Do you like this Manley-Hopkins poem? I love the imagery.




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
