The poem :
by William Wordsworth
What though the radiance
Which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass,
Of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mi

Interesting comment on the Worsworth poem :
Musician/Retired Teacher (1985–present)
[ "This is one of Wordsworth’s “Spots of Time” moments where he bemoans the fact that, as he leaves childhood, he no longer has the same grand, automatic responses to Nature that he once had as a child. For Wordsworth, childhood is a time where Man, Nature, and God are all the same entity. As we get older, we get busy: school, religion, marriages, jobs, etc. as that happens we put God, Man, and Nature in separate categories which in turn causes these childlike responses to Nature to diminish.

This scene always makes me cry like a baby 😠it’s so realistic to real life, about how the smallest things make a huge impact in your life plans and how life goes on with or without you. It’s truly devastating, but a masterpiece. Beautifully written
