The Rainbow
Gerard Manley Hopkins
See on one hand
He drops his bright roots in the water'd sward,
And rosing part, on part dispenses green;
But with his other foot three miles beyond
He rises from the flocks of villages
That bead the plain; did ever Havering church-tower
Breathe in such ether? Or the Quickly elms
Slight with such violet their bright-mask'd green?
