Wise Wordsworth to avert your ken	A
From half of human fate	B
What is there in the ways of men	A
Their struggles or their state	B
To make the calm recluse forswear	C
The garden path the fire side chair	C
To journey with the Great	B
	-
The narrowest hamlet lends the heart	D
A realm as rich and wide	E
As kingdoms do to play its part	D
Who reaps not that hath tried	E
More rapture from the wayside flower	F
Than all the stairs and robes of power	F
And avenues of pride	E
	-
Whether we scan it from below	G
Or bask in it above	H
We weary of life's glittering show	G
We tire of all save Love	H
As when fatigued with wood notes shrill	I
We listen with contentment still	I
To cooings of the dove	H
	-
In this low cottage nested near	J
Mountain and lake you dwelt	K
'Twas here you tilled the ground 'twas here	L
You loved and wrote and knelt	K
Hence wheresoe'er your kindred dwell	M
Your songs sincere our hearts compel	M
To feel the thing you felt	K
	-
Glory there is that lives entombed	N
In spacious soaring shrine	O
A tenement more narrow roomed	N
Sufficient is for thine	O
A homely temple haply found	N
Where peasants toil and streamlets sound	N
Adorned not but divine	O
	-
Your sacred music still is heard	N
When notes profane have died	N
Like some familiar home bred word	N
You in our lives abide	N
And when with trackless feet we rove	P
By meadow mountain mere or grove	P
We feel you at our side	N
	-
Thrice happy bard who found at home	Q
All joys that needful be	R
Whose longings were not forced to roam	Q
Beyond your household Three	R
Your own proud genius steadfast calm	S
A wife whose faith was household balm	S
And heavenly Dorothy	R
	-
What is it sweetens tasteless Fame	T
Makes shadowy Glory bliss	U
What is the guerdon poets claim	T
What should it be but this	U
A heart attuned to understand	N
A listening ear a loving hand	N
A smile a tear a kiss	U
	-
Leave them but these and let who will	I
Crave plaudits from the crowd	N
Its vapid incense aves shrill	I
And favour of the proud	N
The sweetest minister of Fame	T
Is she who broods upon one's name	T
But calls it not aloud	N
	-
And this at least in full you had	N
From sister and from wife	V
They made your gravest moments glad	N
They havened you from strife	V
Hallowed your verse revered your tread	N
Maintained a nimbus round your head	N
And deified your life	V
	-
Hence long as gentle brows shall bend	N
Over your rustic page	W
Their pious love shall still befriend	N
The poet and the sage	W
For when we cross your cottage sill	I
Virtue no less than Genius will	I
Invite the Pilgrimage	X
	-
The tallest tower that ever rose	Y
Hath but a span to soar	Z
Palace and fane are passing shows	Y
But Time will be no more	Z
When Wordsworth's home no longer leads	A2
Men's far off feet to Grasmere's meads	A2
And sanctifies its shore	Z
