A Lover of the Meadows

    A motion and a spirit, that impels

    All thinking things, all objects of all thought,

    And rolls through all things. Therefore am I still

    A lover of the meadows and the woods

    And mountains; and of all that we behold

    From this green earth; of all the mighty world

    Of eye, and ear,—both what they half create,

    And what perceive; well pleased to recognise

    In nature and the language of the sense

    The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse,

    The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul

    Of all my moral being.

    William Wordsworth Taken from: Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey
