Gerard Manley Hopkins - The Starlight NightGerard Manley Hopkins - The Starlight Night
Work rating: Low


Look at the stars! look, look up at the skies!   O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!   The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there! Down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves`-eyes! The grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold lies!   Wind-beat whitebeam! airy abeles set on a flare!   Flake-doves sent floating forth at a farmyard scare! Ah well! it is all a purchase, all is a prize. Buy then! bid then! What? Prayer, patience, alms, vows.   Look, look: a May-mess, like on orchard boughs! Look! March-bloom, like on mealed-with-yellow sallows!   These are indeed the barn; withindoors house   The shocks. This piece-bright paling shuts the spouse Christ home, Christ and his mother and all his hallows.
