71. 'Strike, churl; hurl, cheerless wind, then; heltering hail'. Hopkins, Gerard Manley. 1918. Poems

Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–89). Poems. 1918.

71. ‘Strike, churl; hurl, cheerless wind, then; heltering hail’


STRIKE, churl; hurl, cheerless wind, then; heltering hail
May’s beauty massacre and wispèd wild clouds grow
Out on the giant air; tell Summer No,
Bid joy back, have at the harvest, keep Hope pale.
