"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is an 1804 poem by William Wordsworth. It was inspired by an April 15, 1802 event in which Wordsworth and his sister, Dorothy came across a "long belt" of daffodils. It was first published in 1807, and a revised version was released in 1815. In anthologies the poem is sometimes titled "The Daffodils".

Summary

In this poem, the poet recounts his tale of chancing upon a long belt of daffodils. He is struck speechless by their sheer number and beauty. He says that they seem to be as numerous as the stars that shine in the sky. He also remarks on the beauty of the waves dancing next to them, though they are overshadowed by the daffodils.

The effect that the daffodils had on the poet is similar to the effect of the maiden's song in "The Solitary Reaper" (another Wordswoth poem). Both are etched into his memory and soul to cherish forever.

Wordsworth, William


1770—1850, English poet, b. Cockermouth, Cumberland. One of the great English poets, he was a leader of the romantic movement in England.

perhaps he was just feeling down and alone in the world.

He was celebrating the beauty of nature - which was a fairly new idea in artistic works up to that time.
