THE VOICE OF THE DERWENT by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

Poet Analysis

First Line: YET ONCE AGAIN DO I BEHOLD THE FORMS
Last Line: HALF-HEARD AND HALF-CREATED.

Yet once again do I behold the forms
Of these huge mountains, and yet once again,
Standing beneath these elms, I hear thy voice,
Beloved Derwent, that peculiar voice
Heard in the stillness of the evening air,
Half-heard and half-created.
