I Take From Wordsworth The Love Of Calm Beauty Poem by Shalom Freedman

I TAKE FROM WORDSWORTH THE LOVE OF CALM BEAUTY

I take from Wordsworth the Love of Calm Beauty-
From Coleridge distracted searching for an Idea of it all-
From Borges the Pleasure in stories of Mind-
From Hopkins Alliteration’s passion in Poetry's Despair-
From Dickinson enigmatic perceiving of Infinity not found-
From Shakespeare more than I can name or hear-
From Psalms the God I Need and I Fear.
