Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar.
— William Wordsworth
Wisdom
From the sweet thoughts of home Was best, could I but shun the spot where man might come.
And oft I thought (my fancy was-so strong) And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food.
— William Wordsworth
Society
I travelled among unknown men, What love I bore to thee.
Much converse do I find in thee, A solemn image to my heart.
— William Wordsworth
Friendship
Behold, within the leafy shade, Gleamed like a vision of delight.
— William Wordsworth
Nature
She gave me eyes, she gave me ears; And love, and thought, and joy.
Sweet childish days, that were as long As twenty days are now.
Like an army defeated The rain is over and gone.
— William Wordsworth
