What Being in Rank-Old Nature

by Gerard Manley Hopkins

What being in rank-old nature should earlier have that breath been

That hйre pйrsonal tells off these heart-song powerful peals?—

A bush-browed, beetle-brуwed bнllow is it?

With a soъth-wйsterly wнnd blъstering, with a tide rolls reels

Of crumbling, fore-foundering, thundering all-surfy seas in; seen

Ъnderneath, their glassy barrel, of a fairy green.

. . . . . . . .

Or a jaunting vaunting vaulting assaulting trumpet telling
