My Heart leaps up when I behold
• • • • • • • • • My Heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began; So is it now I am a man; So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die! The child is father of the Man; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.
Points of View
1. Poetry Is Spontaneous “all good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” 2. A whisper of nature: “the nurse,/the guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul/ of all my moral being” Nature to him is a source of mental cleanliness and spiritual understanding; a healing power; a teacher; the stepping stone between Man and God; 3. “emotion recollected in tranquility” A poet’s emotion extends from human affairs to nature, but emotion immediately expressed is as raw as wine newly bottled.
