Upon Westminster Bridge – William Wordsworth: The Poet declares that he has found the most beautiful scene on earth. You did have to be someone with no taste for beauty, no spiritual sense, to pass over the Westminster Bridge that morning without stopping to marvel at the sights.

Upon Westminster Bridge: Year Published in – 1802

Earth has not anything to show more fair:

Dull would he be of soul who could pass by

A sight so touching in its majesty:

This City now doth, like a garment, wear

The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,

Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie

Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.

Never did sun more beautifully steep

In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;

Ne’er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!

The river glideth at his own sweet will:

Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;

And all that mighty heart is lying still!
