By William Wordsworth (17701850)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. | |
