Binsey Poplars
‘Binsey Poplars’ is a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889), written in 1879. The poem was inspired by the felling of a row of poplar trees near the village of Binsey, northwest of Oxford, England, and overlooking Port Meadow on the bank of the River Thames. The replacements for these trees, running from Binsey north to Godstow, lasted until 2004, when replanting began again.
The Bodleian Library of Oxford University holds a draft manuscript of the poem, handwritten by Hopkins,
