William Wordsworth was an influential English Romantic poet born in 1770 in Cumbria, England. He was inspired by nature from a young age while living in the Lake District. Wordsworth co-authored Lyrical Ballads with Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1798, an important work in the English Romantic movement. He wrote many famous poems about nature and its relationship with humanity, such as "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" and "Tintern Abbey." Wordsworth spent most of his life in the Lake District, where he died in 1850 and is buried in Grasmere.

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!

I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

Knowing my heart's best treasure was no

That neither present time, nor years unborn
Could to my sight that heavenly face
restore.”
