Ah, a fellow appreciator of Wordsworth. My favourite is "The world is too much with us". The fact that it's such an established part of the canon doesn't make it any less powerful.

I remember my mom reading me "Tyger! Tyger!" when i was like 12 and just about creaming my pants. Its like actually not fair that someone who is not me had such an inspiring grasp on imagery.

"And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; "
That one is my favorite, but I also really like:
"but hearing oftentimes
The still, sad music of humanity,
Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power
To chasten and subdue."

This poem as a whole is neat, though this is the part that means the most to me (and in general is profound). Wordsworth=the sheezy. He has a lot of passion in his words, they're always so grand.
