‘A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal’

By William Wordsworth (1770–1850)


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;	5
She neither hears nor sees,
Rolled round in earth’s diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.
