A*
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
B
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
A
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
A
Through caverns measureless to man
B
Down to a sunless sea.
C
So twice five miles of fertile ground
C
With walls and towers were girdled round;
D
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
B
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
D
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
B
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
 
 
E
But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
F
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
E
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
E*
As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted
F
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
G
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
G
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
H
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
H
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
I
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
I
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher’s flail:
J
And mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
J
It flung up momently the sacred river.
K
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
A
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
A
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
K
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean;
L*
And ’mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
L*
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
M
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
N
Floated midway on the waves;
M
Where was heard the mingled measure
N
From the fountain and the caves.
O
It was a miracle of rare device,
O
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!
 
 
P*
A damsel with a dulcimer
P*
In a vision once I saw:
Q
It was an Abyssinian maid
Q
And on her dulcimer she played,
P*
Singing of Mount Abora.
B
Could I revive within me
R
Her symphony and song,
B
To such a deep delight ’twould win me,
R
That with music loud and long,
S
I would build that dome in air,
O
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
S
And all who heard should see them there,
S
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
S
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
O
Weave a circle round him thrice,
T
And close your eyes with holy dread
T
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
O
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
