SUGGESTED AT TYNDRUM IN A STORM, by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Enough of garlands, of the arcadian crook
Last Line: On earth, who works in the heaven of heavens, alone.
First Line: Enough of garlands, of the arcadian crook
Last Line: On earth, who works in the heaven of heavens, alone.
ENOUGH of garlands, of the Arcadian crook,
And all that Greece and Italy have sung
Of Swains reposing myrtle groves among!
'Ours' couch on naked rocks, -- will cross a brook
Swoln with chill rains, nor ever cast a look
This way or that, or give it even a thought
More than by smoothest pathway may be brought
Into a vacant mind. Can written book
Teach what 'they' learn? Up, hardy Mountaineer!
And guide the Bard, ambitious to be One
Of Nature's privy council, as thou art,
On cloud-sequestered heights, that see and hear
To what dread Powers He delegates his part
On earth, who works in the heaven of heavens, alone.
