The Lucy Poems: 5 "A slumber did my spirit seal" by William Wordsworth
🙌 Patreon: www.patreon.com/ArthurLWood
📚 My Books: ko-fi.com/arthurlwood/shop
A slumber did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears:
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.
No motion has she now, no force;
She neither hears nor sees;
Rolled round in earth's diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.

A poem written a moment ago. 🙌 Patreon: www.patreon.com/ArthurLWood 📚 My Books: ko-fi.com/arthurlwood/shop I was searching for love, In the place a wiseman said was the land of death; Then I felt myself evolve In the exhalation of my purest breath; Now I’m moving on, For the world could do with a touch of my mother’s son.

I have a competition about this.I am 8 years old and I have Part II; On either side of the river lie Long fields barley and of rye That clothe the wold and meet the sky And thor' the field the road runs by To the many-towered Camelot And up and down the people go. Gazing down the lilies blow Round an island there's below The Lady of Shalott Your welcome 🤗 ❤❤ By Maryam❤🧕🏻
That’s amazing, Maryam! Wishing you the best of luck in the competition. 😊 Arthur

Love your style ❤

Found this for my lovely Mom, she remembered it from her youth . Beautifully read ❤
Who came here after reading lotm
Going on Substack Mr. Wood!
Eros, Dust, and a Voice. Yeah, that's enough. Time to go to work Americans!
Thanks
So good a poem!
6 k subs: congratulations, dear Arthur!
Wonderful reading!
Our ruling class has not changed a jot since the Peterloo Masacre. Their henchmen will unleash violence without hestation while crowing about English freedom and English liberty.
I feel there needs to be more light and dark in the recitation of this poem, especially int he beginning. The heaviness of the horses and the lightness of the sailing boats should be expressed more deliberately.
❤nice
Around 1:50-1:52 you say "And by the morning the reaper weary". This should be "And by the moon the reaper weary." Maybe there are different versions of this poem?

The current manifestation of Blackbeard the pirate is Trudeau and the cat, otherwise famously known as Macavity is Freeland, the devil incarnate dictatorship duo in the style of reincarnated Hitler and Ewa Braun, running the greatest sh!tsh@w called Canada.
Thank you Arthur, your voice is perfect for poetry.
The background is fabulous!
😊
Wow, amazing reading
Its a deep meaningful poem
❤
A remarkable book: “Lysander”!
Every bit as good as Byron or Kieths
well done
This reminds me of Ronald Colman. Thank you! 😭
Absolutely Profound, how well I remember this time, It marked a turning point for you . . . Nothing is more valuable, than having Peace in this body and in this live, along with Love.
Beautiful reading in a comfy spot...love seeing you so relaxed with a book in hand.
A most Excellent Recital, you were born for this Sweet Arthur!
This was really epic, and quite held my interest Dear Arthur
Just too beautifully read. I have loved this poem since I was 11 years old! My older sister to read poetry to us before bed-time which lit the fire of my love affair with brilliant poets.❤
Beautifully recited! Well done!
Beautiful
So well and elegantly executed...Thank you Arthur.
I’m so immature..I’m sorry. I was laughing the whole time. But this is amazing. When I’m serious, this is so amazing man
Very Beautiful Arthur!
Wonderful Performance Arthur! Bravo!
What a poor reading of a great poem.. Reading it front a lofty sneering point of view robs it of the humanity that makes it so powerful.
Wow, terrifically done!
