Intimations Of Immortality Poem by C. P. Sharma

Intimations Of Immortality

Rating: 5.0


An humble tribute to William Wordsworth: (1770 – 1850)

When I was young Wordsworth hood-wink(ed) ,
At his deep delved ideas I couldn’t drink.
When of this Priest of Nature now I think,
His dazzling depth just makes me blink.

The Truth in all its nakedness he saw!
Lesson’s from Nature he could draw!
Guide to child and youth, to age a straw,
Narrated awesome beauty without a flaw.

Now I can proclaim aloud,
I am out of the sordid crowd.
I wander lonely as his cloud,
The meanest flower now makes me proud.

Now I love the Sun and Shower,
Now I am in the Nature’s bower,
Now I know who is a lover,
Now I know life is for ever.

that's the difference between learning confined to four walls and learning with an open mind, prof!

Immortal is he and his spontaneous song The cuckoo, reaper, all around throng “Find tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones and good in everything…” Genuine tribute to the pioneer of Romantic Era.
