'Nuns Fret Not'

We often hear voices from glowing screens saying that we're 'trapped at home' during this period of coronavirus lockdown.

Joseph DeCamp (1858-1923) The Seamstress
(1916), Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington

This sonnet by William Wordsworth (1770-1850) expresses a different view of such limitations. His sonnet speaks to thriving within a self-imposed confinement. 

'Nuns fret not at their Convent’s narrow room;
And Hermits are contented with their Cells;
And Students with their pensive Citadels;
Maids at the Wheel, the Weaver at his Loom

Sit blithe and happy; Bees that soar for bloom,
High as the highest Peak of Furness-Fells,
Will murmur by the hour in Foxglove bells:
In truth the prison, into which we doom
Ourselves, no prison is: and hence for me,
In sundry moods, ’twas pastime to be bound
Within the Sonnet’s scanty plot of ground;
Pleased if some Souls (for such there needs must be)
Who have felt the weight of too much liberty,
Should find brief solace there, as I have found.'

Art: Joseph DeCamp (1858-1923)
Words: William Wordsworth.
