TRAVELLING, by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: This is the spot - how mildly does the sun Last Line: That my heart melts in me to think of it. Subject(s): Travel; Journeys; Trips | ||||||||
This is the spot: -- how mildy does the sun Shine in between the fading leaves! the air In the habitual silence of this wood Is more than silent; and this bed of heath -- Where shall we find so sweet a resting-place? Come, let me see thee sink into a dream Of quiet thoughts, protracted till thine eye Be calm as water when the winds are gone And no one can tell whither. My sweet Friend, We two have had such happy hours together That my heart melts in me to think of it. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RICHARD, WHAT'S THAT NOISE? by RICHARD HOWARD LOOKING FOR THE GULF MOTEL by RICHARD BLANCO RIVERS INTO SEAS by LYNDA HULL DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT by RANDALL JARRELL THE CONFESSION OF ST.
