Pied Beauty

by Gerald Manley Hopkins

 

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；

Landscapes plotted and pieced—fold， fallow， and plough；

And all trades， their gear and tackle and 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.

荣耀归于上帝，创造了多彩，多姿，而不是单调，单一的世界。
