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 & pieced - fold, fallow, & plough;
And 'all trades, their gear & tackle &
trim.
All things counter, original, sp'are, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckl`ed, (who knows how?)
With sw'ift, sl'ow; sweet, s'our; ad'azzle, d'im;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is p'ast change:
Pr'aise h'im.
1877
