William Wordsworth - Who Fancied What A Pretty SightWilliam Wordsworth - Who Fancied What A Pretty Sight
Work rating: Low


WHO fancied what a pretty sight This Rock would be if edged around With living snow-drops? circlet bright! How glorious to this orchard-ground! Who loved the little Rock, and set Upon its head this coronet? Was it the humour of a child? Or rather of some gentle maid, Whose brows, the day that she was styled The shepherd-queen, were thus arrayed?                      Of man mature, or matron sage? Or old man toying with his age! I asked--`twas whispered; The device To each and all might well belong: It is the Spirit of Paradise That prompts such work, a Spirit strong, That gives to all the self-same bent Where life is wise and innocent.
