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?
