Once Again We See There Is Nothing You Can Possess Which I Cannot Take Away

William Wordsworth'due south poem has qualities of both a dramatic monologue and a lyrical ballad. The speaker is non alone as he describes the world around him, but he is the only voice that the reader will hear.

'Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey' is not written with a clear rhyme scheme, but rather, the poet has focused on the meter. Throughout the poem can be establish the pattern of iambic pentameter. This type of poetry is made up of v sets of beats per line. The beginning beat is unstressed, followed past one stressed.

          Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey                    William Wordsworth                    Five years have past; 5 summers, with the length Of v long winters! and once again I hear These waters, rolling from their mount-springs With a soft inland murmur.—Once once again Do I behold these steep and lofty cliffs, That on a wild secluded scene print Thoughts of more than deep seclusion; and connect The mural with the tranquillity of the heaven. The day is come when I once more repose Here, under this night sycamore, and view These plots of cottage-ground, these orchard-tufts, Which at this flavor, with their unripe fruits, Are clad in one greenish hue, and lose themselves 'Mid groves and copses. One time again I see These hedge-rows, hardly hedge-rows, little lines Of sportive forest run wild: these pastoral farms, Green to the very door; and wreaths of fume Sent up, in silence, from amongst the trees! With some uncertain find, as might seem Of vagrant dwellers in the houseless woods, Or of some Hermit'due south cave, where by his fire The Hermit sits alone.                                                These beauteous forms, Through a long absence, take not been to me As is a landscape to a bullheaded man's eye: But oft, in solitary rooms, and 'mid the din Of towns and cities, I take owed to them, In hours of weariness, sensations sweet, Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart; And passing fifty-fifty into my purer mind With tranquil restoration:—feelings too Of unremembered pleasance: such, perhaps, As have no slight or trivial influence On that best portion of a skilful man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered, acts Of kindness and of dearest. Nor less, I trust, To them I may have owed another souvenir, Of aspect more sublime; that blessed mood, In which the burthen of the mystery, In which the heavy and the weary weight Of all this unintelligible globe, Is lightened:—that serene and blest mood, In which the affections gently pb united states of america on,— Until, the breath of this corporeal frame And even the motion of our man blood Almost suspended, we are laid asleep In body, and become a living soul: While with an eye made quiet by the power Of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.                                                          If this Be but a vain belief, nevertheless, oh! how frequently— In darkness and amid the many shapes Of joyless daylight; when the fretful stir Unprofitable, and the fever of the globe, Accept hung upon the beatings of my heart— How oft, in spirit, accept I turned to thee, O sylvan Wye! thou wanderer thro' the woods,          How frequently has my spirit turned to thee!     And now, with gleams of half-extinguished idea, With many recognitions dim and faint, And somewhat of a pitiful perplexity, The picture of the heed revives over again: While here I stand, not only with the sense Of nowadays pleasure, merely with pleasing thoughts That in this moment there is life and food For hereafter years. And so I cartel to hope, Though inverse, no dubiousness, from what I was when offset I came amongst these hills; when like a roe I bounded o'er the mountains, past the sides Of the deep rivers, and the lone streams, Wherever nature led: more similar a human Flying from something that he dreads, than one Who sought the thing he loved. For nature then (The coarser pleasures of my adolescent days And their glad fauna movements all gone by) To me was all in all.—I cannot paint What and so I was. The sounding cataract Haunted me similar a passion: the tall rock, The mountain, and the deep and gloomy forest, Their colours and their forms, were and so to me An appetite; a feeling and a love, That had no need of a remoter charm, By thought supplied, nor whatever interest Unborrowed from the eye.—That time is past, And all its agonized joys are now no more, And all its dizzy raptures. Not for this Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur; other gifts Have followed; for such loss, I would believe, Arable recompense. For I have learned To await on nature, not equally in the hour Of thoughtless youth; but hearing ofttimes The still distressing music of humanity, Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power To chasten and subdue.—And I have felt A presence that disturbs me with the joy Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime Of something far more than securely interfused, Whose domicile is the lite of setting suns, And the circular ocean and the living air, And the blue sky, and in the mind of human being: A motion and a spirit, that impels All thinking things, all objects of all idea, And rolls through all things. Therefore am I still A lover of the meadows and the wood And mountains; and of all that we behold From this green world; of all the mighty world Of eye, and ear,—both what they half create, And what perceive; well pleased to recognise In nature and the language of the sense The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse, The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul Of all my moral beingness.                                              Nor perhaps, If I were non thus taught, should I the more Endure my genial spirits to decay: For yard art with me here upon the banks Of this fair river; thou my dearest Friend, My beloved, dear Friend; and in thy vocalisation I take hold of The linguistic communication of my former heart, and read My quondam pleasures in the shooting lights Of thy wild eyes. Oh! notwithstanding a little while May I behold in thee what I was once, My dear, honey Sister! and this prayer I make, Knowing that Nature never did betray The heart that loved her; 'tis her privilege, Through all the years of this our life, to lead From joy to joy: for she tin can and then inform The listen that is inside united states, and then impress With quietness and beauty, and so feed With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues, Rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men, Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all The dreary intercourse of daily life, Shall always prevail against us, or disturb Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold Is full of blessings. Therefore allow the moon Smoothen on thee in thy solitary walk; And let the misty mount-winds be gratis To blow against thee: and, in later years, When these wild ecstasies shall be matured Into a sober pleasure; when thy mind Shall be a mansion for all lovely forms, Thy retentiveness be as a dwelling-place For all sweet sounds and harmonies; oh! then, If confinement, or fright, or hurting, or grief, Should be thy portion, with what healing thoughts Of tender joy wilt g call back me, And these my exhortations! Nor, perchance— If I should be where I no more can hear Thy voice, nor catch from thy wild eyes these gleams Of past existence—wilt thou then forget That on the banks of this delightful stream We stood together; and that I, so long A worshipper of Nature, hither came Unwearied in that service: rather say With warmer love—oh! with far deeper zeal Of holier honey. Nor wilt thou so forget, That later many wanderings, many years Of absence, these steep wood and lofty cliffs, And this light-green pastoral mural, were to me More dear, both for themselves and for thy sake!

Summary

"Lines Equanimous a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth is told from the perspective of the writer and tells of the power of Nature to guide one's life and morality.

The poem begins with the speaker, Wordsworth himself, having returned to a spot on the banks of the river Wye that he has not seen for v long years. This place is very love to him and is just equally beautiful and mystical equally it was when he left. The "admirable forms' of the landscape accept not been lost from his heed though. They have stayed with him through his absence and supported him. Whenever there was a moment he felt trapped in the modern world or dragged downwardly past "dreary" life he would cast his mind back to this specific spot. Information technology is here he finds solace.

In fact, this landscape has taken him farther than one might expect. Due to its beauty and the importance that information technology holds in the speaker's mind, it has allowed him to disregard his own body. He finds greater value in the soul and the "deep power of joy" that can be found in all things.

The speaker tells of how when he was hither five years ago he ran similar a child through the countryside. He was enthralled by everything he saw and desperate to take information technology all in. He was interim like a man escaping from something he dreaded, not relishing something he loves. Since this time he has matured at present understands that Nature is more than important than the base satisfaction it can provide. He feels inside it a "presence" that will now back up him for all time to come. This "presence" is the unity of all things.

In the final stanza of the poem, it becomes articulate that this entire time the poet was speaking to his sister, Dorothy. Dorothy is with him on the banks of the Wye and he has been attempting to explicate to her why he is the way he is. He hopes that she will share in his joy and give her center over to Nature as he has. The poet tells his sister that in that location is no take chances in this choice and that she should allow the beauty of the world to movement her. The verse form concludes with Wordsworth telling his sis that Nature, and this moment that they have shared together, will always be there for her. Even when he is gone.

The final lines reiterate to the reader and the poet's listener why this place is of import to the writer. He values it for what information technology is worth on information technology's own terms and what it has provided him, as well every bit what it might provide to his sister who is as of yet not as devoted every bit he is. He will remember this moment for its beauty besides as for whom he was with.

Lines one-8

5 years have by; v summers, with the length

Of five long winters! and once more I hear

These waters, rolling from their mountain-springs

With a soft inland murmur.—Once again

Do I behold these steep and lofty cliffs,

That on a wild secluded scene impress

Thoughts of more than deep seclusion; and connect

The landscape with the quiet of the sky.

This slice begins with an xx-two line stanza that introduces the setting, emotions, and main themes of the poem. In the first lines the speaker, Wordsworth himself, makes articulate that he has returned a place he has not been for "5 years," or "five summers," the bank of the River Wye in Monmouthshire, Wales. These years that he has been apart from the mural felt excruciating long. As if they were made up entirely of "five long winters!"

Wordsworth has finally come back to where he tin hear "again…These waters," and encounter them "rolling" downwards from the "mountain-springs." These sounds that the speaker is hearing again for the first time are romanticized and described as being a "soft inland murmur" as if whispering voices are coming from somewhere farther "inland" than the speaker tin see or detect.

He continues on to reiterate that he is "Once again…behold[ing]" this place. He is looking around him and seeing steep cliffs. These cliffs are not just landmarks to admire only they strength certain emotions to surface. They bring to his mind the "Thoughts of… deep seclusion." This thought of finding peaceful seclusion in nature is not one at all unfamiliar to Wordsworth's poesy. His status as one of the greatest poets of the Romantic menstruation is solidified by poems such as "Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey."

The whole environs around the speaker is unified in it'due south peace and confinement. From the country to the sky and everything in-betwixt; he is permanent desiring a identify within it.

Lines 9-18

The solar day is come when I again repose

Here, under this nighttime sycamore, and view

These plots of cottage-basis, these orchard-tufts,

Which at this flavor, with their unripe fruits,

Are clad in one green hue, and lose themselves

'Mid groves and copses. Once once again I meet

These hedge-rows, hardly hedge-rows, little lines

Of sportive woods run wild: these pastoral farms,

Dark-green to the very door; and wreaths of fume

Sent upwardly, in silence, from among the copse!

In the adjacent department of this first long stanza, Wordsworth continues on to say that "The day" has come where he tin can over again "repose," or relax, under a "night sycamore" tree that is growing nearby. In this role of the landscape he currently is in, and is hoping to remain, there is a "plot" that contains a "cottage" as well as "orchard-tufts."

He is looking around at the fruit orchards and seeing the they are filled with yet "unripe fruits" and all the leaves are equanimous of "one green hue." Instead of standing out in contrast against the other leafage, they are camouflaged and "lose themselves" amongst the "groves and copses," or pocket-sized collections of trees. These orchards are a hint of what is to come. Change is always present and even though the land appears the same equally it did to the speaker five years ago, nil e'er truly remains the same.

Wordsworth can see from his vantage point "hedge-rows," lines and lines of small bushes that run through the landscape. Additionally there are farms surrounding the property that run right up to the door of the cottage. There are others that live in the surrounding areas and "wreaths of smoke" are visible ascension from the forest floor.

Lines nineteen-22

With some uncertain notice, every bit might seem

Of vagrant dwellers in the houseless woods,

Or of some Hermit's cave, where by his fire

The Hermit sits solitary.

This stanza concludes with four additional lines that expand on who may live in the environs. It seems to Wordsworth that, although he is not certain, that "vagrant dwellers" or "hermits" alive out in the "houseless forest." These homeless men sit "alone" in the woods; a state that the speaker envies.

Second Stanza

Lines i-9

These admirable forms,

Through a long absence, have not been to me

As is a landscape to a blind man's centre:

But oft, in lonely rooms, and 'mid the din

Of towns and cities, I have owed to them,

In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,

Felt in the claret, and felt forth the heart;

And passing even into my purer mind

With tranquil restoration:—feelings too

In the 2nd stanza, consisting of twenty-8 lines, the speaker describes how the images he is now seeing anew have never truly left him.

Though the landscape has long been out of sight, he has non been split from information technology. He describes information technology as having not been to him "As is a landscape to a blind human'southward centre." The speaker has not completely forgotten it or been blinded to it.

Often times, when he has been in "lonely rooms" in the centre of the "din / Of towns and cities," the memories have come up to him. He is able to revisit the landscape inside his mind and find comfort in information technology. It has brought him pleasure in times of "weariness." Replacing frustration with "sensations sweet" that penetrate to his "blood…and …heart." These thoughts are fifty-fifty able to possess his "purer mind" and bring it to a land of "tranquil restoration."

Lines ten-19

Of unremembered pleasure: such, perhaps,

As have no slight or trivial influence

On that best portion of a good man'due south life,

His fiddling, nameless, unremembered, acts

Of kindness and of honey. Nor less, I trust,

To them I may take owed some other gift,

Of aspect more sublime; that blest mood,

In which the burthen of the mystery,

In which the heavy and the weary weight

Of all this unintelligible world,

The stanza continues with Wordsworth describing how the memories bring him other "unremembered pleasure[south]." Their presence helps other happy memories to surface that have no "slight" or small, "influence / On…a skillful man's life." He needs these thoughts to continue on his path of goodness and continue to assist others in anyway he tin can. They improve him as a human being.

The side by side lines tell the reader what these happy thoughts might be. They could contain the times in a "man's life" that he committed acts of "kindness and of dearest."

The speaker so turns to address nature itself. He says that he "may have owed" more to information technology than he has all the same returned. It gave him a spiritual gift that he is never going to exist able to return, his "blessed mood," or attribute in which he lives. It helped, and helps, to alleviate the weight of the world.

Lines xx-28

Is lightened:—that serene and blessed mood,

In which the angel gently lead united states on,—

Until, the jiff of this corporeal frame

And even the motion of our human blood

About suspended, we are laid asleep

In body, and become a living soul:

While with an heart made quiet by the power

Of harmony, and the deep ability of joy,

Nosotros see into the life of things.

Nature is going to affect the speaker for the rest of his life and even allow him to value the world, and the spiritual peace he has found over his "corporeal frame." When he is "laid asleep / In body" he is able, through his "living soul," to discover a "harmony" and experience a "deep power of joy." This joy has allowed him to see deeper into life than others do. Because he is so deeply a office of the natural globe he tin see "into the life of things."

Third Stanza

If this

Be but a vain belief, even so, oh! how ofttimes—

In darkness and amid the many shapes

Of joyless daylight; when the fretful stir

Unprofitable, and the fever of the world,

Have hung upon the beatings of my heart—

How ofttimes, in spirit, have I turned to thee,

O sylvan Wye! thou wanderer thro' the woods,

How often has my spirit turned to thee!

The third stanza of "Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey" is shorter, consisting of only nine lines. In this brusque stanza the speaker addresses the possibility that the interior globe in which he has been living could be "merely a vain belief." He could have been steadfast in his conventionalities simply, ignorant of the fact that he was wrong.

This thought is just fleeting and he immediately turns from it to say, "oh!" How can that mayhap be the instance when in "darkness" and surrounded past "joyless daylight," or days that bring the speaker no joy even though they should, he has "turned to thee / O sylvan Wye!" He has depended on the memories of this "sylvan" or wooded paradise on the river Wye when he has been disturbed by the "fever of the earth." He is worshipful of this nature and contributes his peace and happiness to how it has changed him.

4th Stanza

Lines 1-8

And now, with gleams of half-extinguished idea,

With many recognitions dim and faint,

And somewhat of a pitiful perplexity,

The picture of the listen revives again:

While here I stand, not only with the sense

Of present pleasure, but with pleasing thoughts

That in this moment in that location is life and food

For future years. And so I cartel to hope,

The 4th stanza of the verse form, which runs for 50-four lines, begins with Wordsworth professing to a hope he holds for his current visit to this landscape. He describes how his mind is now "gleam[ing]" with thoughts that are "dim" and "half-extinguished." He is recalling how he felt when he was here previously and that film of his own being is existence "revive[d]" once more. The speaker is reentering the headspace that he was once existing in.

Additionally, he states that he hopes that from this visit he is able to proceeds "life and food / For future years." This trip will, he thinks, provide him with memories that will sustain him in all the dull moments of life that are yet to come. He is re-nourishing his soul and inner paradise to which he will escape.

Lines ix-18

Though changed, no doubt, from what I was when first

I came among these hills; when like a roe

I divisional o'er the mountains, by the sides

Of the deep rivers, and the lonely streams,

Wherever nature led: more than like a man

Flying from something that he dreads, than one

Who sought the thing he loved. For nature then

(The coarser pleasures of my boyish days

And their glad animal movements all gone by)

To me was all in all.—I cannot paint

The speaker is "dar[ing] to hope" that even though he comes to this placed changed from when he was here last, that everything volition still be to him as it once was.

He remembers how when he commencement visited this landscape and "came among the hills" he was like a "roe" in how he "bounded" over the rises and falls. He crossed "deep rivers" and followed nature wherever it "led" him.

These actions he took were less similar those taken past someone enamored by a new dear, but more than similar the wild, desperate decisions of a man escaping from something "he dreads." When he was hither last he knew immediately how important this identify was going to be to him and fled into the hills in a futile endeavor to completely escape from his own life.

At this time in his life, nature was to him, "all in all." It was the stop-all and be all of his life. At that place was nothing of greater value or importance to the speaker. This is the state of listen he is one time more seeking out.

Lines 19-28

What then I was. The sounding cataract

Haunted me like a passion: the alpine rock,

The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood,

Their colours and their forms, were then to me

An ambition; a feeling and a love,

That had no demand of a remoter charm,

Past thought supplied, not any interest

Unborrowed from the eye.—That time is past,

And all its aching joys are at present no more,

And all its dizzy raptures. Not for this

He continues to endeavor a description of how he was dorsum them, but does not believe it will exist possible. Instead of giving the reader a straight frontwards description, he uses metaphors and romanticized language to a paint a picture show of the type of emotional and spiritual state he was in.

He was and then consumed by the nature around him that he took it in like food. The narrator thrived on "the alpine stone, / The mount" and the dark woods around him. The feelings they created within the speaker were exacting and precise. He knew where they came from and was content to see the world every bit information technology was. He did not need fantasies or additions to the real world to brand it more than meaningful to him. He did not need "a remoter charm" to entrance him.

The speaker is agonized for the time when nature was truly all that he needed. He remembers the joys, and how information technology created in him "dizzy rapture." That time is sadly, "past."

Lines 29-38

Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur; other gifts

Have followed; for such loss, I would believe,

Abundant recompense. For I have learned

To look on nature, non as in the hour

Of thoughtless youth; but hearing frequently

The still deplorable music of humanity,

Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample ability

To chasten and subdue.—And I take felt

A presence that disturbs me with the joy

Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime

Although the speaker is saddened by the change in his condition he is not depressed. He knows that other pleasures "Have followed" and that he should not actually "mourn" for the loss of the past.

He has been able to await through his base emotions and thoughts and come across Nature not every bit he did when he was a "thoughtless youth" merely as something far more than sustaining. He is older now, wiser, and understands how important moments of are peace are for a life lived amongst humanity.

This new wisdom was enshrined in him when he "felt / A presence that disturbs" him with joyful, "elevated thoughts." He has felt the power of God, or Nature as God, in the world that surrounds him. The narrator tin take the memory of this "presence" and behave information technology within him.

Lines 39-48

Of something far more deeply interfused,

Whose domicile is the low-cal of setting suns,

And the round ocean and the living air,

And the blue sky, and 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. Therefore am I even so

A lover of the meadows and the woods

And mountains; and of all that we behold

From this green earth; of all the mighty world

What the speaker feels of this new "presence" is much more powerful than what he held inside him in the by. Earlier, he merely took memory abroad with him when he left, now he has a belief that is stronger than anything else. The "presence" that he feels is like "the light of setting suns" and as powerful as "the round ocean," air, and heaven to the "heed of a human." It is across comprehension and therefore, unfading and undeterred by modernity.

The way in which he understands nature may accept changed, simply he is still a "lover" of it. He still worships the "meadows and the woods" and is thrilled in all "that we behold / From this dark-green world."

He describes how nature fuels everything in the world, the world is entirely made of, and created by nature. It "impels / All thinking things." The speaker'southward tone is reverential filled with deep emotion. This tone will continue through the remaining lines of the poem as the speaker delves deeper into why exactly the natural globe is and then meaningful to him.

Lines 49-54

Of eye, and ear,—both what they half create,

And what perceive; well pleased to recognise

In nature and the linguistic communication of the sense

The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse,

The guide, the guardian of my centre, and soul

Of all my moral beingness.

In the concluding lines of the fourth stanza the speaker describes how even though he, and others, are apt through their sense, to hear and run into things differently than how they truly are, he is still "well pleased." He thrills in the "linguistic communication" of his own senses and considers nature to be the "guardian" of his "heart," and the steadfast supporter of his "purest thoughts." It has been to him a "guide" as well as a "nurse." Finally, he states, it is the "soul" of his morality. Just as the Christian God helps determine what is right and wrong for many around the earth, Nature serves this purpose for the narrator.

Fifth Stanza

Lines one-10

Nor perchance,

If I were not thus taught, should I the more

Suffer my genial spirits to disuse:

For thou art with me here upon the banks

Of this fair river; thou my dearest Friend,

My honey, beloved Friend; and in thy voice I grab

The language of my sometime heart, and read

My former pleasures in the shooting lights

Of thy wild eyes. Oh! notwithstanding a little while

May I behold in thee what I was once,

The emotion that the reader glimpsed at the cease of the last stanza is sustained through the remainder of the poem.

The speaker begins this section by stating that he will never "Endure [his] genial spirits to decay" due to the fact that he at present understands Nature. The behavior he harbors within him are permanent. They are there with him at this present moment as he stands "upon the banks" of a river looking out on this place he loves.

At this point in the poem the narration takes a plough as information technology becomes clear that there is someone else with the speaker. He has not been thinking immune only explaining himself to someone virtually. He calls her, "k my beloved Friend." She is to him as shut as another person can be and he felt the need to explain to her how he has come to exist the way that he is.

He listens to her as she speaks and feels the catch of his "center." He sees how he used to exist and remembers his "quondam pleasures" as he looks into her "wild eyes." Wordsworth is able, through only a short glance, is able to see in her the person he once was.

Information technology besides becomes completely clear at this fourth dimension, if the reader was not yet convinced, that the speaker is Wordsworth himself.

Lines 11-24

My love, dear Sister! and this prayer I make,

Knowing that Nature never did betray

The eye that loved her; 'tis her privilege,

Through all the years of this our life, to lead

From joy to joy: for she tin can so inform

The heed that is within us, and then impress

With quietness and beauty, and then feed

With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues,

Rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men,

Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all

The dreary intercourse of daily life,

Shall east'er prevail against united states, or disturb

Our cheerful organized religion, that all which we behold

Is total of blessings. Therefore let the moon

He is, in this tender moment, directing his monologue to his sister, Dorothy. They are extraordinarily close and he wishes to share with her his admiration for Nature.

The next line of the poem is i of information technology'due south most of import and oft quoted.

Knowing that Nature never did betray

The middle that loved her;

He is searching for a fashion to brand his sister understand that placing your heart inside the hands of Nature is without risk. Information technology cannot break your heart or shatter your faith. Nature will, through the years of ones life, atomic number 82 a devotee from "joy to joy" and "impress" upon one "quietness and beauty." Her life, he states, will be total of "lofty thoughts" that carry one to a higher place the "sneers" of the modern world. One volition no longer be bothered past the "dreary intercourse of daily life." There will truly exist zero with the ability to disturb one'southward peace. "We" volition forever know that "our" life is "full of blessings."

Lines 25-36

Shine on thee in thy solitary walk;

And let the misty mountain-winds be free

To blow confronting thee: and, in after years,

When these wild ecstasies shall exist matured

Into a sober pleasance; when thy mind

Shall be a mansion for all lovely forms,

Thy retentivity be as a dwelling-identify

For all sugariness sounds and harmonies; oh! so,

If solitude, or fear, or pain, or grief,

Should be thy portion, with what healing thoughts

Of tender joy wilt k recall me,

And these my exhortations! Nor, possibly—

At this point, the poem is starting to conclude. Wordsworth wants to make sure that his sister knows that if this is the life that she desires, she should "allow the moon" smoothen on her during her walks. She should feel the "mountain-winds" on her skin and not resist them.

When, Wordsworth says, one has lived this way for a long time, the natural world volition become a role of one's life, guiding all decisions and choices of morality. He states that she will never forget this place and it will become a paradise for "all sweet sounds and harmonies." When all of this happens, and if she was to fall into "confinement, or fright, or pain, or grief," hopefully, he implores, "thou [volition] recollect me" and everything that has been said.

Lines 37-44

If I should be where I no more tin can hear

Thy voice, nor catch from thy wild eyes these gleams

Of past beingness—wilt k and then forget

That on the banks of this delightful stream

Nosotros stood together; and that I, and then long

A worshipper of Nature, hither came

Unwearied in that service: rather say

With warmer love—oh! with far deeper zeal

If, Wordsworth says, "I" have died and moved somewhere where "I no more tin hear / Thy vocalisation" hopefully she will not forget that "Nosotros stood together" on the banks of the Wye. This place is important equally it is where Nature came to both the speaker and his listener. This place, Wordsworth says, should make full the hereafter with even "holier love." The speaker says that nature will "create" in the listener a "far deeper zeal" for the goodness of life. His sis volition not be run down my "dreary" normalcy.

Lines 45-49

Of holier love. Nor wilt thou then forget,

That after many wanderings, many years

Of absence, these steep woods and lofty cliffs,

And this green pastoral landscape, were to me

More dear, both for themselves and for thy sake!
