PoemA Slumber did my Spirit Seal
Author / PoetWilliam Wordsworth
TagsLoss, Mortality, Nature, Stillness

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.
