William wordsworth ode intimations of immortality

Some fragment from his dream of human life,

See, at his feet, some little plan or chart, With light upon him from his fatherвЂ™s eyes! See, where вЂmid work of his own hand he lies,ДЇretted by sallies of his motherвЂ™s kisses, VII Behold the Child among his new-born blisses, To make her Foster-child, her Inmate Man,ДЄnd that imperial palace whence he came. Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind,ДЄnd, even with something of a MotherвЂ™s mind, VI Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own The Youth, who daily farther from the eastДЄnd fade into the light of common day. Shades of the prison-house begin to closeД«ut He beholds the light, and whence it flows, The Soul that rises with us, our lifeвЂ™s Star, Where is it now, the glory and the dream? V Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: The fulness of your bliss, I feel- I feel it all.ДЇresh flowers while the sun shines warm,ДЄnd the Babe leaps up on his MotherвЂ™s arm:-Д«oth of them speak of something that is gone: The heavens laugh with you in your jubilee Shepherd-boy! IV Ye blessed Creatures, I have heard the call Shout round me, let me hear thy shouts, thou happy The Winds come to me from the fields of sleep,

I hear the Echoes through the mountains throng, No more shall grief of mine the season wrong The cataracts blow their trumpets from the steep To me alone there came a thought of grief:ДЄ timely utterance gave that thought relief, III Now, while the birds thus sing a joyous song, That there hath past away a glory from the earth. Look round her when the heavens are bare The things which I have seen I now can see no more.
