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.Ĭontinuous 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. Here is “I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud” by William Wordsworth. In that stanza the beautiful imagery is written to memory, and the poem itself becomes a way to hold onto a profound experience. The poem’s final stanza is, in many ways, the most interesting to me. The poem has an expansive, enormous canvas, first with Wordsworth giving sense of imagery as viewed from above (as if from the viewpoint of a cloud), and then with him cleverly using the galaxy as a metaphor for the scope of a wild flower field. The rhythm and language so elegantly capture the sense of peace and solitude one gets in nature. “I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud” made no immediate impact upon publication, but over the decades it has become Wordsworth’s most famous poem. The poem is simple and orderly, harkening to classical forms, and written in iambic tetrameter (each line has four iambs, read it aloud and count the rhythmic patterns in each line: “bah-Dah bah-Dah bah-Dah bah-Dah) The poem was first published in 1807 in the collection “Poems in Two Volumes,” and a revised version was published in 1815. Wordsworth wrote this poem to capture the feeling that came over him in that moment. He and his sister were walking in the English countryside and came across a stunning belt of daffodils. Published in 1807, he was inspired by a walk he and his sister Dorothy took in which they discovered 'a long belt' of daffodils.
