Forgotten Ground Regained
Pied Beauty
Glory be to God for dappled things --For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;Landscape plotted & pieced -- fold, fallow, & plough;And all trades, their gear & tackle & trim.All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled, (who knows how?)With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
