I am not sure if I agree that WW portrays nature as healing. In other poems he describes pathos and cruelty in the natural scene but all in the order of things. I don't think the nature he refers to is what we generally think of as nature; it is almost as if the natural scene is just a means of page and what he means by nature is a preternatural knowing or 'reason'.
And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
A motion and a spirit that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.
