1. THE DAFFODILS
The lyric poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”
also known as ‘Daffodils’ was written by William
Wordsworth. It is one of his best lyric poems in
modern times. In the poem Daffodils, William
Wordsworth reports a scene which he got an
opportunity to have a look at valley that was full of
huge number of daffodils. This lyric poem consists
of four stanzas; each stanza consists of six lines.
Each line of the poem is metered in an iambic
tetrameter. The rhyme scheme “ABABCC” is
followed in the poem. As he loved nature so the
main theme of the poem is also the beauty of
nature. The use of figurative language made it
much appealing to the readers. The poem is
subjective because it expresses the feelings of the
poet himself; one of the key characteristics of
Romanticism.
