2. Introduction (about the poem):
• The inspiration for the poem came from a walk he
took with his sister Dorothy around Glencoyne
Bay, Ullswater, in the Lake District on April
15, 1802, came across a "long belt" of daffodils.
• Written in 1804, it was first published in 1807 in Poems in
Two Volumes, and a revised version, the more commonly
known, was released in 1815.
• It consists of four six-line stanzas, in iambic tetrameter
and an ABABCC rhyme scheme.
• Well known, and often anthologised, "I Wandered Lonely
as a Cloud" is commonly seen as a classic
of English romanticism within poetry.
