"We Are Seven" by William Wordsworth (read by Tom O'Bedlam)

The most important thing about this poem is that it didn't actually happen. It reflects Wordsworth's sentimental view of the world: it wasn't a real incident. He was inspired by a grave which bore the inscription - "We are Seven" in the Church yard in Conway, North Wales. It would be an astonishing coincidence if he actually met a girl near Conway who used exactly the same words. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_are_S... The first lines were apparently contributed by his friend Coleridge, but changed later to remove the "Brother Jim" reference perhaps because "Brother Jim" told him, "There is one poem in it which I earnestly entrate you will cancel, for, if published, it will make you ever lastingly ridiculous." It was first published anonymously in about 1798 "Girl on a Footbridge" was painted by Alexej Harlamoff (1842-1922)
