Spring Nears 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. (p. 19) Hopkins, Gerard Manley. "Heaven-Haven." 1864.
