In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree
:
Where Alph, the sacred river,
ran
Through caverns measureless
to man
Down
to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile
ground
With walls and towers were girdled
round :
And there were gardens bright
with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing
tree ;
And here were forests ancient
as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. |
