A night thought by william wordsworth?

Wordsworth once overheard a poet interpreting one of his poems, injecting metaphors, and other elaborate symbolism. Wordsworth stood up, walked over to their table and said "would you please stop putting words in my poems mouth. "A Night Thought" is Wordsworth proclaiming he prefers the calm distant beauty of the moon and being able to admire it's dependable path, even when hidden from view, to the turmoil and upheaval man has created for himself here on earth. He is envious of the moon's peace.
