Gerard Manley Hopkins - The Sea And The SkylarkGerard Manley Hopkins - The Sea And The Skylark
Work rating: Low


On ear and ear two noises too old to end  Trench—right, the tide that ramps against the shore;  With a flood or a fall, low lull-off or all roar, Frequenting there while moon shall wear and wend. Left hand, off land, I hear the lark ascend,  His rash-fresh re-winded new-skeinèd score  In crisps of curl off wild winch whirl, and pour And pelt music, till none `s to spill nor spend. How these two shame this shallow and frail town!  How ring right out our sordid turbid time, Being pure! We, life`s pride and cared-for crown,  Have lost that cheer and charm of earth`s past prime: Our make and making break, are breaking, down  To man`s last dust, drain fast towards man`s first slime.
