Summary of the poem “Daffodils” by William Wordsworth



About the Poet:
William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was a reputed English Romantic poet, well known for his Lyrical Ballads, The Prelude, Tintern Abbey and Daffodils. He wrote over 387 poems and 523 sonnets.  Wordsworth is regarded as “a poet of the outdoors” as his masterpieces are the reflection of the magnificent beauty of the Lake District.


Summary:
“I wandered lonely as a cloud” additionally acknowledged as "Daffodils" is observed as one of the most splendid examples in English poetry. This poem explores the connection between humanity and nature.
The poet, in the very beginning of the poem relates himself with a wandering cloud in the sky that floats high over the valleys and hills of the Lake District in England. Suddenly, he came across a cluster of the host of golden daffodils. They were waving in the breeze, everywhere, beside the lake and beneath the trees. That scene left an everlasting impression on the poet’s mind.
The poet compares the daffodils with the shining and blinking stars in the sky and notices how the daffodils appear to go on in an endless line, along a bay. The poet could only see about ten thousand flowers that were twirling their heads in a lively dance. 
The daffodils surpassed the gleaming and dancing waves on the bay in hilarity. A poet couldn’t resist being joyful in such a happy company of daffodils. The poet continued to glare at the daffodils without acknowledging the long-lasting impact of flowers on his mind.
The poet states that whenever he lies on his couch, either thoughtful or absent-minded, the daffodils, as a gift of solitude appear on his imaginative memory, filling his heart with merriment as his mind dances with the daffodils.
