Add a Cosmic Poem to Your Tea Time:

We have included several astronomy-themed poetry selections from our featured poet, William Wordsworth, as well as a biography on his life and works! Beyond that, we have included copywork sheets of his poetry for ages ranging from primary through high school for deeper study! Here is a sample of one of our favorite pieces:

Who But Is Pleased To Watch The Moon On High
by William Wordsworth

Who but is pleased to watch the moon on high

Travelling where she from time to time enshrouds

Her head, and nothing loth her Majesty

Renounces, till among the scattered clouds

One with its kindling edge declares that soon

Will reappear before the uplifted eye

A Form as bright, as beautiful a moon,

To glide in open prospect through clear sky.

Pity that such a promise e’er should prove

False in the issue, that yon seeming space

Of sky should be in truth the stedfast face

Of a cloud flat and dense, through which must move

(By transit not unlike man’s frequent doom)

The Wanderer lost in more determined gloom.
