WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

Born: April 7, 1770

Died: April 23, 1850

William Wordsworth was an English Romantic poet

who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch
the Romantic Age in English literature with their joint
publication Lyrical Ballads (1798).
Wordsworth's magnum opus is generally considered to
be The Prelude, a semi-autobiographical poem of his
early years that he revised and expanded a number of
times. It was posthumously titled and published by his
wife in the year of his death, before which it was generally
known as "the poem to Coleridge".
Wordsworth was Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death
from pleurisy on 23 April 1850.

“I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is one of the most

famous and best-loved poems written in the English
language. It was composed by Romantic poet William
Wordsworth around 1804, though he subsequently revised it—the final and most familiar version of
the poem was published in 1815. The poem is based on one of Wordsworth's own walks in the
countryside of England's Lake District. During this walk, he and his sister encountered a long strip of
daffodils. In the poem, these daffodils have a long-lasting effect on the speaker, firstly in the
immediate impression they make and secondly in the way that the image of them comes back to the
speaker's mind later on. "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is a quintessentially Romantic poem,
bringing together key ideas about imagination, humanity and the natural world.

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

By: William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and
hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward
eye Which is the bliss of
solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
