Romanticism, a literary school in which pantheism and nature are key concerns, expresses that there is a divine “presence” in all creatures and as a result nature is regarded as a purification source. The present paper made an attempt to explore common grounds between William Wordsworth, the great English poet, and Sohrab Sepehri the eminent Iranian poet by examining "Strange Fits of Passion Have I known" and "Reward". The study demonstrated that the two poems under discussion share many romantic principles such as praising nature, individuality and feelings.

Keywords: Romanticism, romantic features, nature, individuality, pantheism
