Usage in poetry
Hope has many a gladsome note
Now and then to pipe;
But, alas, he has the throat
Of a bird unripe.
At home, no rich fruit, hanging low,
Have I for Love to pull;
Only unripe things that must grow
Till Autumn's maund be full!
How nature, sensing this, compounds her bitters.
Ungifted, ungrieved, our leavetaking.
The sun shines on unripe corn.
Cats play in the stalks.
Thoughts yet unripe in me I bend one way,
Give one repose to pain I know not now,
One leaven to joy that comes, I guess not how.
I dedicate my fields when Spring is grey.
For other songs are his. But ours are still
Those his lips utter'd of his hopes and fears,
Dropt like a stone in the lake with unripe skill,
To send a tiny ripple through the years.
Because from selfishness and wrath,
Our cold and hot extremes of ill,
We grope and stagger on the path—
Thou tell'st us from thy holy hill,
With icy storms and sunshine rude,
That we are all unripe in good.
