Lucy poems pt 5 (A Slumber did my Spirit Seal)

William Wordsworth

 Next Poem          

A slumber did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears:
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.
No motion has she now, no force;
She neither hears nor sees;
Rolled round in earth's diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.

        "A Slumber did my Spirit Seal" by William Wordsworth truly evokes emotion. The line "She seemed a thing that could not feel" absolutely resonates with me. Hauntingly beautiful.
