Bee 03:55
Bee! I'm expecting you! Was saying Yesterday To Somebody you know That you were due— The Frogs got Home last Week— Are settled, and at work— Birds, mostly back— The Clover warm and thick— You'll get my Letter by The seventeenth; Reply Or better, be with me— Yours, Fly.
2.
While I was fearing it, it came, But came with less of fear, Because that fearing it so long Had almost made it dear. There is a fitting a dismay, A fitting a despair. ’T is harder knowing it is due, Than knowing it is here. The trying on the utmost, The morning it is new, Is terribler than wearing it A whole existence through.
3.
A Thought 03:51
A Thought went up my mind today - That I have had before - But did not finish – some way back - I could not fix the Year - Nor where it went – nor why it came The second time to me - Nor definitely, what it was - Have I the Art to say - But somewhere – in my Soul – I know - I’ve met the Thing before - It just reminded me – ’twas all - And came my way no more

Storm 02:43
IT sounded as if the streets were running, And then the streets stood still. Eclipse was all we could see at the window, And awe was all we could feel. By and by the boldest stole out of his covert, To see if time was there. Nature was in her beryl apron, Mixing fresher air.
5.
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.
6.
Remembrance 04:02
I HELD a jewel in my fingers And went to sleep. The day was warm, and winds were prosy; I said: “’T will keep.” I woke and chid my honest fingers,— The gem was gone; And now an amethyst remembrance Is all I own.
7.
The Wind 02:32
How lonesome the Wind must feel Nights — When people have put out the Lights And everything that has an Inn Closes the shutter and goes in — How pompous the Wind must feel Noons Stepping to incorporeal Tunes Correcting errors of the sky And clarifying scenery How mighty the Wind must feel Morns Encamping on a thousand dawns Espousing each and spurning all Then soaring to his Temple Tall
8.
I'm Nobody 04:02
I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us — don't tell! They'd banish us, you know. How dreary to be somebody! How public, like a frog To tell your name the livelong day To an admiring bog!
9.
Till The End 04:29
I SHOULD not dare to leave my friend, Because—because if he should die While I was gone, and I—too late— Should reach the heart that wanted me; If I should disappoint the eyes That hunted, hunted so, to see, And could not bear to shut until They “noticed” me—they noticed me; If I should stab the patient faith So sure I’d come—so sure I’d come, It listening, listening, went to sleep Telling my tardy name,— My heart would wish it broke before, Since breaking then, since breaking then, Were useless as next morning’s sun, Where midnight frosts had lain!
