About William Wordsworth
William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850) was encouraged to read and memorize classic poetry from a young age and began to write his own poems when he was still a child. His poems were popular in his lifetime and he was the Poet Laureate for the last 7 years of his life. Many of his poems are about experiencing the beauty of the natural world.
The sun has long been set,
The stars are out by twos and threes,
The little birds are piping yet
Among the bushes and trees:
There's a cuckoo, and one or two thrushes,
And a far-off wind that rushes,
And a sound of water that gushes,
And the cuckoo's sovereign cry
Fills all the hollow of the sky.
