Towards the end of Tintern Abbey, Wordsworth directly addresses his sister, Dorothy Wordsworth, expressing his deep love and concern for her future. He wishes that she will find the same solace and wisdom in nature that he has discovered over time. He believes that nature provides spiritual and emotional support during difficult times. This is evident in the following lines:
"Nor, perchance—
If I should be where I no more can hear
Thy voice, nor catch from thy wild eyes these gleams
Of past existence—wilt thou then forget
That on the banks of this delightful stream
We stood together."
Here, Wordsworth expresses his hope that Dorothy will recall their shared experience at Tintern Abbey and draw strength from nature when she faces challenges in life.
