I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

William Wordsworth

What is the poem all about?

The poem focuses on

the poet's deep emotion to the beauty of nature.

The speaker is

assuming as a cloud floating and happens to see some daffodils and they stretch all along the shore.

I wandered lonely Stanza I as a cloud, 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.

What does the first stanza mean?

Stanza II
Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in neverending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

What does the second stanza mean?

Stanza III
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:

What does the third stanza mean?

Stanza IV
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.

What does the fourth stanza mean?

What theme does the poem contain?
