Clifton Gorge1
Gerard Manley Hopkins
 
 
Balsam floods the woods, 
     swathing（包围） our senses 
 like moss2 swaddles roots and earth. 
     Ferns flutter in the shadow 
 of the wind moving through, 
     while we descend3 into the sanctuary（避难所） 
 of the gorge like the sun lowers 
     its long beams through the green 
 lattice of leaves above. We hope 
     to hit bottom as the thrush（画眉） 
 
throws its deep voice across the ravine 
     where a woodpecker knocks on a door 
 of oak and a lip of limestone4 loosens, 
     tumbles down, greets us at the stream, 
 which even now rips through rock, 
     then pools its energy along the banks 
 where minnows animate 
     the ruin, stirring the cup 
 brimming with revival5, their small bodies, 
     flashes of hallelujah.
