"Earth Hasd Not Anything To Show Me More Fair"

From the London Underground’s “Poems on the Underground” program, which shares works of poetry in advertising spaces with the Tube’s millions of passengers each year:

Earth hasd not anything to show me more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This City now doth like a garment wear
The beauty of the morning: silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did a sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour valley, rock or hill;
Ne`er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!

–”Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802,” William Wordsworth
