Glory be to God for dappled things--
       For skies of couple-colour as a brindled 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 all trades, 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:
             Praise him.
