Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEF GGBBHHII JJBBKKIIAAWhat you are stepping westward Yea | A |
'Twould be a 'wildish' destiny | B |
If we who thus together roam | C |
In a strange Land and far from home | C |
Were in this place the guests of Chance | D |
Yet who would stop or fear to advance | D |
Though home or shelter he had none | E |
With such a sky to lead him on | F |
- | |
The dewy ground was dark and cold | G |
Behind all gloomy to behold | G |
And stepping westward seemed to be | B |
A kind of 'heavenly' destiny | B |
I liked the greeting 'twas a sound | H |
Of something without place or bound | H |
And seemed to give me spiritual right | I |
To travel through that region bright | I |
- | |
The voice was soft and she who spake | J |
Was walking by her native lake | J |
The salutation had to me | B |
The very sound of courtesy | B |
Its power was felt and while my eye | K |
Was fixed upon the glowing Sky | K |
The echo of the voice enwrought | I |
A human sweetness with the thought | I |
Of travelling through the world that lay | A |
Before me in my endless way | A |
William Wordsworth
