which poems did this come from?

[willowbee]

I happened to catch the last few minutes of criminal minds the other night and one of the characters recited a poem by wordsworth and i can only remeber these words 'in the glory of the night'
I would love to know which of wordsworths poems it came from. If anyone can help that would be great.

thanks.

"A Night Piece" has the line "in the glory of the heavens" ?

Was this the episode about the serial killer who woke up after a long coma? If so, it was Ode On Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood. To long to post here (Google it), but the bit in the ep was:

What though the radiance which was once so bright

Be now for ever taken from my sight,

Though nothing can bring back the hour

Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find

Strength in what remains behind;
