Describe The Poem "Daffodils" By Wordsworth?

Answer Question

7 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The poet says that once he was enjoying and idle wandering. He was moving like a cloud which sails freely in the air over mountains and valleys. All of a sudden, he caught sight of a vast field of golden daffodils. They were growing along the bank of a lake, under shady groves of trees. They were waving their heads in the cool breeze. They were spread in unending lines like the countless stars in the galaxy.

    Daffodils were dancing merrily in the fresh and fragrant morning breeze. He was so much lost in joy that he could not know what a great wealth of thought and feeling had been given to him by the scene for the years to come. That scene is no more now. But the memory of that scene keeps him happy even today in the sad and lonely hours of his life. Whenever he remembers that scene his heart is filled with pleasure and starts dancing imaginatively with the daffodils.

    This is one of the most famous poems of Wordsworth. He wrote this poem in the early phase of his poetry. Those days, he used to have long idle wandering in fields and forests, mountains and valleys, in search of natural beauty. The poem reflects his deep love for Nature.

      Wadsworth's simple poem erroneously usually called "Daffodils," "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," is one of the best-loved Romantic poets' paeans to the loveliness and evocative, healing power of nature.

      The solitary speaker is presumably roaming over the hills of the Lake District, where Wadsworth lived. He is startled by the sudden appearance of a crowd, a vision of "a host of golden daffodils" bobbing in the breeze of a lake shore.The waves cannot compete with the gleefully dancing flowers. The speaker muses that, likewise, nothing a poet could ever write could outdo the simple beauty and vitality of the daffodils.

      Wadsworth then realizes the true value of the vision of the dancing flowers: the memory of them will from now on inspire him: "For oft, when on my couch I lie/In vacant or in pensive mood,/They flash upon that inward eye [memory]/Which is the bliss of solitude;/and then my heart with pleasure fills."On a personal note, this was one of my late father's favourite poems, and is one of the first ones I memorized, more than 40 years ago.

      Just a simple spelling error, Wordsworth instead of Wadsworth.

        The poet describes in the poem that as one day he was moving and all of a sudden he saw a host of yellow daffodils. As he looked on them dancing and tossing their heads in the breeze.
        Then he told that in such a happy moment a poet cannot control his happiness. In this poem he has described his happiness after seeing daffodils and how he thought of writing this poem.

          "for oft 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"

          this small extract reveals about the real happiness of being alone.  As wordswoth is a poet of nature, he despised the life of city and preferred rustic life.  Rustic life is full of inner satisfaction and bring along a sense of oneness with nature whereas the life of city is full of worries.  Thus wordsworth stated in one of his poem. 'what is this life if full of care that i hav no time to stand and stare'. The above quoted line refers one of the theories of wordsworth which is 'emotions recollected in tranquility'.

          I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high over valleys 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.
