  2. In this poem the poet wants us to turn away from the world that we have created around us. He exhorts us to enjoy the world that is God’s creation. He says that nature is the true teacher and human knowledge and wisdom acquired through intellectual or bookish sources is useless. Nature alone can help us see and understand the inherent beauty of things around us. Our intellect deprives us of the aesthetic enjoyment of nature takes us away from her.

  3. Up! Up! My Friend, and quit your books;Or surely you’ll grow double:Up! Up! My Friends and clear your looks;Why all this toil and trouble?

  4. The sun, above the mountain’s head,A freshening luster mellowThrough all the long green fields has spread,His first sweet evening yellow.

  5. Books! ‘ it is a dul! And endless strife;Come, hear the woodland linnet,How sweet his music! On my life,There’s more of wisdom in it.

  6. And hark ! How blithe the throttles sings!He, too, is no mean preacher:Come forth into the light of things,Let Nature be your teacher.

  7. She has a world of ready wealth,Our minds and hearts to blessSpontaneous wisdom breathed by health,Truth breathed by cheerfulness.

  8. One impulse from vernal woodMay teach you more of man,Of moral evil and of good,Than all the sages can.

  9. Sweet is the lore which Nature brings;Our madding intellectMis-shapes the beauteous forms of things;We murder to dissect.

  10. Enough of science and of art;Close up those barren leaves;Come forth, and bring with you a heartThat watches and receives.

  11. William Wordsworth was born on April 7, 1770, in Cocker mouth, Cambria, England, and educated at St. john’s College, Cambridge University. He developed a keen love for nature as a youth, and during school holidays he frequently visited places noted for their scenic beauty.
