William Wordsworth - Who Fancied What A Pretty Sight

William Wordsworth - Who Fancied What A Pretty Sight

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