Wordsworth, William

"Most of Wordsworth's best lyric and narrative poems and a number of his lesser known pieces celebrating nature and simple rural people are included. ... The editor's introduction incorporated Wordsworth's own statement of his poetic theories, and comments on individual poems, taken from his journal or that of his sister Dorothy, are interspersed throughout. ... Indexes by title and first line." Booklist.

This gentle lament for a young girl lost in the snow is captured by the beauty of the illustrator's brooding pastels.
