Whoever disenchants
A single Human soul
By failure of irreverence
Is guilty of the whole.
As guileless as a Bird
As graphic as a star
Till the suggestion sinister
Things are not what they are —

You cannot take itself

Wonder - is not precisely Knowing

Wolfe demanded during dying

Without this - there is nought -

Without a smile - Without a Throe

Within thy Grave!

Within that little Hive

Within my reach!

Within my Garden, rides a Bird

With thee, in the Desert -

With sweetness unabated

Witchcraft has not a Pedigree

Why - do they shut Me out of Heaven?

Whose Pink career may have a close

Whose cheek is this?

Whose are the little beds, I asked

Whole Gulfs - of Red, and Fleets - of Red -

Whoever disenchants
-
Who were "the Father and the Son"
-
Who saw no Sunrise cannot say
-
Who occupies this House?
-
Who never wanted - maddest Joy
-
Who never lost, are unprepared
-
Who is the East?

Who is it seeks my Pillow Nights -
-
Who has not found the Heaven - below -
-
Who goes to dine must take his Feast
-
Who Giants know, with lesser Men
-
Who Court obtain within Himself
-
Who abdicated Ambush
-
White as an Indian Pipe
-
While we were fearing it, it came -
-
While it is alive
-
While Asters -
-
Which misses most,
-
Which is the best - the Moon or the Crescent?
-
Which is best? Heaven -
-
Whether they have forgotten
-
Whether my bark went down at sea -
-
Where Thou art - that - is Home -
-
Where Ships of Purple - gently toss -
-
Where Roses would not dare to go,
-
Where I have lost, I softer tread -
-
Where every bird is bold to go
-
Where bells no more affright the morn -
-
When we stand on the tops of Things -
-
When we have ceased to care
-
When they come back - if Blossoms do -
-
When the Astronomer stops seeking
-
When Roses cease to bloom, Sir,
-
When One has given up One's life
-
When Night is almost done -
-
When Memory is full
-
When Katie walks, this simple pair accompany her side,
-
When I was small, a Woman died -
-
When I hoped, I recollect
-
When I hoped I feared -
-
When I have seen the Sun emerge
-
When I count the seeds
-
When Etna basks and purrs
-
When Diamonds are a Legend,
-
When Bells stop ringing - Church - begins
-
When a Lover is a Beggar
-
Whatever it is - she has tried it -
-
What would I give to see his face?
-
What we see we know somewhat
-
What Twigs We held by -
-
What tenements of clover
-
What Soft - Cherubic Creatures -
-
What shall I do when the Summer troubles -
-
What shall I do - it whimpers so -
-
What mystery pervades a well!
-
What is - "Paradise" -
-
What Inn is this
-
What if I say I shall not wait!
-
What I see not, I better see -
-
What I can do - I will -
-
What did They do since I saw Them?
-
What care the Dead, for Chanticleer -
-
Wert Thou but ill - that I might show thee
-
Were natural mortal lady
-
Were it to be the last
-
Were it but Me that gained the Height -
-
Went up a year this evening!
-
We'll pass without the parting
-
We wear our sober Dresses when we die,
-
We thirst at first - 'tis Nature's Act -
-
We talked with each other about each other
-
We talked as Girls do -
-
We shun it ere it comes,
-
We shun because we prize her Face
-
We should not mind so small a flower -
-
We shall find the Cube of the Rainbow.
-
We send the Wave to find the Wave -
-
We see - Comparatively -
-
We pray - to Heaven -
-
We play at Paste -
-
We outgrow love, like other things
-
We never know we go when we are going -
-
We never know how high we are
-
We miss Her, not because We see -
