  1. William Wordsworth By: Brittany Johnson, Destinee Easton, Madison Smith, Shellbi Ryder, and Erin Woods

  2. “The World is Too Much With Us” The speaker of this poem would rather be poor and experience all nature has to offer than be consumed with material things. We are so focused on material things. We miss out on seeing the beauty of nature.

  3. “It is a Beauteous Evening, Calm and Free” The speaker talks about the gentleness of the seas. The speaker relates how we can’t see the quiet and peace of the evening, and yet we know it is there, to not seeing God and knowing he is there. The speaker talks about the sun shrinking into the horizon.

  4. “My Heart Leaps Up” The rainbow in this poem is used to represent how beautiful nature truly is. The speaker says that the child is closest to nature itself and he wishes he was bound to his childhood so he never loses touch with nature. Even as a man, the speaker is completely connected with nature and continues to be.

  5. “Tintern Abbey” The speaker says his memories of nature affected him even when he didn’t know it. He says they influenced his deeds of kindness and love. The speaker says that memories of Tintern Abbey kept him in a peaceful state even when he was around loud noises and crowded cities. The speaker is remembering the beauty of Tintern Abbey and how it made him feel.
