Where is it now , the Glory and the Dream ?


THERE was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,

    The earth, and every common sight,

            To me did seem

    Apparell'd in celestial light,

The glory and the freshness of a dream.
         
It is not now as it hath been of yore;—

        Turn wheresoe'er I may,

            By night or day,

The things which I have seen I now can see no more






       —But there's a tree, of many, one,

A single field which I have look'd upon,

Both of them speak of something that is gone:

          The pansy at my feet
  
          Doth the same tale repeat:

Whither is fled the visionary gleam?

Where is it now, the glory and the dream?


- William Wordsworth
