Gerard Manley Hopkins — Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins Now First Published Chap. 13

13 Pied Beauty 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 àll tràdes, 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.
