LONELINESS	A
Her Word	B
	-
One ought not to have to care	C
So much as you and I	D
Care when the birds come round the house	E
To seem to say good bye	D
Or care so much when they come back	F
With whatever it is they sing	G
The truth being we are as much	H
Too glad for the one thing	G
As we are too sad for the other here	I
With birds that fill their breasts	J
But with each other and themselves	K
And their built or driven nests	J
	-
HOUSE FEAR	L
	-
Always I tell you this they learned	M
Always at night when they returned	M
To the lonely house from far away	N
To lamps unlighted and fire gone gray	N
They learned to rattle the lock and key	O
To give whatever might chance to be	O
Warning and time to be off in flight	P
And preferring the out to the in door night	P
They learned to leave the house door wide	Q
Until they had lit the lamp inside	Q
	-
THE SMILE	R
Her Word	B
	-
I didn't like the way he went away	N
That smile It never came of being gay	N
Still he smiled did you see him I was sure	S
Perhaps because we gave him only bread	T
And the wretch knew from that that we were poor	U
Perhaps because he let us give instead	T
Of seizing from us as he might have seized	V
Perhaps he mocked at us for being wed	T
Or being very young and he was pleased	V
To have a vision of us old and dead	T
I wonder how far down the road he's got	W
He's watching from the woods as like as not	W
	-
THE OFT REPEATED DREAM	X
	-
She had no saying dark enough	Y
For the dark pine that kept	Z
Forever trying the window latch	A2
Of the room where they slept	Z
The tireless but ineffectual hands	B2
That with every futile pass	C2
Made the great tree seem as a little bird	B
Before the mystery of glass	C2
It never had been inside the room	D2
And only one of the two	E2
Was afraid in an oft repeated dream	X
Of what the tree might do	E2
	-
THE IMPULSE	F2
	-
It was too lonely for her there	C
And too wild	G2
And since there were but two of them	H2
And no child	G2
And work was little in the house	E
She was free	O
And followed where he furrowed field	I2
Or felled tree	O
She rested on a log and tossed	J2
The fresh chips	K2
With a song only to herself	L2
On her lips	K2
And once she went to break a bough	M2
Of black alder	N2
She strayed so far she scarcely heard	B
When he called her	N2
And didn't answer didn't speak	O2
Or return	P2
She stood and then she ran and hid	Q2
In the fern	P2
He never found her though he looked	R2
Everywhere	C
And he asked at her mother's house	E
Was she there	C
Sudden and swift and light as that	S2
The ties gave	T2
And he learned of finalities	E
Besides the grave	T2
