Gerard Manley Hoplins -- Great Poems of the World, episode 19, with David Lehman and Mitch Sisskind

An odd duck and a great one!

Spring and Fall
    to a young child (1880)

Márgarét, áre you gríeving

Over Goldengrove unleaving?

Leáves like the things of man, you

With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?

Ah! ás the heart grows older

It will come to such sights colder

By and by, nor spare a sigh

Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;

And yet you wíll weep and know why.

Now no matter, child, the name:

Sórrow’s spríngs áre the same.

Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed

What heart heard of, ghost guessed:

It ís the blight man was born for,

It is Margaret you mourn for.

I'm there. And so are you.

HopLins? He had sprung rhythm and more education than the rest of us put together.
This ridiculous typo ought to have been corrected the day after your tech "vendor" sent it out a week or so ago. Bashert!
