Ode: Intimations of Immortality


Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:



The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:


Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,


But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:


Heaven lies about us in our infancy!

~William Wordsworth
