" "
The sky is low, the clouds are mean,
A travelling flake of snow
Across a barn or through a rut
Debates if it will go.
A narrow wind complains all day
How some one treated him;
Nature, like us, is sometimes caught
Without her diadem.

Additional quotes by William Wordsworth

Sweet is the lore which nature brings;
Our meddling intellect
Misshapes the beauteous forms of things — We murder to dissect.

But trailing clouds of glory do we come from God, who is our home.

A power is passing from the earth.
