From Pied Beauty, 1918- Glory 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:
