by Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844 - 1889)

Repeat that, repeat
Language: English 
Repeat that, repeat,	
Cuckoo, bird, and open ear wells, heart-springs, delightfully sweet,	
With a ballad, with a ballad, a rebound	
Off trundled timber and scoops of the hillside ground, hollow hollow hollow ground:	
The whole landscape flushes on a sudden at a sound.
