Image
Now when the primrose makes a splendid show, And lilies face the March-winds in full blow, And humbler growths as moved with one desire Put on, to welcome spring, their best attire, Poor Robin is yet flowerless but how gay With his red stalks upon this sunny day!
William Wordsworth
Image
What is good for a bootless bene? With these dark words begins my tale And their meaning is, Whence can comfort spring When prayer is of no avail?
William Wordsworth
Image
Even thus last night, and two nights more I lay, And could not win thee, Sleep, by any stealth: So do not let me wear to-night away. Without thee what is all the morning's wealth? Come, blessed barrier between day and day, Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health!
William Wordsworth
Image
One impulse from a vernal wood May teach you more of man, Of moral evil and of good, Than all the sages can.
William Wordsworth
Image
in the mind of man, A motion and a spirit, that impels All thinking things, all objects of all thought, And rolls through all things.
William Wordsworth
Image
The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly.
William Wordsworth
Image
The best of what we do and are, Just God, forgive!
William Wordsworth
Image
The thought of death sits easy on the man Who has been born and dies among the mountains.
William Wordsworth
Image
Enough, if something from our hands have power To live, and act, and serve the future hour And if, as toward the silent tomb we go, Through love, through hope, and faith's transcendent dower, We feel that we are greater than we know.
William Wordsworth
Image
Blessings be with them, and eternal praise, Who gave us nobler loves, and nobler cares!- The Poets, who on earth have made us heirs Of truth and pure delight by heavenly lays.
William Wordsworth
Image
Tis said, fantastic ocean doth enfold The likeness of whate'er on land is seen.
William Wordsworth
Image
A Briton even in love should be A subject, not a slave!
William Wordsworth
Image
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away than what it leaves behind.
William Wordsworth
Image
Faith is, necessary to explain anything, and to reconcile the foreknowledge of God with human evil.
William Wordsworth
Image
Thought and theory must precede all action, that moves to salutary purposes. Yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
William Wordsworth
Image
Action is transitory, a step, a blow, The motion of a muscle, this way or that, 'Tis done--And in the after-vacancy, We wonder at ourselves, like men betrayed.
William Wordsworth
Image
I am already kindly disposed towards you. My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.
William Wordsworth
Image
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar.
William Wordsworth
Image
Milton! thou should'st be living at this hour: England hath need of thee! . . . . . . Thy soul was like a star, and dwelt apart: So didst thou travel on life's common way In cheerful godliness.
William Wordsworth

Delivered from the galling yoke of time.
