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.
