Detailed explanation-1: -When and where was it originally composed? Some or all of stanzas one to four were written on 27 March 1802; most of the last seven were completed in early 1804, probably on 6 March. At the time, Wordsworth was living at Town-End, Grasmere.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the Ode: Intimations of Immortality, Wordsworth concluded that he gives thanks that was able to gain even though he lost his vision of the joy in the world, but in the later work he tones down his emphasis on the gain and provides only a muted thanks for what remains of his ability to see the glory in the world.
Detailed explanation-3: -Memory and Sense of Loss Wordsworth is concerned with the theme of memory and the passing of time in the “Immortality Ode.” In the first stanza the speaker is reminiscing on the times of old when everything seemed to be “appareled in celestial light, / The glory and the freshness of a dream.” (1:4-5).
Detailed explanation-4: -Wordsworth wrote ‘Ode: Intimations of Immortality’ between March 1802 and March 1804; it was published in 1807. The three lines from ‘The Rainbow’ (’My heart leaps up’) were only added as epigraph in 1815; the original epigraph in 1807 was from the Roman poet Virgil, and translates as ‘Let us sing a loftier strain’.
