My Heart Leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky; So was it when my life began; So is it now I am a man; So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety. by William Wordsworth(1770-1850) 1.
Wordsworth has often mentioned as the “Lake Poets” because he lived in the Lake District in the Northwestern part of England. Wordsworth lived a long life and wrote a lot of poets. He was at his best in description of mountains and rivers, flowers and birds, children and peasants, and reminiscences of his own childhood and youth. As a great poet of nature, he was the first to find words for the most elementary sensations of man face to face with natural phenomena. These sensations are universal and old but, once expressed in his poetry, become charming beautiful and new. His poems of nature were written according to his own arguing that “our continued influxes of feeling are directed and modified by our thoughts, which are indeed the representatives of all our past feelings.” He stored up natural impressions and “thought long and deeply” over them before reproducing them in poetry. 2.
In this very short poem consisting of only 9 lines, the entire poem is to praise the nature. "My heart leaps up when I behold / A Rainbow in the sky.": The poetry begins by announcing that he is moved by nature, and especially by nature's beauty. He keeps on saying that he has always felt the effect of nature, even when he was a child: "So was it when my life began; / so is it now I am a man." The writer is so certain of his relationship with nature that he says it will be constant until he becomes an old man, or else he would rather die: "So be it when I shall grow old, / Or let me die!" In the next
line he declares that children are superior to men because of they are closed to nature: "The Child is father of the Man." For this reason, he wishes to bind himself to his childhood self: "And I could wish my days to be / Bound each to each by natural piety."
The speaker explains his connection to nature, stating that it has been strong throughout his life. He even goes so far as to say that if he ever loses his connection he would prefer to die.
The key line is the seventh line of the poem is the: "The Child is father of the Man." This line is often quoted because of its ability to express a complicated idea in so few words. The speaker believes that children are closer to heaven and God, because they are pure, and through God, nature, because they have recently come from the arms of God. The writer understands the importance of staying connected to one's own childhood, stating: "I could wish my days to be / Bound each to each by natural piety."
From the poem we can draw a conclusion the poetry was advocated natural want to closer with the nature. Nature is a substitute, the scale and symbol. Nature to the poet can bring him comfort and joy. Poetry sings the beauty of nature. "Return to the nature" is the poet the unremitting pursuit of life. Innocence is important to people. Only the pure childhood can be in harmony with nature. Imagine of this poem is the rainbow. Through the whole poetry, every time, the boy saw the rainbow his emotion was passion.
The pure of children is natural. But it is easy to disappeared in the process of grow up. Through the difficulties, we get pure again, we are born again, and the pure of this time is more innocent. For children, Wordsworth has his unique views, he made children and nature in together successfully, he says. Nature is the link of god and human. People and nature from a source with god, from this, people have a soul before birth, and in the kingdom of heaven is received god's divine grace, to people. It is a most holy perfect "before existence", is the life of people speaking.
