Heaven Haven
By Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
 
(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        5
          Where no storms come,
Where the green swell is in the havens dumb,
        And out of the swing of the sea.
