Wordsworth, William

"A slumber did my spirit seal,

I had no human fears.

She seemed a thing that could not feel

the touch of earthly years.

No motion has she now, no force;

she neither hears nor sees.

Rolled 'round in earth's diurnal course,

with rocks, and stones, and trees."

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy
