William Wordsworth Poems
- El Chico Normando
Alto en un amplio tracto no fértil de bosque-bordeó Abajo,
Ni guardado por la naturaleza para sí misma, ni hecho por el hombre suyo,
Desde el hogar y la compañía remota y cada alegría lúdica,
Sirvió, cuidando algunas ovejas y cabras, un Norman Boy desigual. ... - Sonnets Upon The Punishment Of Death - In Series, 1839 - Xiv - Apology
The formal World relaxes her cold chain
For One who speaks in numbers; ampler scope
His utterance finds; and, conscious of the gain,
Imagination works with bolder hope ... - The Cuckoo-clock

By a sure voice that can most sweetly tell,
How far off yet a glimpse of morning light,
And if to lure the truant back be well, ... - On The Banks Of A Rocky Stream
Behold an emblem of our human mind
Crowded with thoughts that need a settled home,
Yet, like to eddying balls of foam
Within this whirlpool, they each other chase ... - The Norman Boy
High on a broad unfertile tract of forest-skirted Down,
Nor kept by Nature for herself, nor made by man his own,
From home and company remote and every playful joy,
Served, tending a few sheep and goats, a ragged Norman Boy. ...

- Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live better in the future.
- What though the radiance which was once so bright Be not forever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower Strength in what remains behind, In the primal sympathy Which having been must ever be, In the soothing thoughts that spring Out of Human suffering, In the faith that looks through death In years that bring philophic mind.
- How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold Because the lovely little flower is free Down to its root, and in that freedom bold.
- Nature never did betray, The heart that loved her.
- A mind forever voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone.
