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.

So twice five miles of fertile ground
  With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
  Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
  Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

<poem> 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.

So twice five miles of fertile ground

 With walls and towers were girdled round:

And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,

 Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;

And here were forests ancient as the hills,

 Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
