Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEF GGBBHHII JJBBKKIIAA| What 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
