« All quotes from this author
 

An Arab, by his earnest gaze,
Has clothed a lovely maid with blushes;
A smile within his eyelids plays
And into words his longing gushes.

Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.

Poised above in airy grace,
Virgin white, suffused with blushes,
Shyly droops her lovely face.

Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is —
Christ — for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.

 
Gerard Manley Hopkins
