The Wedding March
“
I to him turn with tears, whose wonder-wedlock deals triumph and immortal years
The Gemstone Line
How does it sound? Why does it work?
The poem
God with honour hang your head,
Groom, and grace you, bride, your bed
With lissome scions, sweet scions,
Out of hallowed bodies bred.
Give the gift of love!
Buy “The Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins (Oxford)” as a wedding present.
