William Wordsworth - MutabilityWilliam Wordsworth - Mutability
Work rating: Low


.    From low to high doth dissolution climb,    And sink from high to low, along a scale    Of awful notes, whose concord shall not fail;    A musical but melancholy chime,    Which they can hear who meddle not with crime,    Nor avarice, nor over-anxious care.    Truth fails not; but her outward forms that bear    The longest date do melt like frosty rime,    That in the morning whitened hill and plain   And is no more; drop like the tower sublime   Of yesterday, which royally did wear   His crown of weeds, but could not even sustain   Some casual shout that broke the silent air,   Or the unimaginable touch of Time.
