Nighttime Readings

My Heart Leaps Up, By William Wordsworth

"MY heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began,
So is it 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."

I was just reading this before bed and thought it lovely and also quite appropriate for the season at hand in the way he refers to the Child. Just a little something to brighten someone's day who may stumble upon here. Peace and good cheer to all!
