William Wordsworth,
Evening on Calais Beach |
| |
| It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, |
| The holy time is quiet as a Nun |
| Breathless with adoration; the broad sun |
| Is sinking down in its tranquillity; |
| |
| The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the sea: |
| Listen! the mighty Being is awake, |
| And doth with his eternal motion make |
| A sound like thunder—everlastingly. |
| |
| Dear Child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here, |
| If thou appear untouch'd by solemn thought, |
| Thy nature is not therefore less divine: |
| |
| Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year; |
| And worshipp'st at the Temple's inner shrine, |
| God being with thee when we know it not. |
| |
