That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?

SO far from our time when no such sentiment can be heard. I do not know which I hold closest in my heart, this or 'Michael'. I cannot choose. I love them both.

Without doubt, this a genius poem. Language simple, message complex. For me, it provoked reflection on my relationship with my lost family members. This poem offers hope and solace to those who have experienced dark days. Simple, excellent, inspiring, touching, emotional and insightful, this poem has it all.

I beleave this poem is about holding on to the one you love even after they stop breathing. THe little girl is still close to her brother and sister.

This is my favourite wordsworth poem, it's so powerful and moving. I showed it to one of my friends who'd lost a loved one and he thought the same as well.

I got a book of Wordsworth when I was 13. This was the first poem in the book. I cried. It has remained my absolute favorate ever since. Almost 30 years later it can still make me cry. The innocense, the since of never losing a loved one because they are still there, in heart, soul and mind. This poem never diminishes its power.

what can I say but what a wonderful poet. I cry when I read this. I can imagine this child telling somebody about her brothers and sister.
