Dorothy Wordsworth

Tuesday.--
...
William
went
up
into
the
orchard,
...
and
wrote
a
part
of
The
Emigrant
Mother.
After
dinner
I
read
him
to
sleep.
I
read
Spenser....
We
walked
to
look
at
Rydale.
The
moon
was
a
good
height
above
the
mountains.
She
seemed
far
distant
in
the
sky.
There
were
two
stars
beside
her,
that
twinkled
in
and
out,
and
seemed
almost
like
butterflies
in
motion
and
lightness.
They
looked
to
be
far
nearer
to
us
than
the
moon.
Wednesday.--William
went
up
into
the
orchard
and
finished
the
poem.
I
went
and
sate
with
W.
and
walked
backwards
and
forwards
in
the
orchard
till
dinner
time.
He
read
me
his
poem.
I
read
to
him,
and
my
Beloved
slept.
A
sweet
evening
as
it
had
been
a
sweet
day,
and
I
walked
quietly
along
the
side
of
Rydale
lake
with
quiet
thoughts--the
hills
and
the
lake
were
still--the
owls
had
not
begun
to
hoot,
and
the
little
birds
had
given
over
singing.
I
looked
before
me
and
saw
a
red
light
upon
Silver
How
as
if
coming
out
of
the
vale
below,
There
was
a
light
of
most
strange
birth,
A
light
that
came
out
of
the
earth,
And
spread
along
the
dark
hill-side.
