I need some ideas of religous concepts in William Wordsworth's works throughout his life?

There is no traditional religious manifestation of idea in Wordsworth's poetry.He often seems spiritual with philosophic  bend of mind .He may be considered as a nature mystic .In his two poems ,-Tintern Abbey and Immortality Ode , we find him in between spirituality and philosophy .


Tin-tern Abbey is the poet's spiritual autobiography .Here he clearly states his feeling of an all pervading spirit , and assures us that he has felt a mystic feeling of a blessed mood in which the burden of mystery no longer remains , and in that state one can see life into things .It is the poet's pantheistic creed .Again Nature to him became the emblem of the Vast Unconscious .It simply proved to him , as a link to be one with the universe .


Once again , Wordsworth follows Henry Vaughan's The Rea teat in the theme of his great poem ,-Immortality Ode .Here he imagines that a child during its infancy remains with its heavenly glory .It retains those glory up to a certain age of childhood .Then the child becomes habituated with the earthly imitations and shades of prision house of conventions make the child forgetful of his prenatal spirituality .Yet , in old age , when we grow wise with the suffering of life , we often have the glimpse of that heavenly glory .For , the mind becomes free from the troubled passion , and hence the immortal sea flahhes in our inward mind .A survey of Wordsworth's poem , enables us to know the poet's  in between axes of spirituality and philosophy .
