LOWTHER, by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Lowther! In thy majestic pile are seen
Last Line: Will say, ye disappeared with england's glory!
First Line: Lowther! In thy majestic pile are seen
Last Line: Will say, ye disappeared with england's glory!
LOWTHER! in thy majestic Pile are seen
Cathedral pomp and grace, in apt accord
With the baronial castle's sterner mien;
Union significant of God adored,
And charters won and guarded by the sword
Of ancient honour; whence that goodly state
Of polity which wise men venerate,
And will maintain, if God his help afford.
Hourly the democratic torrent swells;
For airy promises and hopes suborned
The strength of backward-looking thoughts is scorned.
Fall if ye must, ye Towers and Pinnacles,
With what ye symbolise; authentic Story
Will say, Ye disappeared with England's Glory!
