Her divine skill taught me thisA
That from every thing I sawB
I could some instruction drawB
And raise pleasure to the heightC
Through the meanest objects sightC
By the murmur of a springD
Or the least bough's rustellingD
By a Daisy whose leaves spreadE
Shut when Titan goes to bedE
Or a shady bush or treeF
She could more infuse in meF
Than all Nature's beauties canG
In some other wiser man 'H
G Wither His museI
-
IN youth from rock to rock I wentJ
From hill to hill in discontentJ
Of pleasure high and turbulentK
Most pleased when most uneasyF
But now my own delights I makeD
My thirst at every rill can slakeD
And gladly Nature's love partakeD
Of Thee sweet DaisyF
-
Thee Winter in the garland wearsL
That thinly decks his few grey hairsL
Spring parts the clouds with softest airsL
That she may sun theeF
Whole Summer fields are thine by rightC
And Autumn melancholy WightC
Doth in thy crimson head delightC
When rains are on theeF
-
In shoals and bands a morrice trainM
Thou greet'st the traveller in the laneM
Pleased at his greeting thee againN
Yet nothing dauntedO
Nor grieved if thou be set at noughtO
And oft alone in nooks remoteO
We meet thee like a pleasant thoughtO
When such are wantedO
-
Be violets in their secret mewsL
The flowers the wanton Zephyrs chooseL
Proud be the rose with rains and dewsL
Her head impearlingD
Thou liv'st with less ambitious aimP
Yet hast not gone without thy fameP
Thou art indeed by many a claimP
The Poet's darlingD
-
If to a rock from rains he flyQ
Or some bright day of April skyQ
Imprisoned by hot sunshine lieQ
Near the green hollyF
And wearily at length should fareR
He needs but look about and thereR
Thou art a friend at hand to scareR
His melancholyF
-
A hundred times by rock or bowerS
Ere thus I have lain couched an hourS
Have I derived from thy sweet powerS
Some apprehensionT
Some steady love some brief delightO
Some memory that had taken flightO
Some chime of fancy wrong or rightO
Or stray inventionT
-
If stately passions in me burnU
And one chance look to Thee should turnU
I drink out of an humbler urnU
A lowlier pleasureS
The homely sympathy that heedsL
The common life our nature breedsL
A wisdom fitted to the needsL
Of hearts at leisureS
-
Fresh smitten by the morning rayV
When thou art up alert and gayV
Then cheerful Flower my spirits playV
With kindred gladnessL
And when at dusk by dews opprestO
Thou sink'st the image of thy restO
Hath often eased my pensive breastO
Of careful sadnessL
-
And all day long I number yetO
All seasons through another debtO
Which I wherever thou art metO
To thee am owingD
An instinct call it a blind senseL
A happy genial influenceL
Coming one knows not how nor whenceL
Nor whither goingD
-
Child of the Year that round dost runT
Thy pleasant course when day's begunT
As ready to salute the sunT
As lark or leveretO
Thy long lost praise thou shalt regainM
Nor be less dear to future menN
Than in old time thou not in vainM
Art Nature's favouriteO

William Wordsworth
