One sonnet addressed to this individual describes him as a "lone star whose light did shine / On some frail bark in winter's midnight roar."  That sonnet, which refers to him as a "Poet of Nature," was written by Percy Bysshe Shelley, while this man's own sonnets include one which begins "From low to high doth dissolution climb" and another which instructs the reader to "scorn not the sonnet."  More famously, in other sonnets he declared himself "surprised by joy" and lamented that the "world is too much with us."  FTP, name this English Romantic who also wrote The Prelude and "Tintern Abbey."
