A slumber did my Spirit Seal
By William Wordsworth

This poem is about the poet's feelings on the death of a loved one.
The poet says that he had been in a state of deep sleep. It seemed as if the slumber had sealed his spirit.
In that dream like stage he was unable to sense any realities and had no human fears or anxieties.
His beloved being dead will not be able to feel the touch of earthly years.
She doesn't have motion or force, she is unable to hear or see.
She has become a part of nature with other rocks, stones and trees.. She is also turning around with the earth in its everyday motion.
