The realm of nature

And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts, a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused, 
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean, and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man –
… Therefore am I still 
A lover if the meadows and the woods
And mountains, and of all that we behold
From this green earth.

(William Wordsworth, 1798)
