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.
