What poem by William Wordsworth contains the phrase "My heart leaps up"?

  1. "Daffodils"

  2. "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey"

  3. "Miscellaneous Sonnets"

  4. "The Excursion"

The correct answer is: "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey"

The poem "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" contains the phrase "My heart leaps up", making it the correct answer. Option A, "Daffodils", is a possible distractor as it is another well-known poem by William Wordsworth that contains the phrase "I wandered lonely as a cloud", often incorrectly remembered as "I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o'er vales and hills". Options C and D, "Miscellaneous Sonnets" and "The Excursion", are collections of poems and thus do not contain any specific phrase that can be attributed to a single poem.
