William Wordsworth’s highly evocative poem “Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey” is as much a chronological description of events that have shaped the traveler’s life in the five years that had elapsed between his two visits to Tintern Abbey, as it a soul-searching reflection on the latter’s emotions. ...
In second stanza, the traveler confesses:
“But oft, in lonely rooms, and ‘mid the din
Of towns and cities, I have owed to them (the “beauteous forms” of Tintern Abbey)”
peace and tranquility. ... The traveler establishes a link between his past and present by exclaiming that perhaps the memories of his previous visit to the abbey mean that
“To them I may have owed another gift,
Of aspect more sublime, that blessed mood”
that can metamorphose a person into a better human being.
