The Poetical Works of William Wordsworth — Volume 4 (of 8)

Note notes — SONG AT THE FEAST OF BROUGHAM CASTLE,

Reading edition

[U] Barden Tower is on the western bank of the Wharfe, fully two miles north-west of Bolton Priory, above the Strid. At the time of the restoration of the Shepherd-lord, Barden Tower was only a keeper's forest lodge. It is so hidden in trees, and so retired, that the situation is most accurately described as

the shy recess Of Barden's lowly quietness.Ed.
