Gerard Manley Hopkins - Heaven--Haven: A Nun Takes The Veil

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.
