Poem




                                      " Daffodils "



Wordsworth is widely known as 'Nature poet". He was one of the representatives of Romantic period. They believed in subjectivity. Nature was at the center in every piece of work. Literary artist should be free in his expression of feelings and emotions. they were completely opposite to 'Classic writers', who believed in rules and regulation.  Wordsworth was of the opinion that;


" Let's throw everything and let's go to the Nature, nature will teach you everything"


One can find Nature as central element in Wordsworth poems and 'Daffodils' is also not an exception. He starts his poem by saying that he was wandering as a cloud floating above high hills and valleys. He discovered a field of daffodils by a lake. he was quite amused by the beauty of flowers and stares at it again and again. the wealth which Daffodils have given to him is priceless. he compared it with human being and said that Daffodils are dancing, fluttering and tossing their head as man. This is the great ability of poet to compare man with nature. 

For now, whenever he feels "vacant" or "pensive" the memory flashes upon "that inward eye / that is the bliss of solitude," and his heart fills with pleasure," and dances with the daffodils."


The poem follows 'ABABCC' rhyme scheme. First two stanzas are written into present tense while last stanzaa is written into past tense. I think that this poem is wonderful as it lets people love the nature and understand its real beauty, more nicely.In the last part of the poem, the readers learn the importance of nature and also know about the feelings of the poet.
