All Poems

As a bad orator, badly o'er-book-skilled,

As the lone, frighted user of a night-road

As to a child, I talked my heart asleep

Autopsychography

Beauty and love let no one separate,

Even as upon a low and cloud-domed day,

Good. I have done. My heart weighs. I am sad

Happy the maimed, the halt, the mad, the blind--

He that goes back does, since he goes, advance,

How can I think, or edge my thoughts to action,

How many masks wear we, and undermasks,

How yesterday is long ago! The past

I am older than Nature and her Time

I could not think of thee as piecèd rot,

I do not know what truth the false untruth

If that apparent part of life's delight

Indefinite space, which, by co-substance night,

Like a bad suitor desperate and trembling

Like to a ship that storms urge on its course,

My love, and not I, is the egoist

My soul is a stiff pageant, man by man,

My weary life, that lives unsatisfied

Ode of Ricardo Reis

Oh to be idle loving idleness!

Para Ser Grande

Portuguese sea

Something in me was born before the stars

The edge of the green wave whitely doth hiss

The world is woven all of dream and error

Thought was born blind, but Thought knows what is seeing

Thy words are torture to me, that scarce grieve thee--

We are born at sunset and we die ere morn,

We are in Fate and Fate's and do but lack

We never joy enjoy to that full point

When I do think my meanest line shall be

When I have sense of what to sense appears,

When I should be asleep to mine own voice

When in the widening circle of rebirth
