A Vision

.        TWO crownèd Kings, and One that stood alone

           With no green weight of laurels round his head,

           But with sad eyes as one uncomforted,

         And wearied with man's never-ceasing moan

         For sins no bleating victim can atone,

           And sweet long lips with tears and kisses fed.

           Girt was he in a garment black and red,

         And at his feet I marked a broken stone

           Which sent up lilies, dove-like, to his knees.

           Now at their sight, my heart being lit with flame        

         I cried to Beatricé, "Who are these?"

         And she made answer, knowing well each name,

           "Æschylos first, the second Sophokles,

           And last (wide stream of tears!) Euripides."

Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802 

BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

Earth has not any thing to show more fair:

Dull would he be of soul who could pass by

A sight so touching in its majesty:

This City now doth, like a garment, wear

The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,

Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie

Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.

Never did sun more beautifully steep

In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;

Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!

The river glideth at his own sweet will:

Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;

And all that mighty heart is lying still!
