Analysis of To Him Who Ever Thought with Love of Me
Gerard Manley Hopkins 1844 (Stratford, London) – 1889 (Dublin)
To him who ever thought with love of me
Or ever did for my sake some good deed
I will appear, looking such charity
And kind compassion, at his life’s last need
That he will out of hand and heartily
Repent he sinned and all his sins be freed.
