Book Description

Excerpt from The Complete Poetical Works of William Wordsworth, Vol. 5: 1806-1815 Who is the happy Warrior? Who is be That every man in arms should wish to be? It is the generous Spirit, who, when brought Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought Whose high endeavours are an inward light That makes the path before him always bright Who, with a natural instinct to discern What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn Abides by this resolve, and stops not there, But makes his moral being his prime care; Who, doomed to go in company with Pain, And Fear, and Bloodshed, miserable train! Turns his necessity to glorious gain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
