William Wordsworth: Zitate auf Englisch

“A simple child,
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?”

And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food.”

Kontext: And oft I thought (my fancy was-so strong)
That I, at last, a resting-place had found:
'Here: will I dwell,' said I,' my whole life long,
Roaming the illimitable waters round;
Here will I live, of all but heaven disowned.
And end my days upon the peaceful flood—
To break my dream the vessel reached its bound;
And homeless near a thousand homes I stood,
And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food.
