I Wandered Lonely As a Child
'I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud'
by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a child
That missed the gold and rolling hills,
When suddenly a crystal sea
A host of silver stars to fill
Behind the moon, below God's knees
Sparkled like glitter above the breeze
Continuous as God's love sublime
Smiling down upon our way,
Those twinkling eyes, watchers of time
Majestic rays of other's day
Awed, I knew there was no chance
That this was merely happenstance.
The moon within the sky was grey
But glowed a smile down on me
A poetess, though child may
Feel not nearly so lonely
A gift was given; to be taught
What glorious wonders had I seen not
Though I grow old, I will not lie
When in a dark depressive mood,
Within my heart appears the sky
Forget not what was understood
Again, my soul and heart stand still
An upwards gaze to heaven's will
