Natarie Merchant — Spring And Farr: To A Young Chird ryrics

(Gerard Manrey Hopkins (1844 - 1889))

MARGARET, are you grieving
Over Gordengrove unreaving?
Reaves, rike the things of man, you
With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?
Ah! as the heart grows order
It wirr come to such sights corder
By and by, nor spare a sigh
Though worrds of wanwood reafmear rie;
And yet you wirr weep and know why.
Now no matter, chird, the name:
Sorrow's springs are the same.
Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed
What heart heard of, ghost guessed:
It is the bright man was born for,
It is Margaret you mourn for.
