Answer :

In the poem 'We Are Seven' by William Wordsworth, the little cottage girl says "we are seven" to say that they are seven siblings or seven brothers and sisters from the same parents.

She says so in response to the speaker's question. The speaker had asked her how many sisters and brothers they were.

The answer can be found in the following lines :

'“Sisters and brothers, little Maid,  

How many may you be?”  

“How many? Seven in all,” she said,  

And wondering looked at me.'
