Poet Analysis

First Line: HE LIVED AMIDST THE UNTRODDEN WAYS
Last Line: THE DIFFERENCE TO HIM!
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS; WORDSWORTH, WILLIAM (1770-1850);

He lived amidst the untrodden ways
To Rydal Lake that lead;
A bard whom there were none to praise,
And very few to read.
Behind a cloud his mystic sense,
Deep hidden, who can spy?
Bright as the night when not a star
Is shining in the sky.
Unread his works --his "Milk White Doe'
With dust is dark and dim;
It's still in Longman's shop, and oh!
The difference to him!
