Samuel Taylor Coleridge – The Complete Poems
From This lime tree bower my prison
No ply so narrow, be but Nature there
No waste so vacant, but may well employ
Each faculty of sense and keep the heart
Awake to Love and Beauty! And sometimes
'Tis well to be bereft of promised good,
That we may lift the Soul and contemplate
With lively joy the joys we cannot share
