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.
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.
