Where the mammoth came to drink;
Through brawn and bone I drave the stone
And slew him upon the brink.

As I gasp'd upon the brink,
Ere my fainting spirit fell
'T is to thee that I would drink.

I only wish a hut of stone,
(A very plain brown stone will do,)
That I may call my own;—
And close at hand is such a one,
In yonder street that fronts the sun.

We have imagined for the mighty dead;
All lovely tales that we have heard or read:
An endless fountain of immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heaven’s brink.

 
John Keats
