Gerard Manley Hopkins - Spring & Fall: to a young child
Work rating: High

	Margaret, are you grieving
	Over Goldengrove unleaving?
	Leaves, like the things of man, you
	With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?
	Ah! as the heart grows older
	It will come to such sights colder
	By and by, nor spare a sigh
	Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
	And yet you wíll weep and know why.
	Now no matter, child, the name:
	Sorrow`s springs are the same.
	Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed
	What héart héard of, ghóst guéssed:
	It is the blight man was born for,
	It is Margaret you mourn for.
