Of aspect more sublime that blessed mood, On that best portion of a good man's life, Of unremembered pleasure" may have helped him to be a better person, perhaps simply by putting him in a better mood than he would have been in otherwise: In the second stanza Wordsworth tells his readers that his first visit to this place gave him "sensations sweet" when he was in the "lonely rooms" of the city. He describes the "Steep and lofty cliffs," the "wild secluded scene," the "quiet of the sky," the "dark sycamore" he sits under, the trees of the orchard, and the "pastoral farms" with "wreaths of smoke" billowing from their chimneys. Wordsworth begins his poem by telling the reader that it has been five years since he has been to this place a few miles from the abbey. Often the poem is simply called "Tintern Abbey." The abbreviated title is effective for clarity's sake, but it is also misleading, as the poem does not actually take place in the abbey. Dorothy is referred to as "Friend" throughout the poem.
In 1798 he returned to the same place with his beloved sister, Dorothy Wordsworth, who was a year younger. At the age of twenty-three (in August of 1793), Wordsworth had visited the desolate abbey alone. "Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey" was written in July of 1798 and published as the last poem of Lyrical Ballads, also in 1798.
