Content Provider	Punjab School Education Board
Author	Wordsworth, William
Description	This is the 3rd chapter of "The Literary Petals: Communication Skills through Literature" for class XII(elective course) under Punjab School Education Board, Government of Punjab. The very short poem My Heart Leaps up when I Behold consisting of 9 lines only was written on March 26, 1802 and published in 1807 as an epigraph to 'Ode: Intimations of Immortality', by William Wordsworth. The poet shows the everlasting influence of nature oh him from his childhood. On the surface, “My Heart Leaps up when I Behold” is about the simple beauty of a rainbow that we perceive normally in our daily life. But, an implicit study of the poem vividly shows that the poet is saying that people should maintain their pure sense of childlike curiosity well into adulthood and old age too. He focuses on the symbol of ‘rainbow’, which stand, for him, as a divine, and he thinks it should be for everyone.
