<P> Behold, within the leavy shade, Those bright blue eggs together laid! On me the chance - discovered sight Gleamed like a vision of delight . I started--seeming to espy The home and sheltered bed, The Sparrow's dwelling, which, hard by My Father's house, in wet or dry My sister Emmeline and I Together visited . She looked at it and seemed to fear it; Dreading, tho' wishing, to be near it: Such heart was in her, being then A little Prattler among men . The Blessing of my later years Was with me when a boy: She gave me eyes, she gave me ears; And humble cares, and delicate fears; A heart, the fountain of sweet tears; And love, and thought, and joy . </P> <P> The Sparrows Nest is a lyric poem written by William Wordsworth at Town End, Grasmere, in 1801 . It was first published in the collection Poems in Two Volumes in 1807 . </P> <P> The poem is a moving tribute to Wordsworth's sister Dorothy, recalling their early childhood together in Cockermouth before they were separated following their mother's death in 1778 when he was barely eight years old . </P> <P> "At the end of the garden of my father's house at Cockermouth was a high terrace that commanded a fine view of the river Derwent and Cockermouth Castle . This was our favourite play - ground . The terrace - wall, a low one, was covered with closely - clipt privet and roses, which gave an almost impervious shelter to birds that built their nests there . The latter of these stanzas alludes to one of those nests ." </P>
