From Sonnets To Chris.
Read 1042 times on American Poems.
It will seem strange, no more this range on range
Of opening hopes and happenings. Strange to be
One's name no longer. Not caught up, not free.
Strange, not to wish one's wishes onward. Strange,
The looseness, slopping, time and space... (Read full poem)

The people along the sand
All turn and look one way.
They turn their back on the land.
They look at the sea all day.

A ship keeps raising its hull;
The wetter ground like glass
Reflects a standing gull
The land may vary... (Read full poem)

4. My Comrade - written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Read 444 times on American Poems.
Out from my window westward
I turn full oft my face;
But the mountains rebuke the vision
That would encompass space;
They lift their lofty foreheads
To the kiss of the clouds above,
And ask, "With all our glory,
Can we not win your... (Read full poem)
5. The Mystery - written by Sara Teasdale
Read 3047 times on American Poems.
Your eyes drink of me,
Love makes them shine,
Your eyes that lean
So close to mine.
We have long been lovers,
We know the range
Of each other's moods
And how they change;
But when we look
At each other so
Then we feel
How little we know;
The... (Read full poem)
6. The Wanderer - written by Alan Seeger
Read 1390 times on American Poems.
To see the clouds his spirit yearned toward so
Over new mountains piled and unploughed waves,
Back of old-storied spires and architraves
To watch Arcturus rise or Fomalhaut,
And roused by street-cries in strange tongues when day
Flooded... (Read full poem)

The Auctioneer of Parting
His "Going, going, gone"
Shouts even from the Crucifix,
And brings his Hammer down --
He only sells the Wilderness,
The prices of Despair
Range from a single human Heart
To Two -- not any more --(Read full poem)

Read 2422 times on American Poems.
The dogs greet me, I descend
into their world of fur and tongues
and then my wife and I embrace
as if we'd just closed the door
in a motel, our two girls slip in
between us and we're all saying
each other's names and the dogs
Buster and Sundown are... (Read full poem)

From The Black Riders & Other Lines.
Published in 1905.
Read 11276 times on American Poems.
Once there came a man
Who said,
"Range me all men of the world in rows."
And instantly
There was terrific clamour among the people
Against being ranged in rows.
There was a loud quarrel, world-wide.
It endured for ages;
And blood was shed
By those... (Read full poem)
10. I Know I Have Been Happiest - written by Dorothy Parker
From Enough Rope.
Published in 1926.
Read 6481 times on American Poems.
I know I have been happiest at your side;
But what is done, is done, and all's to be.
And small the good, to linger dolefully-
Gayly it lived, and gallantly it died.
I will not make you songs of hearts denied,
And you, being man, would have no tears... (Read full poem)

From Smoke and Steel.
Published in 1922.
Read 1080 times on American Poems.
THERE will be a rusty gun on the wall, sweetheart,
The rifle grooves curling with flakes of rust.
A spider will make a silver string nest in the darkest, warmest corner of it.
The trigger and the range-finder, they too will be rusty.
And no hands... (Read full poem)

From A Further Range.
Published in 1936.
Read 11981 times on American Poems.
The witch that came (the withered hag)
To wash the steps with pail and rag,
Was once the beauty Abishag,
The picture pride of Hollywood.
Too many fall from great and good
For you to doubt the likelihood.
Die early and avoid the fate.
Or if... (Read full poem)
13. Inspiration - written by Henry David Thoreau
Read 8406 times on American Poems.
Whate'er we leave to God, God does,
And blesses us;
The work we choose should be our own,
God leaves alone.
If with light head erect I sing,
Though all the Muses lend their force,
From my poor love of anything,
The verse is weak and... (Read full poem)

From Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson.
Published in 1955.
Read 2540 times on American Poems.
When they come back -- if Blossoms do --
I always feel a doubt
If Blossoms can be born again
When once the Art is out --
When they begin, if Robins may,
I always had a fear
I did not tell, it was their last Experiment
Last Year,
When it is May, if... (Read full poem)

From A Further Range.
Published in 1936.
Read 8958 times on American Poems.
A tree's leaves may be ever so good,
So may its bar, so may its wood;
But unless you put the right thing to its root
It never will show much flower or fruit.
But I may be one who does not care
Ever to have tree bloom or bear.
Leaves for smooth and... (Read full poem)

From Sunset Gun.
Published in 1928.
Read 3444 times on American Poems.
Back of my back, they talk of me,
Gabble and honk and hiss;
Let them batten, and let them be-
Me, I can sing them this:
"Better to shiver beneath the stars,
Head on a faithless breast,
Than peer at the night through rusted bars,
And share an... (Read full poem)
17. Digression On Number 1, 1948 - written by Frank O\'Hara
Read 1287 times on American Poems.
I am ill today but I am not
too ill. I am not ill at all.
It is a perfect day, warm
for winter, cold for fall.
A fine day for seeing. I see
ceramics, during lunch hour, by
Mir6, and I see the sea by Leger;
light, complicated Metzingers
and a rude... (Read full poem)

From Mountain Interval.
Published in 1916.
Read 3529 times on American Poems.
The battle rent a cobweb diamond-strung
And cut a flower beside a ground bird's nest
Before it stained a single human breast.
The stricken flower bent double and so hung.
And still the bird revisited her young.
A butterfly its fall had... (Read full poem)

I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth --
Assorted characters of death and blight
Mixed ready to begin the morning right,
Like the ingredients of a witches' broth... (Read full poem)

Published in 1936.
Read 4930 times on American Poems.
Grief may have thought it was grief.
Care may have thought it was care.
They were welcome to their belief,
The overimportant pair.

To the low roof over his bed,
Beginning when he was young,
To induce the one... (Read full poem)

Read 25417 times on American Poems.
Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast
In a field I looked into going past,
And the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
But a few weeds and stubble showing last.
The woods around it have it—it is theirs.
All animals are smothered in... (Read full poem)

Read 2620 times on American Poems.
I turn around on the gravel
and go back to the house for a book,
something to read at the doctor's office,
and while I am inside, running the finger
of inquisition along a shelf,
another me that did not bother
to go back to the house for a... (Read full poem)

Why did you turn back,
that hell should be reinhabited
of myself thus
swept into nothingness?
Why did you turn?
why did you glance back?
So you have swept me back--
I who could have walked with the live souls
above the earth.
I who could have... (Read full poem)
24. Lucky - written by Thomas Lux

One sweet pound of filet mignon
sizzles on the roadside. Let's say a hundred yards below
the buzzard. The buzzard
sees no cars or other buzzards
between the mountain range due north
and the horizon to the south
and across the desert west and east
no... (Read full poem)
25. February: Thinking of Flowers - written by Jane Kenyon
Read 2595 times on American Poems.
Now wind torments the field,
turning the white surface back
on itself, back and back on itself,
like an animal licking a wound.
Nothing but white--the air, the light;
only one brown milkweed pod
bobbing in the gully, smallest
brown boat on... (Read full poem)
