A rude and natural causeway, interposed
Between the water and a winding slope
Of copse and thicket, leaves the eastern shore

Wordsworth oft writes about Nature, here the poem reflects the period's emphasis on nature, as well as its concern for social issues and the need for empathy.
and even the sight of a countryman, the peasant of that towny view, Gorgeous poem!
Amazingly captured! Except a brilliant nature poet, a true member of the romantics, he is also an excellent keen observer of the life-path he was walking upon. The reader would inherit unconsciously his extra gift, he amused me so much, since he could notice every plant, trees, flower
Between the water and a winding slope a rude and natural causeway is interposed and a narrow girdle of rough stones and crags is amazingly and brilliantly observed and the theme is beautifully expressed in this interesting and well drafted poem. From first to last every line clearly gives nice information. This is excellent poem! ...10
LAST PART: all in detail, but every detail in nature he won´t forget as we can read those in this epic poem….W.W. was one of my fav.poets and till now he still is....Thank you for sharing his marvelous poem. My respect for W.W. is always greatest and his poetry I so admired all my life....
MIDDLE PART: Except a brilliant nature poet, a true member of the romantics, he is also an excellent keen observer of the life-path he was walking upon. The reader would inherit unconsciously his extra gift, he amused me so much, since he could notice every plant, trees, flower and even the sight of a countryman, the peasant of that towny view,
FIRST PART: Absolutely a poet of his surroundings, aware of every detail he is observing and has seen, Not only of nature as he is known to be BUT also of human things, he noticed the slightest changes.
There cannot be a better nature poet than William Wordsworth. His poems not only reflect the beauty of nature but introduces a deep philosophy, that is profound and elevating.
Such a profound write on nature truly amazing and wonderful observation made him a great nature-poet of all times and the retainers of the like as by a memorial name implored him not to be so rash as others so as not to make it disgracious.........a great poem by a great poet.........thanks for sharing
A captivating nature poem slowly unfolding many a details of the beautiful treasures hidden in the nature's manifestations.
Except Wordsworth none can find so much hidden in simple natural scenes we see ever! What a keen observation that inspired him so much to so much on that subject! Great world Nature Poet William Wordsworth ever is!
A very crispy description of the nature by the great nature poet along with a warning not to prematurely judge someone or something.
Stunning character sketch in the midst of a hard land and a rather tight wallet
What the place should have been called was A pound for charity. What a society that was when a man in such a state had no one to call on for help except the lake in which he, probably, fished in vain! And I have no doubt that he was immensely elevated by the sight of Wordsworth and Co staring at him as they rambled through the countryside whilst every one else was working their butts off! This thing the Romantics had for Nature was a towny's view, not a countryman's.
