- this is a poem that is parts of two poems by
e.e.cummings (1st half) and Gerard Manley Hopkins (2nd half).
I thank you God for this most amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and for a blue true dream of sky
for all things counter, original, spare, strange:
whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
with swift, slow; sweet, sour; a dazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise Him.
