Explore "Three Years she Grew in Sun and Shower" by William Wordsworth on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Three years she grew in sun and shower, / Then Nature said, "A lovelier flower / On earth was never sown; / This Child I to myself will take; / She shall be mine, and I will make / A Lady of my own.
"Myself will to my darling be / Both law and impulse; and with me / The Girl, in rock and plain, / In earth and heaven, in glade and bower, / Shall feel an overseeing power / To kindle or restrain.
