| QUOTATION: | My aspens dear, whose airy cages quelled, Quelled or quenched in leaves the leaping sun, All felled, felled, are all felled; Of a fresh and following folded rank Not spared, not one That dandled a sandalled Shadow that swam or sank On meadow and river and wind-wandering weed-winding bank. |
| ATTRIBUTION: | Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889), British poet, Jesuit priest. Binsey Poplars, st. 1 (written 1879), published in Poems (1918). |
