I would in that sweet bosom be <br />(O sweet it is and fair it is!) <br />Where no rude wind might visit me. <br />Because of sad austerities <br />I would in that sweet bosom be. <br /> <br />I would be ever in that heart <br />(O soft I knock and soft entreat her!) <br />Where only peace might be my part. <br />Austerities were all the sweeter <br />So I were ever in that heart.<br /><br />James Joyce<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-would-in-that-sweet-bosom-be/
