Transcriber's notes: The poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins contain unconventional English, accents and horizontal lines. Facsimile images of the poems as originally published are freely available online from the Internet Archive. Please use these images to check for any errors or inadequacies in this electronic text.
The editor's endnotes refer to the page numbers of the Author's Preface and to the first page of the Early Poems . I have therefore inserted these page numbers in round brackets: (1), (2), etc. up to (7). For pages 1 to 7 the line numbers in this electronic version are the same as those referred to in the editor's endnotes.
After page 7 this text mainly follows the editor's endnotes which, apart from the occasional page reference, refer to the poems by their numbers. For example:
In poem 26 I have retained the larger than normal spacing between the first and second words of the eighth line.
In poem 36 I have rendered the first word of line 28 as Óne. In the original the accent falls on the second letter but I did not have a text character to record this accurately.
