The Excursion – poemat angielskiego romantyka Williama Wordswortha. W zamierzeniu autora miał on być częścią większej całości zatytułowanej The Recluse, obejmującej również utwór Preludium. The Excursion ukazał się w 1814. Utwór został napisany wierszem białym (blank verse), czyli nierymowanym pentametrem jambicznym. 'Twas summer, and the sun had mounted high:Southward the landscape indistinctly glaredThrough a pale steam; but all the northern downs,In clearest air ascending, showed far offA surface dappled o'er with shadows flungFrom brooding clouds; shadows that lay in spotsDetermined and unmoved, with steady beamsOf bright and pleasant sunshine interposed;To him most pleasant who on soft cool mossExtends his careless limbs along the frontOf some huge cave, whose rocky ceiling castsA twilight of its own, an ample shade,Where the wren warbles, while the dreaming man,Half conscious of the soothing melody,With side-long eye looks out upon the scene,By power of that impending covert, thrownTo finer distance.William Wordsworth, The Excursion
