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...
