In the final stanza of the poem (Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey), the speaker makes it clear that he was speaking with his sister (Dorothy Wordsworth) during his entire time of conversation. His younger self was like someone running away from something that he dreaded, rather than running toward something he loves. He was enthralled by everything he saw and desperate to take it all in. He tells us that when he was here five years ago he ran like a child through the countryside. The speaker (Wordsworth) sets his current self apart from the way he was five years ago. He finds greater value in the soul and the “deep power of joy” into life itself. Due to its beauty and precious mind state of the speaker, it has allowed him to transcend the restrictions of his physical body, through which speaker become only his soul.

Wordsworth thanks these memories for granting him the wonderful and precious mood in which he felt free from the burdens of dreadful world. In fact, this landscape has taken him farther- this has affected his actions and pushing him to do goodness and generous acts. Wordsworth says that whenever there was a moment he felt trapped by the noisiness and loneliness in the world or dragged down by “dreary” life he would cast his mind back to this specific spot. They have stayed with him through his absence and encouraged him during the unpleasant situations. Though he was away from the beauteous form of the landscape, he did not forget and could picture it vividly.
