Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins 8Hopkins 9

 

Her fond yellow hornlight wound to the west, ' her wild hollow
  hoarlight hung to the height
Waste; her earliest stars, earl-stars, ' stárs principal, overbend us,
Fíre-féaturing heaven. For earth ' her being has unbound, her
  dapple is at an end, as-
tray or aswarm, all throughther, in throngs; ' self ín self steepèd
   and páshed--qúite
Disremembering, dísmémbering ' áll now.
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins. (1844-1889) "Spelt from Sibyl's Leaves," Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins now first published, edited with notes by Robert Bridges. London: Humphrey Milford, 1918.
