"If this belief from heaven be sent,
If such be Nature's holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?"

May teach you more of man,
Of moral evil and of good,
Than all the sages can."

Close up those barren leaves,
Come forth, and bring with you a heart
That watches and receives."

"The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours,
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!"

Back 47

"The World Is Too Much with Us"

Front 48

"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."

Back 48

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

Front 49

"For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils."

Back 49

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

Front 50

"The rainbow comes and goes,
And lonely is the rose,
The moon doth with delight
Look round her when the heavens are bare;
Waters on a starry night
Are beautiful and fair;
But yet I know, where'er I go,
That there hath passed away a glory from the earth."

Back 50

"Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood"

Be now forever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, or glory in the flower;"

Out of human suffering;

In years that bring the philosophic mind."

Back 53

"Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood"

Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears."

Who this great fight did win.'

Quoth little Peterkin.

Back 59

"The Battle of Blenheim"

Front 60

"Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean—roll!
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;
Man marks the earth with ruin—his control
Stops with the shore; upon the watery plain
The wrecks are all thy deed, nor doth remain
A shadow of man's ravage, save his own,
When, for a moment, like a drop of rain,
He sinks into thy depths with bubbling groan,
Without a grave, unknell'd, uncoffin'd, and unknown."

Back 60

And pine for what is not;

Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought."

"Oh, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud!

A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed
One too like thee: tameless, and swift, and proud."
