THE leaves were fading when to Esthwaite's banks	A
And the simplicities of cottage life	B
I bade farewell and one among the youth	C
Who summoned by that season reunite	D
As scattered birds troop to the fowler's lure	E
Went back to Granta's cloisters not so prompt	F
Or eager though as gay and undepressed	F
In mind as when I thence had taken flight	F
A few short months before I turned my face	G
Without repining from the coves and heights	H
Clothed in the sunshine of the withering fern	I
Quitted not loth the mild magnificence	H
Of calmer lakes and louder streams and you	J
Frank hearted maids of rocky Cumberland	F
You and your not unwelcome days of mirth	K
Relinquished and your nights of revelry	L
And in my own unlovely cell sate down	M
In lightsome mood such privilege has youth	C
That cannot take long leave of pleasant thoughts	H
	-
The bonds of indolent society	L
Relaxing in their hold henceforth I lived	F
More to myself Two winters may be passed	F
Without a separate notice many books	H
Were skimmed devoured or studiously perused	F
But with no settled plan I was detached	F
Internally from academic cares	H
Yet independent study seemed a course	H
Of hardy disobedience toward friends	H
And kindred proud rebellion and unkind	F
This spurious virtue rather let it bear	N
A name it now deserves this cowardice	H
Gave treacherous sanction to that over love	O
Of freedom which encouraged me to turn	I
From regulations even of my own	P
As from restraints and bonds Yet who can tell	Q
Who knows what thus may have been gained both then	R
And at a later season or preserved	F
What love of nature what original strength	S
Of contemplation what intuitive truths	H
The deepest and the best what keen research	T
Unbiassed unbewildered and unawed	F
	-
The Poet's soul was with me at that time	U
Sweet meditations the still overflow	V
Of present happiness while future years	H
Lacked not anticipations tender dreams	H
No few of which have since been realised	F
And some remain hopes for my future life	B
Four years and thirty told this very week	W
Have I been now a sojourner on earth	K
By sorrow not unsmitten yet for me	L
Life's morning radiance hath not left the hills	H
Her dew is on the flowers Those were the days	H
Which also first emboldened me to trust	F
With firmness hitherto but slightly touched	F
By such a daring thought that I might leave	X
Some monument behind me which pure hearts	H
Should reverence The instinctive humbleness	H
Maintained even by the very name and thought	F
Of printed books and authorship began	Y
To melt away and further the dread awe	Z
Of mighty names was softened down and seemed	F
Approachable admitting fellowship	A2
Of modest sympathy Such aspect now	B2
Though not familiarly my mind put on	C2
Content to observe to achieve and to enjoy	D2
	-
All winter long whenever free to choose	H
Did I by night frequent the College grove	E2
And tributary walks the last and oft	F
The only one who had been lingering there	N
Through hours of silence till the porter's bell	Q
A punctual follower on the stroke of nine	F2
Rang with its blunt unceremonious voice	H
Inexorable summons Lofty elms	H
Inviting shades of opportune recess	H
Bestowed composure on a neighbourhood	F
Unpeaceful in itself A single tree	L
With sinuous trunk boughs exquisitely wreathed	F
Grew there an ash which Winter for himself	G2
Decked out with pride and with outlandish grace	H
Up from the ground and almost to the top	H2
The trunk and every master branch were green	I2
With clustering ivy and the lightsome twigs	H
And outer spray profusely tipped with seeds	H
That hung in yellow tassels while the air	N
Stirred them not voiceless Often have I stood	F
Foot bound uplooking at this lovely tree	L
Beneath a frosty moon The hemisphere	J2
Of magic fiction verse of mine perchance	H
May never tread but scarcely Spenser's self	G2
Could have more tranquil visions in his youth	C
Or could more bright appearances create	F
Of human forms with superhuman powers	H
Than I beheld loitering on calm clear nights	H
Alone beneath this fairy work of earth	K
	-
On the vague reading of a truant youth	C
'Twere idle to descant My inner judgment	F
Not seldom differed from my taste in books	H
As if it appertained to another mind	F
And yet the books which then I valued most	F
Are dearest to me 'now' for having scanned	F
Not heedlessly the laws and watched the forms	H
Of Nature in that knowledge I possessed	F
A standard often usefully applied	F
Even when unconsciously to things removed	F
From a familiar sympathy In fine	F2
I was a better judge of thoughts than words	H
Misled in estimating words not only	L
By common inexperience of youth	C
But by the trade in classic niceties	H
The dangerous craft of culling term and phrase	H
From languages that want the living voice	H
To carry meaning to the natural heart	F
To tell us what is passion what is truth	C
What reason what simplicity and sense	H
	-
Yet may we not entirely overlook	K2
The pleasure gathered from the rudiments	H
Of geometric science Though advanced	F
In these enquiries with regret I speak	W
No farther than the threshold there I found	F
Both elevation and composed delight	F
With Indian awe and wonder ignorance pleased	F
With its own struggles did I meditate	F
On the relation those abstractions bear	N
To Nature's laws and by what process led	F
Those immaterial agents bowed their heads	H
Duly to serve the mind of earth born man	Y
From star to star from kindred sphere to sphere	J2
From system on to system without end	F
	-
More frequently from the same source I drew	J
A pleasure quiet and profound a sense	H
Of permanent and universal sway	L2
And paramount belief there recognised	F
A type for finite natures of the one	M2
Supreme Existence the surpassing life	B
Which to the boundaries of space and time	U
Of melancholy space and doleful time	U
Superior and incapable of change	N2
Nor touched by welterings of passion is	H
And hath the name of God Transcendent peace	H
And silence did await upon these thoughts	H
That were a frequent comfort to my youth	C
	-
'Tis told by one whom stormy waters threw	J
With fellow sufferers by the shipwreck spared	F
Upon a desert coast that having brought	F
To land a single volume saved by chance	H
A treatise of Geometry he wont	F
Although of food and clothing destitute	F
And beyond common wretchedness depressed	F
To part from company and take this book	K2
Then first a self taught pupil in its truths	H
To spots remote and draw his diagrams	H
With a long staff upon the sand and thus	H
Did oft beguile his sorrow and almost	F
Forget his feeling so if like effect	F
From the same cause produced 'mid outward things	H
So different may rightly be compared	F
So was it then with me and so will be	L
With Poets ever Mighty is the charm	O2
Of those abstractions to a mind beset	F
With images and haunted by herself	G2
And specially delightful unto me	L
Was that clear synthesis built up aloft	F
So gracefully even then when it appeared	F
Not more than a mere plaything or a toy	F
To sense embodied not the thing it is	H
In verity an independent world	F
Created out of pure intelligence	H
	-
Such dispositions then were mine unearned	F
By aught I fear of genuine desert	F
Mine through heaven's grace and inborn aptitudes	H
And not to leave the story of that time	U
Imperfect with these habits must be joined	F
Moods melancholy fits of spleen that loved	F
A pensive sky sad days and piping winds	H
The twilight more than dawn autumn than spring	P2
A treasured and luxurious gloom of choice	H
And inclination mainly and the mere	J2
Redundancy of youth's contentedness	H
To time thus spent add multitudes of hours	H
Pilfered away by what the Bard who sang	Q2
Of the Enchanter Indolence hath called	F
'Good natured lounging ' and behold a map	R2
Of my collegiate life far less intense	H
Than duty called for or without regard	F
To duty 'might' have sprung up of itself	G2
By change of accidents or even to speak	W
Without unkindness in another place	H
Yet why take refuge in that plea the fault	F
This I repeat was mine mine be the blame	S2
	-
In summer making quest for works of art	F
Or scenes renowned for beauty I explored	F
That streamlet whose blue current works its way	L2
