What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.

Dear Klaarzin
Hi! Thank you for your kind explanations. BR. Kinsley
This is a short fragment from Wordsworth's long poem (1804)
Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood
Splendor in the grass has been used as the title for this fragment and also for a 1961 American film and for various other cultural items.
