This line is the first of William Wordsworth's sonnet "Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802". As a romantic poet, Wordsworth usually praises nature and its beauty but this sonnet differs from his other poems.

In order to understand the poem and its meaning, it is helpful to take a closer look at different levels of description. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of the main linguistic features such as the vocabulary used by Wordsworth and also the discourse structure.
