Tintern Abbey - William Wordsworth's poem about how the beauty of nature inspires him.

           http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Poetry/WordsworthTinternAbbey.htm                                        

These beauteous forms,   
                                                                                                                                                     Through a long absence, have not been to me
As is a landscape to a blind man's eye:
But oft, in lonely rooms, and 'mid the din
Of towns and cities, I have owed to them
In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,
Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart;
And passing even into my purer mind,
With tranquil restoration: -- feelings too
Of unremembered pleasure: such, perhaps,
As have no slight or trivial influence
On that best portion of a good man's life,
His little, nameless, unremembered, acts
Of kindness and of love.
