SOME candle clear burns somewhere I come by.
I muse at how its being puts blissful back
With yellowy moisture mild night's blear-all black,
Or to-fro tender trambeams truckle at the eye.
Hopkins begins with the candle as a metaphor for faith in God. Typically, there is no introduction or detailed explanation; what Hopkins describes speaks for itself. The image is concise and understandable. However, there is a vagueness about it; it is ‘some’ candle and it burns ‘somewhere’. The speaker seems purposeless; he simply ‘comes by’.
