Kubla Khan

Or, a vision in a dream. A Fragment.

In ______ did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, ______ sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down ______ a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ______
With walls and towers were girdled round;
And there ______ gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
______ sunny spots of greenery.

But oh! that deep romantic ______ which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e’er ______ a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for ______ demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
______ if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
______ mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted ______
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain ______ the thresher’s flail:
And mid these dancing rocks at ______ and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
______ miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and ______ the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless ______ man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean;
______ ’mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices ______ war!
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated ______ on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
______ the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle ______ rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!

______ damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid
And on her dulcimer ______ played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within ______
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight ’twould win me,
That with music loud and long,
I ______ build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those ______ of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, ______ floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And ______ your eyes with holy dread
For he on honey-dew ______ fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
