We Have Lingered In The Chambers Of The Sea

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

Splendour In The Grass

What though the radiance
Which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass,
Of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.

~ William Wordsworth

A Secret Correspondece With Our Heart

Hence in solitude, or in that deserted state when we are surrounded by human beings, and yet they sympathize not with us, we love the flowers, the grass, and the waters, and the sky. In the motion of the very leaves of spring, in the blue air, there is then found a secret correspondence with our heart.

~ Percy Bysshe Shelley

There Was A Time

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
It is not now as it hath been of yore;—
Turn wheresoe'er I may,
By night or day,
The things which I have seen I now can see no more.

~ William Wordsworth

Through the placid misty lake
With elegance glides.

Like A Roe

And so I dare to hope,
Though changed, no doubt, from what I was when first

I bounded o'er the mountains, by the sides
Of the deep rivers, and the lonely streams,
Wherever nature led.

A Rainbow in the sky:

Or let me die!

And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
