Hyla Brook
I came an errand one cloud-blowing evening
I didn’t make you know how glad I was
I dwell in a lonely house I know
I had for my winter evening walk—
I had withdrawn in forest, and my song
I left you in the morning,
I let myself in at the kitchen door
I slumbered with your poems on my breast
I stayed the night for shelter at a farm
I walked down alone Sunday after church
I went to turn the grass once after one
I wonder about the trees
If tired of trees I seek again mankind,
In a Vale
In Equal Sacrifice
In Neglect
In the Home Stretch
Into My Own
It is blue-butterfly day here in spring,
It was far in the sameness of the wood;
It went many years,
I’m going out to clean the pasture spring;
I’ve known ere now an interfering branch
Lancaster bore him—such a little town,

On a Tree Fallen Across the Road
Once on the kind of day called “weather breeder,”
One of my wishes is that those dark trees,
One ought not to have to care

Others taunt me with having knelt at well-curbs
