How does it feel
to treat me like you do,
when you laid your hands upon me
and told me who you are?
I thought I was mistaken.
I thought I heard your words.
But tell me how do I feel?
Tell me now how do I feel?

I think this Gerard Manley Hopkins poem has some of the best sounds I know in English. When I read him aloud, I really feel it, his interesting rhythms, his sonics. He had a special ear. Try reading him aloud if wanted, it's a cool experience to get Hopkins in your head.
