Day’s Verse:

The heavens delcare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

Ps. 19:1

Glory be to God for dappled things –

For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;

For rose-moles in all stipple upon trout that swim;

Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls, finches’ wings;

Landscape plotted and pieced – fold, fallow, and plugh;

And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter, original, spare, strange;

Whatever is fickle, freclked (who knows how?)

With swift, slow; spweet, sour; adazzle, dim;

He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change;

Praise him.
