O for one spot of living green, One little spot where leaves can grow,-- To love unblamed, to walk unseen, To dream above, to sleep below!Holmes. There are in this loud stunning tide, Of human care and crime, With whom the melodies abide Of th' everlasting chime; And to wise hearts this certain hope is given; "No mist that man may raise, shall hide the eye of Heaven."Keble.
