Surprised by Joy
BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
Surprised by joyโimpatient as the Wind
I turned to share the transportโOh! with whom
But Thee, long buried in the silent Tomb,
That spot which no vicissitude can find?
Love, faithful love, recalled thee to my mindโ
But how could I forget thee?โThrough what power,
Even for the least division of an hour,
Have I been so beguiled as to be blind
To my most grievous loss!โThat thought's return
Was the worst pang that sorrow ever bore,
Save one, one only, when I stood forlorn,
Knowing my heart's best treasure was no more;
That neither present time, nor years unborn
Could to my sight that heavenly face restore.
