Heaven-Haven

    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 (1864)
