LOOK at the stars ! look, look up at the skies ! O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air ! The bright boroughs, the quivering citadels there! The dim woods quick with diamond wells ; the elf-eyes ! The grey lawns cold where quaking gold-dew lies ! Wind-beat white-beam ; airy abeles all on flare ! Flake-doves sent floating out at a farmyard scare ! — Ah well ! it is a purchase and a prize. Buy then! Bid then ! — What? — Prayer, patience, alms, vows. Look, look ! a Maj--mess, like on orcha...rd boughs ; Look 1 March-bloom, like on mealed-with-yellow sallows. — These are indeed the barn : within-doors house The shocks. This piece-bright pahng hides the Spouse Christ, and the mother of Christ and all his hallows. 1 68 GERARD HOPKINS. IV. — SPRING. 1877. NOTHING is so beautiful as spring — When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush : Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing ; The glassy pear-tree leaves and blooms, they brush The descending blue ; that blue is all in a rush With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.
