LORY 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; |
Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;
| And áll trádes, 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.
