Write your comment about So Fair, So Sweet, Withal So Sensitive poem by William Wordsworth
Michael M DeBonis : One of Wordsworth's finest lyrics, this poem ranks as a one of the best in the English language. That Wordsworth wrote it at the end of his career is astonishing. The poem 's intricate triple rhyme scheme, along with his elegant and soulful diction make this poem rival anything Lord Alfred Tennyson and Edgar Allen Poe were writing at the time. William Wordsworth is a titan of English poetry and literature, and he will remain so always.
