Who wrote the poem Lines Composed A Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey?

• A. Wordsworth
• B. Coleridge
• C. Keats
• D. Byron

Answer: (A)

This poem was written by William Wordsworth, a central figure of English Romanticism known for turning attention to nature, memory, and everyday experience. Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey was created during a 1798 walk along the Wye Valley and later published in Lyrical Ballads, the collection Wordsworth shared with Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The poem embodies Wordsworth’s style: simple, speech-like language that deepens through reflection on nature’s influence on the speaker’s emotions and sense of self. While Coleridge helped with Lyrical Ballads as a whole, this particular piece is Wordsworth’s work. Keats and Byron are different Romantic poets whose notable poems come from other times and concerns, so they aren’t the authors of this poem.
