“ALONG THE MAZES OF THIS SONG I GO”
This, and the next two fragments, by Wordsworth, are extracted from his sister’s Grasmere Journal.—Ed.
Along the mazes of this song I go
As inward motions of the wandering thought
Lead me, or outward circumstance impels.
Thus do I urge a never-ending way
Year after year, with many a sleep between,
Through joy and sorrow; if my lot be joy
