1. Paraphrase Of William Wordsworth’s Poem

2. It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, The holy time is quiet as a Nun Breathless with adoration; the broad sun Is sinking down in its tranquillity; The gentleness of heaven broods o’er the Sea; Listen! the mighty Being is awake, And doth with his eternal motion make A sound like thunder—everlastingly. Dear Child1! dear Girl! that walkest with me here, If thou appear untouched by solemn thought, Thy nature is not therefore less divine; Thou liest in Abraham’s bosom2 all the year: And worshipp’st at the Temple’s inner shrine3, God being with thee when we know it not.

3. There are many Romantic glimpses in the poem. First, there are a vast sense of nature, for example, “the board sun/ Is sinking down its tranquility” (3-4). Second, there is a deep emphasis on imagination, for example, “the mighty Being is awake, / And doth with his eternal motion make” (6-7). Third, there is symbolism, for example, “God being with thee when we know it not” (15). Fourth, there is a deep reverence for the child, for example, “Dear Child, dear Girl!” (9).
