But thou art with us, with us in the past, The present, wit… - William Wordsworth

" "
But thou art with us, with us in the past,
The present, with us in the times to come.
There is no grief, no sorrow, no despair,
No languor, no dejection, no dismay,
No absence scarcely can there be, for those
Who love as we do. Speed thee well!

William Wordsworth

Additional quotes by William Wordsworth

Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know,
Are a substantial world, both pure and good.

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!

Hence, in a season of calm weather
Though inland far we be,
Our souls have sight of that immortal sea

But thou art with us, with us in the past, The present, with us in the times to come. There is no grief, no sorrow, no despair, No languor, no deject… - William Wordsworth
