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.

That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And should cry, Potentates! Beware!
Their flashing eyes, their floating hair!
Weave a circle round them thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread
For they on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
