About this listen

This poem was written by Wordsworth after a walking tour through the Welsh Borders. As usual with many of Wordsworth's poems, it opens with a description of the countryside which is then developed into a philosophical reflection about beauty and the suggestive power of recollection.

The poem was first published in 1798 in Lyrical Ballads, an anthology in which Wordsworth collaborated with Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
