Additional quotes by William Wordsworth

My eyes are dim with childish tears, My heart is idly stirred, For the same sound is in my ears Which in those days I heard. Thus fares it still in our decay: And yet the wiser mind Mourns less for what age takes away Than what it leaves behind.

Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The cattle are grazing, Their heads never raising; There are forty feeding like one!

Give unto me, made lowly wise, The spirit of self-sacrifice; The confidence of reason give, And in the light of truth thy bondman let me live! - William Wordsworth
