	SparkNotes: Wordsworth's Poetry: "Tintern Abbey"
		The subject of "Tintern Abbey" is memory--specifically, childhood memories of communion with natural beauty.
		"Tintern Abbey" is a monologue, imaginatively spoken by a single speaker to himself, referencing the specific objects of its imaginary scene, and occasionally addressing others--once the spirit of nature, occasionally the speaker's sister.
		The poem also has a subtle strain of religious sentiment; though the actual form of the Abbey does not appear in the poem, the idea of the abbey--of a place consecrated to the spirit--suffuses the scene, as though the forest and the fields were themselves the speaker's abbey.

		The abbey is not in the poem because Wordsworth is nowhere near the abbey, not because he is overlooking the abbey either visually or metaphorically.

	Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey
		“Tintern Abbey,” universally considered one of Wordsworth’s greatest poems, was written in 1798 to be included in Lyrical Ballads, a volume of poetry co-authored by Wordsworth and Coleridge while they were living in the southwestern part of England.
		The abandoned abbey at Tintern, although some scholars have tried to make it a central figure in the poem, is really on mentioned as a geographic locator, and has little bearing on the poem itself.
		In these opening lines, the 28 year old Wordsworth is telling us that he is returning to this powerful scene after a five year absence, and much of the poem is a self-reflection on the personal, intellectual, and spiritual transformation he has made in the intervening years.
