Wordsworth wrote several beautiful poems that characterize his affinity with Nature, including ‘My Hearts Leaps Up’, ‘Lines Composed A Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey’, ‘I wandered Lonely As A Cloud’, ‘The Solitary Reaper’, just to mention a few. “Society became my glittering bride, And airy hopes my children.”ģ2. “One daffodil is worth a thousand pleasures, then one is too few.”ģ1. “Therefore am I still a lover of the meadows and the woods, and mountains And of all that we behold From this green earth.”ģ0. “If this belief from heaven be sent, If such be Nature’s holy plan, have I not reason to lament What man has made of man?”Ģ9. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.”Ģ8. “Life is divided into three terms – that which was, which is, and which will be. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.”Ģ7. “What though the radiance that was once so bright, be now forever taken from my sight. “He is by nature led to peace so perfect that the young behold with envy, what the old man hardly feels.”Ģ6. “The world is too much with us late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers Little we see in nature that is ours We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!”Ģ5.

“Therefore, let the moon shine on thee in thy solitary walk And let the misty mountain winds be free to blow against thee.”Ģ4. “One impulse from a vernal wood may teach you more of man, of moral evil and of good than all the sages can.”Ģ3. “Knowing that nature never did betray the heart that loved her ‘Tis her privilege, through all the years of this our life, to lead from joy to joy.”Ģ2. “Trailing clouds of glory do we come, from God, who is our home….”Ģ1. “Thou unassuming common-place of nature, with that homely face.”Ģ0. “The mind of man is a thousand times more beautiful than the earth on which he dwells.”ġ9. “The silence that is in the starry sky, the sleep that is among the lonely hills.”ġ8. “Why do not words and kiss, and solemn pledge, and nature that is kind in woman’s breast, and reason that in man is wise and good, and fear of him who is a righteous Judge – why do not these prevail for human life, to keep two hearts together, that be.” 17. “All things have second birth the earthquake is not satisfied at once.”ġ6.

“For oft, when on my couch I lie in vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.”ġ5. “Sweet is the lore which Nature brings Our meddling intellect misshapes the beauteous forms of things-We murder to dissect.”ġ4.

I listened, motionless and still And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.ġ3.
