reflections
1824–1897). The Golden Treasury. 1875.
W. Wordsworth
CCLXXXVI. "My heart leaps up when I behold"
MY heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began,
So is it now I am a man,
So be it when I shall grow old
5
Or let me die!
The child is father of the man:
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

Your knowledge of poets and their works is astounding. You, my educated friend, are deep. Just when I feel that I know you well, your inner self reveals itself. Your thoughts and insight are priceless. A gift not afforded to most.
