And make my dwelling in your changeless heart;

And there in some quiet glade,

Some virgin plot of turf, some innermost dell,

Pure with cool water and inviolate shade,

I'll build a blameless altar to the dear

And kindly gods who guard your haunts so well

From hurt or fear.

There I will dream day-long,

And honour them in many sacred ways,

With hushèd melody and uttered song,
