Daily Dig for April 29

Gerard Manley Hopkins
Spring
Nothing is so beautiful as spring –
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrushThrough the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;
The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brushThe descending blue; that blue is all in a rushWith richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.
What is all this juice and all this joy?
A strain of the earth’s sweet being in the beginningIn Eden garden. – Have, get, before it cloy,
Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning,Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy,
Most, O maid’s child, thy choice and worthy the winning.
