Nature is termed as the preserver of joy and thus imparts joy whenever sorrow is felt, the poet said that nature has a privilege to lead people to joy and therefore we have to interact with it. That is, nature imparts a sense of consolation to its audience the poet says that nature will comfort his sister at the time of sorrow. .Also, nature portrays a sense of freedom whereby all people are equally placed within it and where laws are placed to regulate it. Nature has got a moral influence to human as it poses spiritual connection with a man. He views nature as the anchor of the thoughts, the guardian of his heart and more so the as the soul of his moral being. The poet also displays nature as the teacher. That is, nature not only attracts humans for its beauty but also makes human aware of the hidden perspective. And something is wrong within mankind that is responsible for the suffering and also nature is a teacher of joy and can never betray hearts of those that adore it.Freedom is loved by everyone and no one wants to be provoked.

Also, nature as it is comprised of different kinds of livings, there are instances where it feels being provoked. For instance, the poet at his tender age during the visit at Tintern Abbey, he was going after birds nest a sense that made nature feel provoked. Nature being close to God, it needs to be acknowledged by humans and failure to which man will have to lose his spiritual value. Therefore, man needs to view nature as it was before mankind felled. Humans need to take care of nature as without nature life is meaningless. Also, nature deserves some aspects of respect in that it imparts educations to its surrounding for instance, the poet gained some experience during his visit and he was in a position to come up with a poem about nature. Contrary, to what needs to be done to nature, man has gone an extra mile in provoking nature by deforesting thus interfering with the good sensation.

Nature felt being provoked when the world became less human and nature was overtaken through the creation of cities, industries and manufacturing firms.According to Wordsworth, having a close relationship with nature aids human to have a strong connection with both spiritual and social world. He tries to show humankind how love to nature leads to love of mankind. There is a feeling that, humans has lost their humanity as they have distanced themselves far away from nature and they have gone to leave in cities. Also, nature portrays a meaning of not being lonely.

The poet said when he felt being in darkness, he would visit nature where he will feel being accompanied. He also tells that he felt being healed the moment he visited the place. Nature seems to be gentle as it brings consolation to humanity however, a problem is encountered. That is, nature brings comfort however faced with distress.

According to the poet, nature has also got a sense of healing on a man spirits.
