THE STARS ARE MANSIONS BUILT BY NATURE'S HAND, by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
Last Line: Abodes where self-disturbance hath no part
Subject(s): Calm; Nature; Stars
Last Line: Abodes where self-disturbance hath no part
Subject(s): Calm; Nature; Stars
The stars are mansions built by Nature's hand,
And, haply, there the spirits of the blest
Dwell, clothed in radiance, their immortal vest;
Huge Ocean shows, within his yellow strand,
A habitation marvellously planned,
For life to occupy in love and rest;
All that we see''"is dome, or vault, or nest,
Or fortress, reared at Nature's sage command.
Glad thought for every season! but the Spring
Gave it while cares were weighing on my heart,
'Mid song of birds, and insects murmuring;
And while the youthful year's prolific art''"
Of bud, leaf, blade, and flower''"was fashioning
Abodes where self-disturbance hath no part.
