I Wake And Feel The Fell Of Dark, Not Day

14 lines
Gerard Manley Hopkins·1844–1889
✦
wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.What hours, O what black hours we have spentThis night! what sights you, heart, saw; ways you went!And more must, in yet longer light's delay. With witness I speak this. But where I sayHours I mean years, mean life. And my lamentIs cries countless, cries like dead letters sentTo dearest him that lives alas! away. I am gall, I am heartburn. God's most deep decreesBitter would have me taste: my taste was me;Bones built in me, flesh filled, blood brimmed the curse. Selfyeast of spirit a dull dough sours. I seeThe lost are like this, and their scourge to beAs I am mine, their sweating selves, but worse.
