Sexton at Day's Break

      Feldspar flecks find God's ground
      Flush with spring flashings, rainrun acres
      Gunwale-awash in gutterspill, goutings
      Wonder-wet with melt-marr, molten makings
5     Growing grousey graves'-grass grey in twilight;
      Unhouselled souls stir inchling, stem-stretch
      Twig-timbrels tautly aching, arch in arch,
      Unreal yet resurrected in raintime runoff;
      Many man-taking markings make me mourn so,
10    Seeing how light intends the least things be limber:
      God pours his pity on graceless things.
