COMMENTARY 1-SUMMARY

In the first stanza, the speaker describes a time when he meandered over the valleys and

hills, “lonely as a cloud.” Finally, he came across a crowd of daffodils stretching out over

almost everything he could see, “fluttering and dancing in the breeze”:

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o’er vales and hills,

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.

In the second stanza, the speaker goes into more detail about the daffodils. They

reminded him of the Milky Way, because there were so many flowers packed together

that they seemed to be never ending. The speaker guesses that there were ten thousand

daffodils, which were “Tossing their heads in sprightly dance”:

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

In the third stanza, the speaker compares the waves of the lake to the waves of daffodils

and decides that even though the lake is “sparkling,” the daffodils win because they have

more “glee.” He then comments that he, like any other poet, could not help but be happy.

COMMENTARY2-SUMMARY

“in such a jocund company.” He looked at the scene for a long time, but while he was

there he was unable to understand what he had gained from the experience:

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:

In the fourth and final stanza, the poet describes what he gained from the experience.

Afterwards, when he was lonely or feeling “pensive,” he could remember the daffodils,

seeing them with his “inward eye,” and be content:

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..

COMMENTARY2-ANALYSIS .

“I wandered lonely as a cloud” takes place in the Lake District of Northern England.

The area is famous for its hundreds of lakes, gorgeous expanses of springtime daffodils,

and for being home to the “Lakeland Poets”: William Wordsworth, Samuel Coleridge,

and Robert Southey.

In the poem Daffodils, the poet William Wordsworth says "I gazed and gazed but little thought what wealth the show to me had brought" because the poet was mesmerised and enchanted by the sight of the vibrant, golden daffodils stretched beside the lake, beneath the trees.
