Gerard Manley Hopkins - The Candle IndoorsGerard Manley Hopkins - The Candle Indoors
Work rating: Low


Some candle clear burns somewhere I come by. I muse at how its being puts blissful back With yellowy moisture mild night`s blear-all black, Or to-fro tender trambeams truckle at the eye. By that window what task what fingers ply, I plod wondering, a-wanting, just for lack Of answer the eagerer a-wanting Jessy or Jack There    God to aggrándise, God to glorify.— Come you indoors, come home; your fading fire Mend first and vital candle in close heart`s vault: You there are master, do your own desire; What hinders? Are you beam-blind, yet to a fault In a neighbour deft-handed? Are you that liar And, cast by conscience out, spendsavour salt?
