Read the extract and answer the following questions.

I love the Brooks which down their channels fret,

Even more than when I tripped lightly as they;

The innocent brightness of a new-born Day Is lovely yet;

The Clouds that gather round the setting Sun

Do take a sober colouring from an eye

That hath kept watch o'er man's mortality;

Another race hath been and other palms are won.

Thanks to the human heart by which we live,

Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,

To me, the meanest flower that blows can give

Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
