The Times Are Nightfall, Look, Their Light Grows Less
THE times are nightfall, look, their light grows less;The times are winter, watch, a world undone:
They waste, they wither worse; they as they run
Or bring more or more blazon man's distress.
And I not help. Nor word now of success:
All is from wreck, here, there, to rescue one--
Work which to see scarce so much as begun
Makes welcome death, does dear forgetfulness.
Or what is else? There is your world within.
There rid the dragons, root out there the sin.
Your will is law in that small commonweal . . .
(The end)
Gerard Manley Hopkins's poem: Times Are Nightfall, Look, Their Light Grows Less

The motion of that man's heart

Under her banner live for her honour.Not the pleasure, the pay, the plunder,But country and flag, the flag I am under--There is the shilling that finds me willingTo follow a banner and fight for honour. CH. We follow her banner, we fight for her honour.Call me England's fame's fond lover,Her fame to keep, her fame to recover.Spend me or end me what God
