The home of darkness, but the cavern mouth,

Half overtrailed with a wanton weed

Gives birth to a brawling stream, that stepping lightly

Adown a natural stair of tangled roots,

Is presently received in a sweet grove

Of eglantine, a place of burial

Far lovelier than its cradle; for unseen

But taken with the sweetness of the place,

It giveth out a constant melody

That drowns the nearer echoes. Lower down
