By William Wordsworth [lx] O joy! that in our embers                       Is something that doth live,                       That Nature yet remembers What was so fugitive! The thought of our past years in me doth breed Perpetual benediction: not indeed For that which is most worthy to be blest; Delight and liberty, the simple creed Of Childhood, whether busy or at rest, With new-fledged hope still fluttering in his breast:—                       Not for these I raise                       The song of thanks and praise                 But for those obstinate questionings                 Of sense and outward things,                 Fallings from us, vanishings;                 Blank misgivings of a Creature Moving about in worlds not realised, Translation in bangla : O joy! that in our embers = আহা আনন্দ! যে আমাদের নিভে যাওয়া অঙ্গারের মধ্যেও; Is something that doth live = কিছু একটি এখনো বেঁচে আছে; That Nature yet remembers = যা প্রকৃতি এখনও মনে রাখে; What was so fugitive = যা এত ক্ষণস্থায়ী ছিল; The thought of our past years in me doth breed = আমাদের অতীত বছরের চিন্তা আমার মধ্যে জন্ম দেয়; Perpetual benediction = চিরন্তন আশীর্বাদ; Not indeed = তবে অবশ্যই নয়; For that which is most worthy to be blest = সবচেয়ে আশীর্বাদযোগ্য বিষয়ের জন্য; Delight and liberty = আনন্দ ও স্বাধীনতা; The simple creed of Childhood = শৈশবের সরল বিশ্বাস; Whether busy or at rest = ব্যস্ত বা বিশ্রামে যাই থাকুক; With new-fledged hope still fluttering in his breast = নতুন পালক গজানো আশায় তার বুকে এখনও কাঁপছে; Not for these I raise the song of thanks and praise = এদের জন্য আমি কৃতজ্ঞতা ও প্রশংসার গান গাই না; But for those obstinate questionings = বরং সেই জেদি প্রশ্নগুলোর জন্য; Of sense and outward things = ইন্দ্রিয় ও বাহ্যিক জগত সম্পর্কে; Fallings from us, vanishings = আমাদের থেকে হারিয়ে যাওয়া ও মিলিয়ে যাওয়া অনুভূতিগুলোর; Blank misgivings of a Creature = এক সত্তার শূন্য সন্দেহ; Moving about in worlds not realised = যা বাস্তবায়িত নয় এমন জগতের মধ্যে ঘুরে বেড়ায়। Explanation: In this stanza, Wordsworth says that even in adulthood, a small part of the divine spirit of childhood still remains within us. Although the heavenly vision has faded, nature helps us remember those early experiences. Thinking about his childhood fills the poet with deep gratitude.He is especially thankful for the mysterious feelings and questions that arise in childhood about life and the world around us. These moments make us feel that there is a deeper reality beyond what we see with our senses. According to Wordsworth, such experiences remind us of our spiritual origin and keep alive the connection between the human soul and eternity. High instincts before which our mortal Nature Did tremble like a guilty thing surprised:                       But for those first affections,                       Those shadowy recollections,                 Which, be they what they may Are yet the fountain-light of all our day, Are yet a master-light of all our seeing;                 Uphold us, cherish, and have power to make Our noisy years seem moments in the being Of the eternal Silence: truths that wake,                 To perish never; Which neither listlessness, nor mad endeavour,                       Nor Man nor Boy, Nor all that is at enmity with joy, Can utterly abolish or destroy!                 Hence in a season of calm weather                       Though inland far we be, Our Souls have sight of that immortal sea                       Which brought us hither,                 Can in a moment travel thither, And see the Children sport upon the shore, And hear the mighty waters rolling evermore. Translation in bangla : High instincts before which our mortal Nature = উচ্চতর প্রবৃত্তিগুলোর সামনে আমাদের নশ্বর প্রকৃতি; Did tremble like a guilty thing surprised = যেন অপরাধী কিছু ধরা পড়ার মতো কেঁপে উঠত; But for those first affections = কিন্তু সেই প্রথম ভালোবাসাগুলোর জন্য; Those shadowy recollections = সেই অস্পষ্ট স্মৃতিগুলোর জন্য; Which, be they what they may = যা-ই হোক না কেন; Are yet the fountain-light of all our day = তবুও সেগুলো আমাদের জীবনের সকল আলোর উৎস; Are yet a master-light of all our seeing = এবং আমাদের সব দেখার মূল আলো; Uphold us, cherish, and have power to make = আমাদের ধরে রাখে, লালন করে এবং সক্ষম করে তোলে; Our noisy years seem moments in the being = আমাদের কোলাহলপূর্ণ জীবনকালকে অস্তিত্বের মাঝে মুহূর্ত মনে হয়; Of the eternal Silence = চিরন্তন নীরবতার মধ্যে; Truths that wake = এমন সত্য যা জেগে ওঠে; To perish never = যা কখনো ধ্বংস হয় না; Which neither listlessness, nor mad endeavour = যা না অলসতা, না উন্মত্ত প্রচেষ্টা; Nor Man nor Boy = না মানুষ না বালক; Nor all that is at enmity with joy = না আনন্দের বিরোধী সব কিছু; Can utterly abolish or destroy = সম্পূর্ণভাবে ধ্বংস করতে পারে; Hence in a season of calm weather = তাই শান্ত আবহাওয়ার সময়ে; Though inland far we be = যদিও আমরা সমুদ্র থেকে অনেক দূরে থাকি; Our Souls have sight of that immortal sea = আমাদের আত্মা সেই অমর সমুদ্রকে দেখতে পায়; Which brought us hither = যা আমাদের এখানে এনেছে; Can in a moment travel thither = এক মুহূর্তে সেখানে পৌঁছে যেতে পারে; And see the Children sport upon the shore = এবং সেখানে শিশুদের সৈকতে খেলতে দেখে; And hear the mighty waters rolling evermore = এবং চিরকাল গর্জনরত বিশাল জলরাশির শব্দ শোনে। Explanation: In this stanza, Wordsworth says that the memories and instincts of childhood never completely disappear. These early feelings continue to guide and inspire us throughout life. They help us realize that there is a deeper spiritual truth beyond the material world, and no hardship, distraction, or worldly desire can completely erase them.The poet believes that in quiet and thoughtful moments, the human soul can look back to its heavenly origin. Through memory and imagination, we can briefly reconnect with the eternal world from which we came. This gives us comfort and reminds us that the soul is immortal, even though we live in the ordinary world. [X] Then sing, ye Birds, sing, sing a joyous song!                       And let the young

[vll] Behold the Child among his new-born blisses, A six years\’ Darling of a pigmy size! See, where \’mid work of his own hand he lies, Fretted by sallies of his mother\’s kisses, With light upon him from his father\’s eyes! See, at his feet, some little plan or chart, Some fragment from his dream of human life, Shaped by himself with newly-learn{e}d art                       A wedding or a festival,                       A mourning or a funeral;                          And this hath now his heart,                       And unto this he frames his song:                          Then will he fit his tongue To dialogues of business, love, or strife;                       But it will not be long                       Ere this be thrown aside,                       And with new joy and pride The little Actor cons another part; Filling from time to time his \”humorous stage\” With all the Persons, down to palsied Age, That Life brings with her in her equipage;                       As if his whole vocation                       Were endless imitation. Translation in bangla : Behold the Child among his new-born blisses = দেখো শিশুটিকে তার নতুন আনন্দের মাঝে; A six years\’ Darling of a pigmy size = ছয় বছরের ছোট্ট প্রিয় শিশু; See, where \’mid work of his own hand he lies = দেখো, যেখানে সে নিজের হাতে তৈরি জিনিসের মাঝে শুয়ে আছে; Fretted by sallies of his mother\’s kisses = মায়ের চঞ্চল চুম্বনে সে আনন্দিত/বিরক্তভাবে আন্দোলিত; With light upon him from his father\’s eyes = বাবার চোখের আলো তার উপর পড়ছে; See, at his feet, some little plan or chart = দেখো, তার পায়ের কাছে ছোট্ট কোনো পরিকল্পনা বা মানচিত্র; Some fragment from his dream of human life = মানুষের জীবনের স্বপ্নের কোনো অংশ; Shaped by himself with newly-learned art = সদ্য শেখা দক্ষতায় সে নিজেই বানিয়েছে; A wedding or a festival = কোনো বিয়ে বা উৎসব; A mourning or a funeral = কোনো শোক বা জানাজা/অন্ত্যেষ্টি; And this hath now his heart = আর এখন এটাই তার মন দখল করে আছে; And unto this he frames his song = এবং এ নিয়েই সে তার গান তৈরি করে; Then will he fit his tongue = তারপর সে তার ভাষাকে মানিয়ে নেবে; To dialogues of business, love, or strife = ব্যবসা, প্রেম বা দ্বন্দ্বের কথোপকথনের জন্য; But it will not be long = কিন্তু বেশি দেরি হবে না; Ere this be thrown aside = এই সব সে ছেড়ে দেবে; And with new joy and pride = এবং নতুন আনন্দ ও গর্ব নিয়ে; The little Actor cons another part = ছোট অভিনেতা আরেকটি চরিত্র শেখে; Filling from time to time his \”humorous stage\” = সময়ে সময়ে তার “রঙ্গমঞ্চ” পূর্ণ করে; With all the Persons, down to palsied Age = সব চরিত্র দিয়ে, এমনকি কাঁপা বৃদ্ধ বয়স পর্যন্ত; That Life brings with her in her equipage = যেগুলো জীবন তার সঙ্গে নিয়ে আসে; As if his whole vocation = যেন তার পুরো জীবনদায়িত্ব; Were endless imitation = ছিল কেবল অনন্ত অনুকরণ। Explanation: In this stanza, Wordsworth describes a six-year-old child who is happily absorbed in play. The child arranges his toys to represent different events of life such as weddings, festivals, funerals, and quarrels. He also imitates the language and actions of adults, pretending to be different kinds of people. As soon as he grows bored with one role, he eagerly takes on another.The poet suggests that the child learns by imitation. While playing, he slowly becomes attached to the ordinary activities of human life and begins to forget his heavenly origin. This marks the gradual loss of the spiritual innocence that, according to Wordsworth, belongs to childhood. [vlll] Thou, whose exterior semblance doth belie                       Thy Soul\’s immensity; Thou best Philosopher, who yet dost keep Thy heritage, thou Eye among the blind, That, deaf and silent, read\’st the eternal deep, Haunted for ever by the eternal mind,—                       Mighty Prophet! Seer blest!                       On whom those truths do rest, Which we are toiling all our lives to find, In darkness lost, the darkness of the grave; Thou, over whom thy Immortality Broods like the Day, a Master o\’er a Slave, A Presence which is not to be put by; Thou little Child, yet glorious in the might Of heaven-born freedom on thy being\’s height, Why with such earnest pains dost thou provoke The years to bring the inevitable yoke, Thus blindly with thy blessedness at strife? Full soon thy Soul shall have her earthly freight, And custom lie upon thee with a weight, Heavy as frost, and deep almost as life! Translation in bangla : Thou, whose exterior semblance doth belie = তুমি, যার বাহ্যিক রূপ সত্যকে আড়াল করে; Thy Soul\’s immensity = তোমার আত্মার অসীম বিস্তার; Thou best Philosopher, who yet dost keep = তুমি শ্রেষ্ঠ দার্শনিক, যে তবুও ধরে রেখেছ; Thy heritage = তোমার আদি উত্তরাধিকার; thou Eye among the blind = তুমি অন্ধদের মাঝে এক দৃষ্টিশক্তিসম্পন্ন চোখ; That, deaf and silent, read\’st the eternal deep = যে নীরব ও নির্বাক হয়েও চিরন্তন গভীরতাকে পড়তে পারো; Haunted for ever by the eternal mind = চিরকাল চিরন্তন মনের দ্বারা পরিবেষ্টিত; Mighty Prophet! Seer blest! = মহান নবী! আশীর্বাদধন্য দ্রষ্টা! On whom those truths do rest = যার ওপর সেই সত্যগুলো বিরাজমান; Which we are toiling all our lives to find = যেগুলো আমরা সারা জীবন খুঁজে ফিরি; In darkness lost, the darkness of the grave = কবরের অন্ধকারের মতো অন্ধকারে হারিয়ে; Thou, over whom thy Immortality = তুমি, যার উপর তোমার অমরত্ব; Broods like the Day, a Master o\’er a Slave = দিনের মতো ছায়া ফেলে, প্রভুর মতো দাসের উপর; A Presence which is not to be put by = এমন এক উপস্থিতি যা অস্বীকার করা যায় না; Thou little Child, yet glorious in the might = হে ছোট শিশু, তবুও মহিমাময় শক্তিতে পূর্ণ; Of heaven-born freedom on thy being\’s height = তোমার অস্তিত্বের উচ্চতায় স্বর্গজাত স্বাধীনতা নিয়ে; Why with such earnest pains dost thou provoke = কেন তুমি এমন আন্তরিক প্রচেষ্টায় ডেকে আনছ; The years to bring the inevitable yoke = সময়কে, যা অনিবার্য দাসত্বের ভার নিয়ে আসে; Thus blindly with thy blessedness

By William Wordsworth [lV] Ye blessèd creatures, I have heard the call       Ye to each other make; I see The heavens laugh with you in your jubilee;       My heart is at your festival,             My head hath its coronal, The fulness of your bliss, I feel—I feel it all.                       Oh evil day! if I were sullen                       While Earth herself is adorning,                          This sweet May-morning,                       And the Children are culling                          On every side, In a thousand valleys far and wide,                       Fresh flowers; while the sun shines warm, And the Babe leaps up on his Mother\’s arm:—                       I hear, I hear, with joy I hear!                       —But there\’s a Tree, of many, one, A single field which I have looked upon, Both of them speak of something that is gone;                       The Pansy at my feet                       Doth the same tale repeat: Whither is fled the visionary gleam? Where is it now, the glory and the dream? Translation in bangla : Ye blessèd creatures, I have heard the call = হে আশীর্বাদপুষ্ট প্রাণীগণ, আমি সেই আহ্বান শুনেছি; Ye to each other make = তোমরা একে অপরকে যে ডাক দাও; I see = আমি দেখি; The heavens laugh with you in your jubilee = তোমাদের উৎসবে আকাশও যেন হাসছে; My heart is at your festival = আমার হৃদয় তোমাদের উৎসবে অংশ নিচ্ছে; My head hath its coronal = আমার মাথায় রয়েছে এক মুকুট; The fulness of your bliss, I feel—I feel it all = তোমাদের পূর্ণ সুখ আমি অনুভব করি—আমি সবটাই অনুভব করি; Oh evil day! if I were sullen = আহা! অভিশপ্ত দিন হবে যদি আমি বিষণ্ণ থাকি; While Earth herself is adorning = যখন পৃথিবী নিজেকে সাজাচ্ছে; This sweet May-morning = এই মধুর মে সকালের; And the Children are culling = এবং শিশুরা ফুল তুলছে; On every side = চারদিকে; In a thousand valleys far and wide = হাজার হাজার দূরদূরান্তের উপত্যকায়; Fresh flowers = তাজা ফুল; while the sun shines warm = যখন সূর্য উষ্ণভাবে আলো দিচ্ছে; And the Babe leaps up on his Mother\’s arm = এবং শিশুটি তার মায়ের কোলে লাফ দিচ্ছে; I hear, I hear, with joy I hear! = আমি শুনি, আমি শুনি, আনন্দের সাথে শুনি; But there\’s a Tree, of many, one = কিন্তু বহু গাছের মধ্যে একটি গাছ আছে; A single field which I have looked upon = এবং একটি মাঠ যেটা আমি দেখেছি; Both of them speak of something that is gone = উভয়ই যেন কিছু হারিয়ে যাওয়ার কথা বলে; The Pansy at my feet = আমার পায়ের নিচের পানসি ফুল; Doth the same tale repeat = একই গল্পই বলে; Whither is fled the visionary gleam? = সেই কল্পনাময় ঝলক কোথায় হারিয়ে গেছে?; Where is it now, the glory and the dream? = এখন কোথায় সেই গৌরব ও স্বপ্ন? Explanation: In this stanza, Wordsworth joins in the joy of nature. He sees the sky, the flowers, the children, and every living creature celebrating the beauty of spring. His heart shares in their happiness, and he feels it would be wrong to remain sad on such a joyful morning.However, while everyone around him is cheerful, a single tree, a field, and even a small pansy flower remind him of something he has lost. They awaken memories of the heavenly beauty he experienced in childhood. Filled with sadness, he asks where that “visionary gleam” and the glorious dream of his childhood have disappeared. This shows that although nature is still beautiful, he can no longer see it with the same innocent and spiritual vision. [V] Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: The Soul that rises with us, our life\’s Star,                       Hath had elsewhere its setting,                          And cometh from afar:                       Not in entire forgetfulness,                       And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come                       From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close                       Upon the growing Boy, But he beholds the light, and whence it flows,                       He sees it in his joy; The Youth, who daily farther from the east                       Must travel, still is Nature\’s Priest,                       And by the vision splendid                       Is on his way attended; At length the Man perceives it die away, And fade into the light of common day. Translation in bangla : Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting = আমাদের জন্ম আসলে এক ঘুম ও বিস্মৃতি; The Soul that rises with us, our life\’s Star = যে আত্মা আমাদের সঙ্গে ওঠে, আমাদের জীবনের তারকা; Hath had elsewhere its setting = তার অস্তিত্ব অন্য কোথাও শুরু হয়েছিল; And cometh from afar = এবং সে দূর থেকে আসে; Not in entire forgetfulness = সম্পূর্ণ বিস্মৃত অবস্থায় নয়; And not in utter nakedness = এবং সম্পূর্ণ শূন্য অবস্থায়ও নয়; But trailing clouds of glory do we come = বরং আমরা মহিমার মেঘ নিয়ে আসি; From God, who is our home = ঈশ্বর থেকে, যিনি আমাদের প্রকৃত নিবাস; Heaven lies about us in our infancy = শৈশবে স্বর্গ আমাদের চারপাশে থাকে; Shades of the prison-house begin to close = জীবনের কারাগারের ছায়া ধীরে ধীরে ঘন হতে শুরু করে; Upon the growing Boy = বেড়ে ওঠা ছেলেটির উপর; But he beholds the light, and whence it flows = তবুও সে আলো দেখে এবং তার উৎস বোঝে; He sees it in his joy = সে তা আনন্দের মধ্যে অনুভব করে; The Youth, who daily farther from the east = যে যুবক প্রতিদিন উৎস (পূর্ব) থেকে দূরে সরে যায়; Must travel, still is Nature\’s Priest = তবুও সে প্রকৃতির পুরোহিতই থাকে; And by the vision splendid = এবং সেই মহিমান্বিত দর্শনের দ্বারা; Is on his way attended = তার পথ আলোকিত হয়; At length the Man perceives it die away = শেষ পর্যন্ত মানুষ বুঝতে পারে তা মিলিয়ে যাচ্ছে; And fade into the light of common day = এবং সাধারণ দিনের আলোতে তা বিলীন হয়ে যায়। Explanation: In this stanza, Wordsworth explains his famous idea about the pre-existence of the

However, he finds hope in memory, nature, and faith, believing that the soul is immortal and childhood’s wisdom continues to inspire adult life. Key Idea Children possess a divine light that gradually fades with age. Through memory and nature, people can regain spiritual strength and joy. Author’s Position Subjective – The poem reflects Wordsworth’s personal feelings and beliefs. Poet’s Attitude Hopeful yet sad. The poet mourns the loss of childhood innocence but believes that memory and faith provide lasting comfort. [ l ] There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,        The earth, and every common sight,                           To me did seem                       Apparelled in celestial light,             The glory and the freshness of a dream. It is not now as it hath been of yore;—                       Turn wheresoe\’er I may,                           By night or day. The things which I have seen I now can see no more. Translation in bangla : There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream = এক সময় ছিল যখন মাঠ, বনভূমি ও নদী; The earth, and every common sight = পৃথিবী এবং প্রতিটি সাধারণ দৃশ্য; To me did seem = আমার কাছে মনে হতো; Apparelled in celestial light = যেন স্বর্গীয় আলোয় আচ্ছাদিত; The glory and the freshness of a dream = স্বপ্নের গৌরব ও সতেজতা নিয়ে; It is not now as it hath been of yore = এখন আর তা আগের মতো নেই; Turn wheresoe\’er I may = যেদিকেই আমি তাকাই; By night or day = রাত হোক বা দিন; The things which I have seen I now can see no more = আমি আগে যা দেখতাম, এখন আর তা দেখতে পাই না। Explanation: Wordsworth recalls his childhood when every part of nature seemed filled with heavenly beauty. Meadows, trees, streams, and even ordinary sights appeared magical because of his innocent and imaginative mind. He describes this beauty as “celestial light”, suggesting that nature looked divine and dreamlike.As he grew older, he lost this special way of seeing the world. Nature is still beautiful, but it no longer gives him the same spiritual joy and wonder. This feeling of loss introduces the central theme of the poem, the contrast between the innocent vision of childhood and the mature outlook of adulthood. [ll]                       The Rainbow comes and goes,                       And lovely is the Rose,                       The Moon doth with delight        Look round her when the heavens are bare,                       Waters on a starry night                       Are beautiful and fair;        The sunshine is a glorious birth;        But yet I know, where\’er I go, That there hath past away a glory from the earth. Translation in bangla : The Rainbow comes and goes = রংধনু আসে এবং চলে যায়; And lovely is the Rose = এবং গোলাপ ফুল অত্যন্ত সুন্দর; The Moon doth with delight = চাঁদ আনন্দের সাথে; Look round her when the heavens are bare = আকাশ যখন মেঘশূন্য থাকে তখন চারদিকে তাকায়; Waters on a starry night = তারাভরা রাতে জলরাশি; Are beautiful and fair = সুন্দর ও মনোরম; The sunshine is a glorious birth = সূর্যের আলো এক মহিমান্বিত জন্মের মতো; But yet I know, where\’er I go = কিন্তু তবুও আমি জানি, যেখানেই যাই; That there hath past away a glory from the earth = পৃথিবী থেকে এক মহিমা হারিয়ে গেছে। Explanation: Wordsworth says that nature is still beautiful. The rainbow appears and disappears, the rose continues to bloom, the moon shines brightly in the clear sky, the waters sparkle under the stars, and the sunrise remains glorious. These natural scenes still fill him with admiration.Yet, despite all this beauty, the poet feels that something precious has been lost. The heavenly glory that he experienced in childhood is no longer present. Nature has not changed, but his way of seeing it has changed. This reflects the poem’s central idea that adulthood cannot recover the innocent and spiritual vision of childhood. [lll] Now, while the birds thus sing a joyous song,        And while the young lambs bound                       As to the tabor\’s sound, To me alone there came a thought of grief: A timely utterance gave that thought relief,                       And I again am strong: The cataracts blow their trumpets from the steep; No more shall grief of mine the season wrong; Translation in bangla : Now, while the birds thus sing a joyous song = এখন, যখন পাখিরা এমন আনন্দময় গান গাইছে; And while the young lambs bound = এবং যখন ছোট মেষশাবকগুলো লাফিয়ে বেড়াচ্ছে; As to the tabor\’s sound = যেন তবলার শব্দের সাথে তাল মিলিয়ে; To me alone there came a thought of grief = শুধু আমার মনে এক দুঃখের চিন্তা এলো; A timely utterance gave that thought relief = সময়োপযোগী উচ্চারণ সেই চিন্তাকে স্বস্তি দিল; And I again am strong = এবং আমি আবার শক্তিশালী হলাম; The cataracts blow their trumpets from the steep = পাহাড় থেকে জলপ্রপাতগুলো যেন শিঙার মতো বাজছে; No more shall grief of mine the season wrong = আমার দুঃখ আর এই ঋতুকে নষ্ট করবে না। Explanation: Wordsworth describes the joyful atmosphere of spring. The birds are singing happily, the young lambs are jumping playfully, and the waterfalls roar like trumpets. Everything in nature is full of life and celebration.At first, the poet alone feels sad because he remembers the lost glory of his childhood. However, by expressing his sorrow, he finds comfort and regains his strength. He decides that he will no longer allow his personal grief to spoil the beauty and happiness of the spring season. Instead, he chooses to share in nature’s joy. I hear the Echoes through the mountains throng,        The Winds come to me from the

WILLIAM WORDSWORTH part-04 Knowing that Nature never did betray The heart that loved her; \’tis her privilege, Through all the years of this our life, to lead From joy to joy: for she can so inform The mind that is within us, so impress With quietness and beauty, and so feed With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues, Rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men, Translation in Bangla: Knowing that Nature never did betray = জেনে যে প্রকৃতি কখনো বিশ্বাসঘাতকতা করেনি; The heart that loved her = যে হৃদয় তাকে ভালোবাসে তার সঙ্গে; ’tis her privilege = এটি তার এক বিশেষ অধিকার; Through all the years of this our life = আমাদের এই জীবনের সব বছর ধরে; to lead = পথ দেখাতে; From joy to joy = এক আনন্দ থেকে আরেক আনন্দে; for she can so inform = কারণ সে এমনভাবে সমৃদ্ধ করতে পারে; The mind that is within us = আমাদের অন্তরের মনকে; so impress = এমনভাবে প্রভাবিত করতে পারে; With quietness and beauty = শান্তি ও সৌন্দর্যে; and so feed = এবং এমনভাবে পুষ্ট করতে পারে; With lofty thoughts = উচ্চ চিন্তায়; that neither evil tongues = যাতে কোনো কুৎসিত ভাষা; Rash judgments = তাড়াহুড়ো করা বিচার; nor the sneers of selfish men = কিংবা স্বার্থপর মানুষের বিদ্রূপ—কোনোটাই। Explanation Wordsworth says that nature never disappoints those who truly love her. Throughout life, nature leads people from one joy to another, filling their minds with peace, beauty, and noble thoughts. As a result, they remain strong and calm, unaffected by criticism, harsh judgments, or the selfish behavior of others. Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all The dreary intercourse of daily life, Shall e\’er prevail against us, or disturb Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold Is full of blessings. Therefore let the moon Shine on thee in thy solitary walk; And let the misty mountain-winds be free To blow against thee: and, in after years, Translation in Bangla: Nor greetings where no kindness is = যেখানে কোনো সদয়তা নেই এমন অভিবাদনও নয়; nor all = কিংবা সমস্ত কিছুই; The dreary intercourse of daily life = দৈনন্দিন জীবনের বিষণ্ন ও ক্লান্তিকর মেলামেশা; Shall e\’er prevail against us = কখনো আমাদের উপর প্রভাব বিস্তার করতে পারবে না; or disturb = কিংবা ব্যাহত করতে পারবে না; Our cheerful faith = আমাদের আনন্দময় বিশ্বাসকে; that all which we behold = যে আমরা যা কিছু দেখি; Is full of blessings = তা আশীর্বাদে পূর্ণ; Therefore let the moon = তাই চাঁদকে; Shine on thee in thy solitary walk = তোমার একাকী চলার পথে আলো দিতে দাও; And let the misty mountain-winds be free = এবং কুয়াশাচ্ছন্ন পাহাড়ের বাতাসকে মুক্তভাবে; To blow against thee = তোমার উপর বয়ে যেতে দাও; and, in after years = এবং ভবিষ্যৎ বছরে। Explanation Wordsworth says that those who truly love nature can remain happy and peaceful despite the difficulties of everyday life. He prays that his sister, Dorothy, will always enjoy the beauty of nature. He hopes the moon, the mountains, and the fresh wind will protect and inspire her, so that she will always find comfort, strength, and blessings in nature. When these wild ecstasies shall be matured Into a sober pleasure; when thy mind Shall be a mansion for all lovely forms, Thy memory be as a dwelling-place For all sweet sounds and harmonies; oh! then, If solitude, or fear, or pain, or grief, Should be thy portion, with what healing thoughts Of tender joy wilt thou remember me, And these my exhortations! Nor, perchance— If I should be where I no more can hear Thy voice, nor catch from thy wild eyes these gleams Of past existence—wilt thou then forget That on the banks of this delightful stream Translation in Bangla: When these wild ecstasies shall be matured = যখন এই উচ্ছ্বসিত আবেগগুলো পরিণত হবে; Into a sober pleasure = শান্ত ও সংযত আনন্দে; when thy mind = যখন তোমার মন; Shall be a mansion for all lovely forms = সকল সুন্দর রূপের একটি আবাসস্থল হবে; Thy memory be as a dwelling-place = তোমার স্মৃতি হবে একটি বাসস্থান; For all sweet sounds and harmonies = সকল মধুর শব্দ ও সুরের জন্য; oh! then = আহা! তখন; If solitude, or fear, or pain, or grief = যদি একাকীত্ব, ভয়, কষ্ট বা শোক; Should be thy portion = তোমার ভাগ্য হয়ে আসে; with what healing thoughts = কতটা আরোগ্যদায়ক চিন্তায়; Of tender joy wilt thou remember me = তুমি আমাকে কোমল আনন্দের সঙ্গে স্মরণ করবে; and these my exhortations = এবং আমার এই উপদেশগুলো; Nor, perchance— = এবং সম্ভবত নয়—; If I should be where I no more can hear = যদি আমি এমন জায়গায় থাকি যেখানে আমি আর শুনতে না পাই; Thy voice = তোমার কণ্ঠ; nor catch from thy wild eyes these gleams = কিংবা তোমার উচ্ছ্বসিত চোখের সেই ঝলকগুলো দেখতে না পাই; Of past existence = অতীত জীবনের; wilt thou then forget = তবে কি তুমি ভুলে যাবে; That on the banks of this delightful stream = যে এই মনোরম নদীর তীরে। Explanation Wordsworth tells his sister, Dorothy, that as she grows older, her youthful excitement will turn into a calmer and deeper appreciation of nature. He hopes that nature’s beauty and memories will always remain in her mind and give her comfort during times of loneliness, fear, pain, or sorrow. The poet also wishes that even if he is no longer with her, she will remember him, his advice, and the happy moments they shared beside the River Wye. We stood together; and that I, so long A worshipper of Nature, hither came Unwearied in that service: rather say With warmer love—oh! with far deeper zeal Of holier love. Nor wilt thou then forget, That after many wanderings, many years Of absence, these steep woods and lofty cliffs, And this green pastoral landscape, were to me More dear, both for themselves and for thy sake! Translation in Bangla: We stood together = আমরা একসাথে দাঁড়িয়েছিলাম; and that I, so long = এবং আমি, এত দীর্ঘ সময় ধরে; A worshipper

WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Part-03 Their colours and their forms, were then to me An appetite; a feeling and a love, That had no need of a remoter charm, By thought supplied, nor any interest Unborrowed from the eye.—That time is past, And all its aching joys are now no more, And all its dizzy raptures. Not for this Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur; other gifts Translation in Bangla: Their colours and their forms, were then to me = তাদের রং ও আকৃতি তখন আমার কাছে ছিল; An appetite = এক ধরনের তীব্র আকাঙ্ক্ষা; a feeling and a love = একটি অনুভূতি এবং ভালোবাসা; That had no need of a remoter charm = যার জন্য কোনো দূরবর্তী কল্পনার আকর্ষণের দরকার ছিল না; By thought supplied = চিন্তা দ্বারা তৈরি; nor any interest = কিংবা কোনো আগ্রহ; Unborrowed from the eye = যা চোখ থেকে ধার করা নয়; That time is past = সেই সময় এখন অতীত; And all its aching joys are now no more = এবং তার সমস্ত ব্যথাময় আনন্দ এখন আর নেই; And all its dizzy raptures = এবং তার সমস্ত ঘোর লাগা উচ্ছ্বাসও নেই; Not for this = এর জন্য নয়; Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur = আমি ক্লান্ত হই না, শোক করি না, বা অভিযোগও করি না; other gifts = অন্য উপহারগুলো। Explanation In these lines, Wordsworth says that when he was young, he loved nature only for its beauty and colours. He enjoyed nature through his eyes without thinking deeply about it. But now those youthful excitement and intense feelings are gone. However, he does not feel sad, because as he has grown older, nature has given him something greater—spiritual peace, wisdom, and a deeper understanding of life. Have followed; for such loss, I would believe, Abundant recompense. For I have learned To look on nature, not as in the hour Of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes The still sad music of humanity, Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power To chasten and subdue.—And I have felt A presence that disturbs me with the joy Translation in Bangla: Have followed; for such loss, I would believe = এমন ক্ষতির পরেও এসেছে; এবং আমি বিশ্বাস করি; Abundant recompense = পর্যাপ্ত প্রতিদান; For I have learned = কারণ আমি শিখেছি; To look on nature, not as in the hour = প্রকৃতিকে দেখতে, সেইভাবে নয় যেমন আমি দেখি; Of thoughtless youth = চিন্তাহীন যৌবনের সময়ে; but hearing oftentimes = বরং প্রায়ই শুনতে পেয়ে; The still sad music of humanity = মানবতার নীরব দুঃখময় সুর; Nor harsh nor grating = যা কঠোর বা কর্কশ নয়; though of ample power = যদিও যথেষ্ট শক্তিশালী; To chasten and subdue = শুদ্ধ ও সংযত করার জন্য; And I have felt = এবং আমি অনুভব করেছি; A presence that disturbs me with the joy = এমন এক উপস্থিতি যা আমাকে আনন্দের মাধ্যমে আন্দোলিত করে। Explanation In these lines, Wordsworth says that although he has lost the intense excitement of youth, nature has given him a greater reward. Now he no longer sees nature only for its beauty. Instead, nature teaches him about human life, suffering, and compassion. Through this deeper understanding, he becomes wiser, calmer, and spiritually stronger. He also feels the presence of a divine power in nature, which fills him with joy and inner peace. Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime Of something far more deeply interfused, Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, And the round ocean and the living air, And the blue sky, and in the mind of man: A motion and a spirit, that impels All thinking things, all objects of all thought, Translation in Bangla: Of elevated thoughts = উচ্চতর চিন্তাধারার; a sense sublime = এক মহিমান্বিত অনুভূতি; Of something far more deeply interfused = এমন কিছুর, যা আরও গভীরভাবে সর্বত্র মিশে আছে; Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns = যার বাস সূর্যাস্তের আলোতে; And the round ocean and the living air = এবং বৃত্তাকার সমুদ্র ও জীবন্ত বায়ুতে; And the blue sky = এবং নীল আকাশে; and in the mind of man = এবং মানুষের মনে; A motion and a spirit = এক চলনশক্তি ও আত্মা; that impels = যা প্রেরণা দেয়; All thinking things = সকল চিন্তাশীল সত্তাকে; all objects of all thought = এবং সকল চিন্তার সকল বস্তুকে। Explanation Wordsworth says that he feels a divine spiritual presence in nature. He believes this unseen power exists in the sunset, the ocean, the air, the sky, and even in the human mind. This universal spirit gives life, inspires thought, and connects all living things. Through nature, the poet experiences deep spiritual joy, wisdom, and a sense of unity with the whole universe. And rolls through all things. Therefore am I still A lover of the meadows and the woods And mountains; and of all that we behold From this green earth; of all the mighty world Of eye, and ear,—both what they half create, And what perceive; well pleased to recognise In nature and the language of the sense The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse, The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul Of all my moral being. Translation in Bangla: And rolls through all things = এবং সকল কিছুর মধ্য দিয়ে প্রবাহিত হয়; Therefore am I still = তাই আমি এখনও; A lover of the meadows and the woods = মাঠ ও বনভূমির প্রেমিক; And mountains = এবং পাহাড়ের; and of all that we behold = এবং আমরা যা কিছু দেখি তার সবকিছুর; From this green earth = এই সবুজ পৃথিবী থেকে; of all the mighty world = সমগ্র বিশাল জগতের; Of eye, and ear = চোখ ও কানের; both what they half create = যা তারা আংশিকভাবে সৃষ্টি করে; And what perceive = এবং যা তারা উপলব্ধি করে; well pleased to recognise = আনন্দের সাথে স্বীকার করে; In nature and the language of the sense = প্রকৃতিতে এবং ইন্দ্রিয়ের ভাষায়; The anchor of my purest thoughts = আমার সবচেয়ে পবিত্র চিন্তার ভিত্তি; the nurse = লালনকারী; The guide = পথপ্রদর্শক; The guardian of my

WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Part-02 To them I may have owed another gift, Of aspect more sublime; that blessed mood, In which the burthen of the mystery, In which the heavy and the weary weight Of all this unintelligible world, Is lightened:—that serene and blessed mood, In which the affections gently lead us on,— Translation in Bangla: To them I may have owed another gift = তাদের কাছে আমি হয়তো আরেকটি উপহারের জন্য ঋণী; Of aspect more sublime = যা আরও মহিমান্বিত প্রকৃতির; that blessed mood = সেই আশীর্বাদপুষ্ট মানসিক অবস্থা; In which the burthen of the mystery = যেখানে রহস্যের বোঝা; In which the heavy and the weary weight = যেখানে ভারী ও ক্লান্তিকর ভার; Of all this unintelligible world = এই সমগ্র দুর্বোধ্য বিশ্বের; Is lightened = হালকা হয়ে যায়; that serene and blessed mood = সেই শান্ত ও আশীর্বাদপুষ্ট মানসিক অবস্থা; In which the affections gently lead us on = যেখানে অনুভূতিগুলো আমাদের কোমলভাবে পথ দেখিয়ে নিয়ে চলে। Explanation: Wordsworth says that nature has given him an even greater gift—a deep spiritual peace. In this blessed state of mind, the worries, confusion, and mysteries of life feel much lighter. Nature calms his heart and gently guides his emotions, helping him rise above the troubles of the world. These lines show that nature provides not only physical pleasure but also spiritual comfort and inner wisdom. Until, the breath of this corporeal frame And even the motion of our human blood Almost suspended, we are laid asleep In body, and become a living soul: While with an eye made quiet by the power Of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.                                                         If this Translation in Bangla: Until, the breath of this corporeal frame = যতক্ষণ না এই দেহের শ্বাস-প্রশ্বাস; And even the motion of our human blood = এবং এমনকি আমাদের রক্তের প্রবাহও; Almost suspended = প্রায় স্থির হয়ে যায়; we are laid asleep = আমরা যেন নিদ্রিত হয়ে পড়ি; In body = দেহে; and become a living soul = এবং এক জীবন্ত আত্মায় পরিণত হই; While with an eye made quiet by the power = তখন এমন এক দৃষ্টিতে, যা শান্ত হয়েছে শক্তির দ্বারা; Of harmony = সামঞ্জস্যের; and the deep power of joy = এবং আনন্দের গভীর শক্তির; We see into the life of things = আমরা জগতের সকল বস্তুর অন্তর্নিহিত জীবনকে দেখতে পাই। If this = যদি এটি। Explanation: Wordsworth describes a deep spiritual experience inspired by nature. In this peaceful state, the body seems almost still, while the soul becomes fully awake. Filled with harmony and joy, the mind gains a deeper understanding of life and the hidden truth of the universe. These lines express the Romantic belief that nature can elevate the human soul and reveal profound spiritual truths. Be but a vain belief, yet, oh! how oft— In darkness and amid the many shapes Of joyless daylight; when the fretful stir Unprofitable, and the fever of the world, Have hung upon the beatings of my heart— How oft, in spirit, have I turned to thee, O sylvan Wye! thou wanderer thro\’ the woods, Translation in Bangla: Be but a vain belief = যদি এটি কেবল একটি ভ্রান্ত বিশ্বাসই হয়; yet, oh! how oft = তবুও, আহা! কতবার; In darkness = অন্ধকারে; and amid the many shapes = এবং নানাবিধ রূপের মধ্যে; Of joyless daylight = আনন্দহীন দিনের আলোয়; when the fretful stir = যখন উদ্বিগ্ন ব্যস্ততা; Unprofitable = নিষ্ফল; and the fever of the world = এবং বিশ্বের উন্মত্ত অস্থিরতা; Have hung upon the beatings of my heart = আমার হৃদস্পন্দনের উপর ভার হয়ে নেমে এসেছে; How oft, in spirit, have I turned to thee = কতবার, মনে মনে, আমি তোমার দিকে ফিরে গেছি; O sylvan Wye! = হে বনভূমিবেষ্টিত ওয়াই নদী! thou wanderer thro\’ the woods = তুমি, যে বনভূমির মধ্য দিয়ে বয়ে চলেছ। Explanation: Wordsworth says that even if his belief in nature’s spiritual power is not true, he still knows that nature has always given him comfort. Whenever he felt troubled by the stress, worries, and emptiness of everyday life, he would mentally return to the River Wye. The memory of the river brought him peace, strength, and relief from the burdens of the world.          How often has my spirit turned to thee!    And now, with gleams of half-extinguished thought, With many recognitions dim and faint, And somewhat of a sad perplexity, The picture of the mind revives again: While here I stand, not only with the sense Of present pleasure, but with pleasing thoughts That in this moment there is life and food Translation in Bangla: How often has my spirit turned to thee! = কতবার আমার আত্মা তোমার দিকে ফিরে গেছে!; And now, with gleams of half-extinguished thought = আর এখন, প্রায় নিভে যাওয়া চিন্তার ক্ষীণ ঝলক নিয়ে; With many recognitions dim and faint = বহু অস্পষ্ট ও ক্ষীণ স্মৃতিচিহ্নসহ; And somewhat of a sad perplexity = এবং কিছুটা বিষণ্ন বিভ্রান্তি নিয়ে; The picture of the mind revives again = মনের সেই চিত্র আবার জীবন্ত হয়ে ওঠে; While here I stand = যখন আমি এখানে দাঁড়িয়ে আছি; not only with the sense = শুধু অনুভূতি নিয়ে নয়; Of present pleasure = বর্তমান আনন্দের; but with pleasing thoughts = বরং আনন্দদায়ক চিন্তাসহ; That in this moment there is life and food = যে এই মুহূর্তে এখানে জীবন ও পুষ্টির উৎস রয়েছে। Explanation: Wordsworth says that his mind again fills with memories of the River Wye, although they are not as clear as before. Along with a slight feeling of sadness, he experiences great happiness because he is once again standing in this beautiful place. He enjoys the present beauty of nature and feels hopeful that these moments will continue to nourish his mind and soul in the future. For future years. And so I dare to hope, Though changed, no doubt, from what I was when first I came among these hills; when like a roe I bounded o\’er the mountains, by the sides Of the deep rivers, and the lonely streams,
