Pied Beauty

I was recently reading one of my favorite poems by Gerard Manly Hopkins entitled, "Pied Beauty". It is a beautiful poem praising God and his creations. From what I have read about Hopkins, his poetry created a massive struggle because of his religious position as a priest. He believed that publishing his poetry would create egotism which would be a sin. My question is, how could he possibly be focusing on himself when his works were so focused on praising God?

Pied Beauty:

GLORY be to God for dappled things—
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;	5
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:	10
Praise him.
