Moonless Darkness Stands Between Comments

Darkness and moonless night, nicely used as metaphors.

A great tribute to the god

A nice tribute to the almighty!

A nice tribute to the almighty!

Very tight poem, expressing an intense devotion humbly yet eloquently (and it's not easy to use thou art and thou wert and still sound natural) . Hopkins is a master, and this poem is delightful to contemplate.

Seems Hopkins is inwardly seeking the perfection of GOD. Shirking vanities and looking for the light.

Catholic theology expressed with a poet’s special gifts, but material interest only to Catholics.

The poet's heart shines through this prayerful verse and G.M. Hopkins was in his short life a master of the arresting phrase..... being a priest he saw the world in terms of creative conflict at times with his God. This piece is a good example of his strength as a writer.

Nice way of invocation to overcome oblivion!

Expedient work, nonetheless stimulating!

Oh wow. This is a(n) very interesting poem. I really like it. I jope to read more poems like that. -smiles-

well, I believe it is a beautiful prayer, rather than a song...Although it's short it tells so much...

I like this! Does anyone know anything about it? It feels to me more like a song, except its too short.
