Hope had mourning on,
Trenched with tears, carved with cares,
Hope was twelve hours gone.

American-outward-bound,
Take settler and seamen, tell men with women,
Two hundred souls in the round.

O at lightning and lashed rod;
Thou heardst me truer than tongue confess
Thy terror, O Christ, O God.

Gerard Manley Hopkins

Thou mastering me
God! giver of breath and bread;
World's strand, sway of the sea;
Lord of living and dead;
Thou hast bound bones and veins in me, fastened me flesh,
And after it almost unmade, what with dread,
Thy doing: and dost thou touch me afresh?
Over again I feel thy finger and find thee.
