Heaven-Haven (Gerard Manley Hopkins)


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, 
Heaven-Haven 

In November we remember All Souls...
