Yes! thou art fair, yet be not moved
To scorn the declaration,
That sometimes I in thee have loved
My fancy’s own creation.
…
Imagination needs must stir;
Dear Maid, this truth believe,
Minds that have nothing to confer
Find little to perceive.
…
Be pleased that nature made thee fit
To feed my heart’s devotion,
By laws to which all Forms submit
In sky, air, earth, and ocean.
– William Wordsworth
