Gerard Manley Hopkins - Thee, God, I Come from
Work rating: Low

Thee, God, I come from, to thee go,  
All day long I like fountain flow  
From thy hand out, swayed about  
Mote-like in thy mighty glow.  
  
What I know of thee I bless,
As acknowledging thy stress  
On my being and as seeing  
Something of thy holiness.  
  
Once I turned from thee and hid,  
Bound on what thou hadst forbid;
Sow the wind I would; I sinned:  
I repent of what I did.  
  
Bad I am, but yet thy child.  
Father, be thou reconciled.  
Spare thou me, since I see
With thy might that thou art mild.  
  
I have life before me still  
And thy purpose to fulfil;  
Yea a debt to pay thee yet:  
Help me, sir, and so I will.
  
But thou bidst, and just thou art,  
Me shew mercy from my heart  
Towards my brother, every other  
Man my mate and counterpart.
