William Wordsworth's poetry is frequently celebrated for its deep devotion to nature and its investigation of the emotional and spiritual relationship between humanity and the natural universe. In Short’s oeuvre, nature appears as more than the mere subject for the aesthetic contemplating self, but also the rejuvenating logo therapy of soulful solace and renewal for the tired self. The following article examines nature as source of spiritual healing in Wordsworth's poetry by emphasizing how Wordsworth presents Nature as a remedy for emotional breakdown, for moral direction and for spiritual development. By focusing on poems such as Tintern Abbey, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, and The Prelude, this book reveals the various ways in which Wordsworth's description of nature is far from a sedative one, transforming the much-loved but typically reductive image of the poet of daffodils and pensive walks, into a writer consumed by the spirit of a physical world whose plenitude can wash away despondency and fill us with joy. Wordsworth's nature is a balm for individual misery, and a sage who instructs in moral and religious truth. The poet´s philosophical and spiritual assumptions are shown through his depiction of nature as a persistent force in healing that serves as an antidote to the estrangement and fragmentation of modern society. By focusing on the relationship of memory, sensory perception, and reflection in Wordsworth's poetry, the essay contends that nature does not simply function as an external space, but rather has the role of a mirror to the human soul, allowing one to delve into the self and God. In the end, this endeavour highlights Wordsworth's faith in the regenerative force of nature, including its power to cure both the self and society, and to present a vision for spiritual renewal during the progression of the modern industrial era.
