Hopkins 1880 poem

C (x32010@1)      D (xx0232@1)             
Margaret, are you grieving
G (320003@1)           C (x32010@1)              EmOver (022000@1)golden grove unleaving?   By and by
C (x32010@1)                 D (xx0232@1)              
Leaves, like the things of man, you
G (320003@1)                        C (x32010@1)               EmWith (022000@1)your fresh thoughts care for, can you?
C (x32010@1)          DAh! (xx0232@1)as the heart grows older
G (320003@1)                     CIt (x32010@1)will come to such sights colder
Em (022000@1)             D (xx0232@1)          CBy (x32010@1)and by, nor spare a sigh, by and by
C (x32010@1)                D (xx0232@1)              GThough (320003@1)worlds of wanwood leafmeal  lie;
                   C (x32010@1)          EmAnd (022000@1)yet you will weep and know why.
         DNow (xx0232@1)no matter, child, the name:
   C (x32010@1)                                               EmSorrows' (022000@1)springs are all the same.  They're all the same.
C (x32010@1)             D (xx0232@1)             GNor (320003@1)mouth had, no nor mind, expressed
             C (x32010@1)              EmWhat (022000@1)heart heard of, ghost guessed:
C (x32010@1)               DIt (xx0232@1)is the blight man was born for,
G (320003@1)             C (x32010@1)                 Em (022000@1)It is Margaret  that you mourn for.
