   The beautiful sonnet has been composed by William Wordsworth. He has been regarded as the port of nature in English Literature. His poetry is full of natural scenes. The view of London from Westminster bridge, at dawn, inspired Wordsworth to write this everlasting person.

    In this beautiful sonnet, poet paints before us the beautiful picture of the city of London. Which he happened to observe from the Westminster bridge in the early hours of the day. The city looked very beautiful, as the complete silence was prevailing over the whole city. The poet is greatly impressed by the beauty of the city. The towers, ships and the buildings were visible and glittering in the mist less or smokeless air. He also saw the sun rising up. The opening rays of the sun were touching the peaks of hills and villages. The river was also flowering very smoothly. It seemed to the poet that not only the people but even the houses of the city were sleeping. The whole London city was absorbed in complete silence and it seemed as if the whole city of London was wearing the garment of the beauty of morning.
