The Thursday Poem

Young Woman Reading by a Window by Delphin Enjolras

My Heart Leaps Up

My heart leaps up when I behold

A rainbow in the sky:

So was it when my life began;

So is it now I am a man;

So be it when I shall gor old,

Or let me die!

The Child is father of the Man;

And I wish my days to be

Bound each to each by natural piety

William Wordsworth

(7th April 1770 - 23rd April 1850)
