Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins · Gerard Manley Hopkins

Heaven--Haven A nun takes the veil

3 of 73 · 1 min of reading

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.
