This I saw with my own eyes:
A cliff-swallow
Made her nest in a hole of the high clay-bank
There near Miller's Ford.

To devour the brood.
Then the mother swallow with... (Read full poem)

Securely sunning in a forest glade,
A mild, well-meaning snake
Approved the adaptations he had made
For safety’s sake.

Its mottled camouflage, its look of mail,
And was content that he had thought to add

his weed
and the writing
be of words, slow and quick, sharp

Better that every fiber crack
and fury make head,
blood drenching vivid

Ten years together without yet a cloud,
They seek each other's eyes at intervals
Of gratefulness to firelight and four walls
For love's obliteration of the crowd.

And bowered as few may be, their joy recalls
No... (Read full poem)

Of the crippled, the widow and orphan,

There is menace
in its relentless course, round and round,

I never told the buried gold
Upon the hill -- that lies --

A pace had been between --
Did but a snake bisect the brake
My life had forfeit... (Read full poem)

I am the only actor.
It is difficult for one woman
to act out a whole play.

All I am doing onstage is... (Read full poem)

its scarlet land... (Read full poem)

In Winter in my Room
I came upon a Worm --
Pink, lank and warm --
But as he was a worm

Not quite with him at home --

To something neighboring
And went along.
A Trifle afterward
A thing occurred

Bring down the moon for genteel Janet;
She's too refined for this gross planet.

You buy stockings, she purchases hose.

And she disrobes and you undress.
Confronted by... (Read full poem)
