Nature

In These Fair Vales Hath Many a Tree

by William Wordsworth 1770–1850

From Poetical Works, ed. Knight (1896), vol. VII

Nature

In these fair vales hath many a Tree
At Wordsworth's suit been spared;
And from the builder's hand this Stone,
For some rude beauty of its own,
Was rescued by the Bard:
So let it rest; and time will come
When here the tender-hearted
May heave a gentle sigh for him,
As one of the departed.
