How does Wordsworth present nature in Tintern Abbey and one other poem?

Wordsworth uses nature in his poem as a form of solace from the 'weary weight' of humanity, with a heavy presence of the sublime (often used in romantic poetry) such as the 'lofty cliffs' and the inland 'murmurs'.
I would opt to compare this with another Wordsworth poem - 'Lines Written in Early Spring' which again has clear pastoral imagery and provides contrast between nature and man.
