WINDHOVER
1968
THE WINDHOVER:
To Christ Our Lord
I caught this morning morning's minion, king-
dom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon,
in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and
striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling
wing
In his ecstacy ! then off, off forth on swing,
As a skate's heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend : the
hurl and gliding
Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird, — the achieve of, the mastery of the
thing!
Brute beauty and valor and act, oh, air, pride,
plume, here
Buckle! AND the fire that breaks from thee then, a
billion
Times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my chevalier!
No wonder of it : sheer plod makes plow down sillion
Shine, and blue-bleak embers, ah my dear.
Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermilion.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
