MEMORIALS OF A TOUR: IN LOMBARDY, by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: See, where his difficult way that old man wins Last Line: To bliss unbounded, glory without end. Subject(s): Lombardy, Italy | ||||||||
SEE, where his difficult way that Old Man wins Bent by a load of Mulberry leaves! -- most hard Appears 'his' lot, to the small Worm's compared, For whom his toil with early day begins. Acknowledging no task-master, at will (As if her labour and her ease were twins) 'She' seems to work, at pleasure to lie still; -- And softly sleeps within the thread she spins. So fare they -- the Man serving as her Slave. Ere long their fates do each to each conform: Both pass into new being, -- but the Worm, Transfigured, sinks into a hopeless grave; 'His' volant Spirit will, he trusts, ascend To bliss unbounded, glory without end. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BELLS OF LOMBARDY, SELS. by LUCIEN STRYK A JEWISH FAMILY; IN A SMALL VALLEY OPPOSITE ST.
