INSCRIPTION SUPPOSED FOUND ... HERMIT'S CELL: 4. NEAR SPRING, by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Troubled long with warring notions Last Line: Of divine tranquillity! | |||
TROUBLED long with warring notions Long impatient of thy rod, I resign my soul's emotions Unto Thee, mysterious God! What avails the kindly shelter Yielded by this craggy rent, If my spirit toss and welter On the waves of discontent? Parching Summer hath no warrant To consume this crystal Well; Rains, that make each rill a torrent, Neither sully it nor swell. Thus, dishonouring not her station, Would my Life present to Thee, Gracious God, the pure oblation Of divine tranquillity! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A JEWISH FAMILY; IN A SMALL VALLEY OPPOSITE ST.
