Between the mountain and the sea <br /> I've made a happy landing; <br />And here a peace has come to me <br /> That passeth understanding; <br />A shining faith and purity <br /> Beyond demanding. <br /> <br />With palm below and pine above, <br /> Where wings of gulls are gleaming; <br />By orange tree and olive grove, <br /> From walls of airy seeming, <br />My roses beg me not to rove, <br /> But linger dreaming. <br /> <br />So I'm in love with life again, <br /> And would with joy dissever <br />My days from ways of worldly men, <br /> And mingle with them never: <br />Let silken roses to my ken <br /> Whisper forever.<br /><br />Robert William Service<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eyrie/
