have to bring to-day,
It's coming—the postponeless Creature
390
It's easy to invent a Life
724
It sifts from Leaden Sieves
311
It's like the light, --
It's like the light, --
It's such a little thing to weep
189
It's thoughts—and just One Heart
It's thoughts—and just One Heart—
It struck me—every Day
It struck me—every Day—
It tossed—and tossed
723
It troubled me as once I was
600
It was a Grave, yet bore no Stone
876
It was given to me by the Gods
454
It was not death, for I stood up
It was not death, for I stood up,
It was too late for Man
623
It will be Summer—eventually
342
It would have starved a Gnat
612
It would never be Common—more—I said
430
I've heard an Organ talk, sometimes
183
I've known a Heaven, like a Tent
243
I've none to tell me to but Thee
881
I've nothing else—to bring, You know
224
I've seen a Dying Eye
547
I want—it pleaded—All its life—
"I want"—it pleaded—All its life—
I was the slightest in the House
486
I watched the Moon around the House
629
I went to heaven,--
I went to heaven,--
I went to thank Her
363
I would distil a cup
16
I would not paint—a picture
505
I years had been from home,
I years had been from home,
I Years had been from Home
I Years had been from Home
Jesus! thy Crucifix
225
Joy to have merited the Pain
788
Just as He spoke it from his Hands
848
Just lost, when I was saved!
160
Just so—Jesus—raps
317
Kill your Balm—and its Odors bless you
238
Knows how to forget!
433
Least Bee that brew
676
Least Rivers—docile to some sea
212
Let Us play Yesterday
728
Life, and Death, and Giants
706
Life—is what we make of it
698
Light is sufficient to itself
862
Like eyes that looked on Wastes
458
Like Flowers, that heard the news of Dews
513
Like her the Saints retire
60
Like Mighty Foot Lights—burned the Red
595
Like Some Old fashioned Miracle
302
Like trains of cars on tracks of plush
Like trains of cars on tracks of plush
Love—is anterior to Life
917
Love—is that later Thing than Death
924
Love reckons by itself—alone
826
Love—thou art high
453
Low at my problem bending
69
Make me a picture of the sun
188
Mama never forgets her birds
164
Many a phrase has the English language
276
Many cross the Rhine
123
Me, change! Me, alter!
Me, change! Me, alter!
Me! Come! My dazzled face
Me! Come! My dazzled face
"Me from Myself—to banish"
642
Me prove it now—Whoever doubt
537
Midsummer, was it, when They died
962
Mine—by the Right of the White Election!
528
More Life—went out—when He went
422
Morning—is the place for Dew
197
Morning—means
"Morning"—means "Milking"—to the Farmer—
Morns like these—we parted
27
Most she touched me by her muteness
760
Much Madness is divinest Sense
Much Madness is divinest Sense -
Musicians wrestle everywhere
157
Must be a Woe
571
Mute thy Coronation
151
My best Acquaintances are those
932
My Eye is fuller than my vase
202
"My Faith is larger than the Hills-"
766
My first well Day—since many ill
574
My friend attacks my friend!
118
My friend must be a Bird
92
My Garden—like the Beach
484
My life closed twice before its close
1732
My life closed twice before its close;
My life closed twice before its close;
My Life had stood—a Loaded Gun
754
My nosegays are for captives;
My nosegays are for captives;
My period had come for Prayer
564
My Portion is Defeat—today
639
My Reward for Being, was This
343
My River runs to thee
162
Myself was formed—a Carpenter
488
My Soul—accused me—And I quailed
753
My wheel is in the dark
My wheel is in the dark!
My Worthiness is all my Doubt
751
Nature and God—I neither knew
835
Nature is what we see—
"Nature" is what we see—
Nature rarer uses yellow
Nature rarer uses yellow
Nature—sometimes sears a Sapling
314
Nature the gentlest mother is
Nature the gentlest mother is,
Nature—the Gentlest Mother is
Nature—the Gentlest Mother is,
Never for Society
746
New feet within my garden go
99
No Bobolink—reverse His Singing
755
Nobody knows this little Rose
Nobody knows this little Rose—
No Crowd that has occurred
515
No Man can compass a Despair
477
No matter—now—Sweet
704
None can experience sting
771
No Notice gave She, but a Change
804
Noon—is the Hinge of Day
931
No Other can reduce
982
No Prisoner be
720
No Rack can torture me
384
"No Romance sold unto"
669
Not
Not "Revelation"—'tis—that waits,
Not all die early, dying young
Not all die early, dying young—
Not in this world to see his face
Not in this world to see his face
Not probable—The barest Chance
346
Not that We did, shall be the test
823
Of all the souls that stand create
Of all the souls that stand create
Of all the Sounds despatched abroad
321
Of Being is a Bird
653
Of Bronze—and Blaze
290
Of Brussels—it was not
602
Of Consciousness, her awful Mate
894
Of Course—I prayed
376
Of nearness to her sundered Things
607
Of Silken Speech and Specious Shoe
896
Of Tolling Bell I ask the cause?
947
Of Tribulation, these are They
325
On a Columnar Self
789
Once more, my now bewildered Dove
48
One and One—are One
769
One Anguish—in a Crowd
565
One Blessing had I than the rest
756
One Crucifixion is recorded—only
553
One Day is there of the Series
814
One dignity delays for all
98
One Life of so much Consequence!
270
One need not be a chamber to be haunted,
One need not be a chamber to be haunted,
One need not be a Chamber—to be Haunted
670
One Sister have I in our house
14
One Year ago—jots what?
296
Only a Shrine, but Mine
918
Only God—detect the Sorrow
626
On such a night, or such a night
146
On that dear Frame the Years had worn
940
On this long storm the Rainbow rose
194
On this wondrous sea
4
Our journey had advanced
Our journey had advanced—
Our little Kinsmen—after Rain
885
Our lives are Swiss—
Our lives are Swiss—
Ourselves were wed one summer—dear
631
Our share of night to bear
113
Out of sight? What of that?
703
Over and over, like a Tune
367
Over the fence
251
Pain—expands the Time
967
Pain--has an Element of Blank--
Pain--has an Element of Blank--
Papa above!
61
Partake as doth the Bee
994
Patience—has a quiet Outer
926
Peace is a fiction of our Faith
912
Perhaps I Asked Too Large
Perhaps I asked too large --
Perhaps you'd like to buy a flower
134
Perhaps you think me stooping
833
Pigmy seraphs—gone astray
138
Poor little Heart!
Poor little Heart!
Portraits are to daily faces
170
Prayer is the little implement
437
Precious to Me—She still shall be
727
Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn
Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn
Promise This—When You be Dying

Publication—is the Auction
Publication—is the Auction
Purple—is fashionable twice

Remorse -- is Memory -- awake --
Removed from Accident of Loss

Renunciation
Renunciation -- is a piercing Virtue --
Rest at Night

Ribbons of the Year
873
Robbed by Death—but that was easy
971
Safe in their alabaster chambers,
Safe in their alabaster chambers,
Savior! I've no one else to tell
217
Severer Service of myself
786
Sexton! My Master's sleeping here
96
She bore it till the simple veins
144
She dealt her pretty words like Blades
479
She died at play
75
She died—this was the way she died
150
She dwelleth in the Ground
671
She hideth Her the last
557
She lay as if at play
369
Shells from the Coast mistaking
693
"She rose to his requirement, dropped"
She rose to his requirement, dropped
She's happy, with a new Content
535
She sights a Bird—she chuckles
507
She slept beneath a tree
25
She sped as Petals of a Rose
991
She staked her Feathers—Gained an Arc
798
She sweeps with many-colored brooms,
She sweeps with many-colored brooms,
She went as quiet as the Dew
149
Should you but fail at—Sea
226
Sic transit gloria mundi
3
Size circumscribes—it has no room
641
Sleep is supposed to be
Sleep is supposed to be
Smiling back from Coronation
385
Snow beneath whose chilly softness
942
Snow flakes
36
So bashful when I spied her,
So bashful when I spied her,
So from the mould
66
So glad we are—a Stranger'd deem
329
So has a Daisy vanished
28
Soil of Flint, if steady tilled
681
Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church
Some keep the Sabbath going to Church --
Some Rainbow—coming from the Fair!
64
Some such Butterfly be seen
541
Some things that fly there be
89
Some, too fragile for winter winds
141
Some—Work for Immortality
406
So much Summer
651
So proud she was to die
So proud she was to die
So set its Sun in Thee
808
So the Eyes accost—and sunder
752
Soto! Explore Thyself!
832
Soul, Wilt thou toss again?
139
South Winds jostle them
86
So well that I can live without
456
Sown in dishonor
62
Speech—is a prank of Parliament—
"Speech"—is a prank of Parliament—
Split the Lark
Split the Lark -- and you'll find the Music --
Split the Lark—and you'll find the Music

Spring is the Period
844
Strong Draughts of Their Refreshing Minds

Struck, was I, not yet by Lightning

Success is Counted Sweetest
Part 1 - Life
Such is the Force of Happiness

Summer for thee, grant I may be

Taking up the fair Ideal

Talk with prudence to a Beggar

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant—
That after Horror—that 'twas us

The Day that I was crowned

This was a Poet—It is That

This was in the White of the Year

'Twas the old—road—through pain
344
'Twas warm—at first—like Us

Twice had Summer her fair Verdure

Two butterflies went out at noon
Two butterflies went out at noon
Two swimmers wrestled on the spar

'Twould ease—a Butterfly
682
Two—were immortal twice
800
Unable are the Loved to die

Uncertain lease—develops lustre

We Grow Accustomed to the Dark
We grow accustomed to the Dark --
We learned the Whole of Love

We like march, his shoes are purple,
We like March, his shoes are purple,
We'll pass without the parting

We lose—because we win
21
We met as Sparks—Diverging Flints

Went Up A Year This Evening!
Went up a year this evening!
We outgrow love like other things
We outgrow love like other things
We play at Paste
We play at Paste—
We pray—to Heaven
489
Wert Thou but ill—that I might show thee
961
We see—Comparatively
534
We should not mind so small a flower

"We talked as Girls do-"
586
We thirst at first—'tis Nature's Act

What care the Dead, for Chanticleer

What Inn is this
115
What is—
215
What I see not, I better see

What shall I do—it whimpers so
186
What shall I do when the Summer troubles
956
What Soft—Cherubic Creatures
401
What would I give to see his face?

When Bells stop ringing—Church—begins
633
When Diamonds are a Legend
397
When I count the seeds
40
When I have seen the Sun emerge
888
When I hoped, I recollect
768
When I was small, a Woman died
596
When Katie walks, this simple pair accompany her side
222
When Night is almost done
347
When One has given up One's life

When Roses cease to bloom, Sir
32
When the Astronomer stops seeking
851
When we stand on the tops of Things
242
Where bells no more affright the morn
112
Where I have lost, I softer tread
104
Where Ships of Purple—gently toss
265
Where Thou art—that—is Home
725
Whether my bark went down at sea
52
While Asters—
331
While it is alive
491
Who Court obtain within Himself
803
Who Giants know, with lesser Men
796
Whole Gulfs—of Red, and Fleets—of Red
658
Who never lost, are unprepared
73
Who occupies this House?
892
Whose are the little beds, I asked
142
Whose cheek is this?
82
Why do I love You, Sir?
"Why do I love" You, Sir?
Why—do they shut Me out of Heaven?
248
Why make it doubt—it hurts it so
462
Wild Nights! Wild Nights!
Wild Nights! Wild Nights!
Will there really be a

With thee, in the Desert

Would you like summer? Taste of ours
691
You cannot put a Fire out
530
You constituted Time
765
You know that Portrait in the Moon
504
You left me—Sire—two Legacies
644
You'll find—it when you try to die
610
You'll know Her—by Her Foot
634
You'll know it—as you know 'tis Noon
420
You love me—you are sure
156
You love the Lord—you cannot see
487
You're right—
234
Your Riches—taught me—Poverty
299
You said that I
You said that I "was Great"—one Day—
You see I cannot see—your lifetime
253
You taught me Waiting with Myself
740
You've seen Balloons set—Haven't You?
