first line (public domain): Wings have we, and as far as we can go We may find pleasure: wilderness and wood, Blank ocean and mere sky, support that mood Which with the lofty sanctifies the low: Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know, Are a substantial world, both pure and good: Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood, Our pastime and our happiness will grow. There find I personal themes, a plenteous store, Matter wherein right voluble am I, To which I listen with a ready ear. Two shall be named, pre-eminently dear: – The gentle lady married to the Moor, And heavenly Una with her milk-white Lamb.
