“My heart leaps up when I behold”

My heart leaps up when I behold 
   [The sea upon the rocks:] 
So was it when my life began;
So it is now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
   Or let me die! 
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
- Wordsworth [Ellie's Version]
