Editor's Selection of Poems
Hurrahing in Harvest

by Gerard Manley Hopkins

Summer ends now; now, barbarous in beauty, the stooks arise   
  Around; up above, what wind-walks! what lovely behaviour   
  Of silk-sack clouds! has wilder, wilful-wavier   
Meal-drift moulded ever and melted across skies?   
   
I walk, I lift up, I lift up heart, eyes,           
  Down all that glory in the heavens to glean our Saviour;   
  And, éyes, heárt, what looks, what lips yet gave you a   
Rapturous love’s greeting of realer, of rounder replies?   
   
And the azurous hung hills are his world-wielding shoulder   
  Majestic—as a stallion stalwart, very-violet-sweet!—   
These things, these things were here and but the beholder   
  Wanting; which two when they once meet,   
The heart rears wings bold and bolder   
  And hurls for him, O half hurls earth for him off under his feet.
