Lines written a few miles above Tintern Abbey,
on revisiting the banks of the Wye during a Tour
July 13, 1798

By William Wordsworth

Narrated by Denis Daly

This poem was written by Wordsworth after a walking tour through the Welsh Borders. As usual with many of Wordsworth's poem, it opens with a description of the countryside which is then developed into a philosophical reflection about beauty and the suggestive power of recollection.

The poem was first published in 1798 in Lyrical Ballads, an anthology in which Wordsworth collaborated with Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
