PIED BEAUTY BY GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS(1844-1889)

                            Glory to be God for dappled things-

                               For skies of couple colors as a brinded cow;

                                  For rose moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;

                            Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;

                               Landscape plotted and pieced- fold, fallow, and plough;

                                  And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.

                            All things counter, original, spare and strange;

                                Whatever it fickle, freckled (who knows how?)

                                    With swift, slow; sweet, sour, adazzle, dim;

                            He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:

                                                                                         Praise him.
