Here you will find the Poem At the Wedding-March of poet Gerard Manley Hopkins

At the Wedding-March

God with honour hang your head, 
Groom, and grace you, bride, your bed 
With lissome scions, sweet scions, 
Out of hallowed bodies bred. 

Each be other?s comfort kind:
Déep, déeper than divined, 
Divine charity, dear charity, 
Fast you ever, fast bind. 

Then let the March tread our ears: 
I to him turn with tears
Who to wedlock, his wonder wedlock, 
Déals tríumph and immortal years.
