(An analysis of William Wordsworth poem Tintern Abbey.)
Have you ever wanted to go back to a place that brought you peace?

Nature is shown everywhere throughout this poem, “For I have learned/ To look on nature, not as in the hour/ Of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes/ The still, sad music of humanity.” This is only one example of many.
