Spring And Fall: To A Young Child
(*Gerard Manley Hopkins) [** Disc 2:]
Margaret, are you grieving* Over Goldengrove unleaving By and by
Leaves, like the things of man, you With your fresh thoughts care for, can you As the heart grows older It will come to such sights much colder By and by, nor spare a sigh By and by
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie And yet you will weep and know why No matter, child, the name Sorrow's springs are all the same They're all the same
Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed What heart heard of, ghost guessed It is the blight man was born for It is Margaret that you mourn for
