A Poem A Day from the George Hail Library ~ Selected by Maria Horvath: Spring
Excerpt:
...............
What is all this juice and all this joy?
A strain of the earth’s sweet being in the beginning
In Eden garden. – Have, get, before it cloy,
Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning,
Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy,
Most, O maid’s child, thy choice and worthy the winning.
~ Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J.
