'PIED BEAUTY' --A POEM BY 'GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS' ON HIS BIRTHDAY !

''Pied Beauty''

G.M.HOPKINS
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

GLORY be to God for dappled things—
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;

And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:

Praise him.

By- GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS.
(28 JULY,1844 -- 10 JUNE, 1889).
