Poem by William Wordsworth

* * *

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, 
   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.

1. At Bala-sala, Isle of Man
2. Suggested at Tyndrum in a Storm
3. Remembrance of Collins
4. Glen Almain; Or, the Narrow Glen
5. Inside of King’s College Chapel, Cambridge: The Same
