WILLIAM WORDSWORTH QUOTES

|
- Stern daughter of the voice of God!
- O Duty! if that name thou love
- Who art a light to guide, a rod
- To check the erring and reprove.
WILLIAM WORDSWORTH, Ode to Duty
- I look for ghosts; but none will force
- Their way to me. 'Tis falsely said
- That there was ever intercourse
- Between the living and the dead.
WILLIAM WORDSWORTH, Affliction of Margaret
- Never did sun more beautifully steep
- In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
- Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
- The river glideth at his own sweet will:
- Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
- And all that. mighty heart is lying still!
WILLIAM WORDSWORTH, Composed Upon Westminster Bridge, Sept. 3, 1802
