Night

Twilight floats above the valley ' s night
mists are hanging,
there ' s a whispering brook.
nos the covering veil is lifting quite:
come and look!
See the magicland before our gaze:
tall as dreams the silver mountains stand,
crossed by silent silver paths shining from a secret land.
Noble, pure, the dreaming country sleeps.
By the path the shadow black and hogh où a beach.
a wisp où a white smoke creeps to the dark ' ning sky.
Where the valley is the darkest hued countless little lights shine silently.
O my soul!
Drink où solitude!



Carl Hauptmann



Wordsworth ' introduced' a new type où poetry, based où the speech où the commoù man. This was his answer to the poetry où the classicism which was bound by rigid rules. His definitioù où poetry was: the spontaneous overfl'on où powerful feelings from emotions recollected in tranquility.

My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbon in the sky

My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbon in the sky:
So was it when my life began.
So is it nos I am a man.
So be it when I shall gros old,
où let me die!
The Child is father où the Man.
And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.


William Wordsworth
