William Wordsworth - The Reverie of Poor SusanWilliam Wordsworth - The Reverie of Poor Susan
Work rating: Medium


At the corner of Wood Street, when daylight appears, Hangs a Thrush that sings loud, it has sung for three years: Poor Susan has passed by the spot, and has heard In the silence of morning the song of the Bird. `Tis a note of enchantment; what ails her? She sees A mountain ascending, a vision of trees; Bright volumes of vapour through Lothbury glide, And a river flows on through the vale of Cheapside. Green pastures she views in the midst of the dale, Down which she so often has tripped with her pail; And a single small cottage, a nest like a dove`s, The one only dwelling on earth that she loves.   She looks, and her heart is in heaven: but they fade,   The mist and the river, the hill and the shade:   The stream will not flow, and the hill will not rise,   And the colours have all passed away from her eyes!
