Life gifts

"Little, nameless, unremembered, acts of kindness and of love." Can you think of a time, person, or place that brings William Wordsworth's words to life for you? In poetry or prose, capture the sentiment.

Read the complete poem by William Wordsworth:

"Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, On Revisiting the Banks of the Wye during a Tour. July 13, 1798"

The poem, its title often shortened to "Tintern Abbey," was first published in 1798 in "Lyrical Ballads," a collection of poems by Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge that is considered the beginning of English Romanticism.
