"I wake and feel the fell of dark not day

by Gerard Manley Hopkins

I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day,

What hour, O what black hours we have spent

This night! What sights you, heart, saw; ways you went!

And more must, in yet longer light's delay,

-With witness I speak this. But where I say

Hours I mean years, mean life. And my lament

Is cries countless, cries like dead letters sent

To deares him that lives alas! away.

-I am gall, I am heartburn. God's most deep decree

Bitter would have me taste: my taste was me;

Bones built in me, fless filled, blood brimmed the cures.

-Selfyeast of spirit a dull dough sours. I see

The lost are like this, and their scourge to be

As I am mine, their sweating selves; but worse."
