William Wordsworth: No Motion Has She Now, No Force

Wordsworth? Words words. Too many words, at too great a length.

Sometimes, though, he could hit the target with one shot.

A SLUMBER DID MY SPIRIT SEAL,
by William Wordsworth.

A slumber did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears:
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.

No motion has she now, no force;
She neither hears nor sees;
Rolled round in earth's diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.
