Heaven-Haven
A nun takes the veil

I have desired to go
            Where springs not fail,
                     To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.

And I have asked to be
           Where no storms come,
                      Where the green swell is in the havens dumb,
           And out of the swing of the sea.

                                                                                           – Gerard Manley Hopkins 
                                                                                               written between 1860 and 1875
