Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth

Made for our searching; yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
From our dark spirits.

Stanza III
Such the sun, the moon,
Trees old, and young, sprouting a shady boon
For simple sheep; and such are daffodils
With the green world they live in; and clear rills
That for themselves a cooling covert make
‘Giant the hot season; the mid forest brake,
Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms;
And such too is the grandeur of the dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead;
All lovely tales that we have heard or read;
An endless fountain of immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heaven’s brink.

Explanation: कुछ ऐसे ही सुंदरता के प्रतिक है सूर्य और चाँद। छोटे-बड़े पेड़-पौधे जो विकसित होते है और साधारण भेड़ों तथा अन्य जानवरों के लिए छांया के रूप में वरदान बनते है। डेफोडिल्स फूल जंगलों में खिलते है और उनका सोभा बढ़ाते है, छोटी नदियाँ और बहने वाली पानी के स्रोत ग्रीष्म ऋतु में खुद के लिए एक ठंडी आवरण बना लेते है, जंगलों के बिच झाड़ी-झंखाड़ जो जंगली गुलाब से भरे होते हे, साथ ही उन महान योद्धाओं के अंत भी एक सौंदर्यता का प्रतिक है जिनकी कहानियाँ या तो हम पढ़ते या सुनते है।ये सभी कभी न ख़त्म होने वाले एक अमृत के फ़व्वारे के समान है जो स्वर्ग से हम सभी पर निछावर की जा रही है।
