that is ‘Daffodils’ by William Wordsworth, & it is one of those poems which r beyond criticism.He is comparing himself to a cloud in the sky, wandering. This is because being up there in the sky like a floating cloud, he is able to see all things going around in the world from an aerial point of view. He is detatched from the world like the lonely floating cloud, and observes the world at a distance. He is a bit of a loner in my opinion in the beginning of the poem.As soon as he sees the crowd of “sprightly” daffodils, he is brought to think about the meaning of his life. After seeing the daffodils, he founds out that his heart is filled with pleasure. He feels a lot more relief.
The poet clearly shows appreciation and love for nature. His strong feeling of loneliness fades away gradually when he sees the beautiful and absorbing sceneries e.g. the daffodils. He is deeply impressed by the beauty of nature, he starts to enjoy the “bliss of solitude”, gaining “pleasure” from it, he is also provoked to think about the meaning of the lifestyle he is living in.

In the first and last stanzas, this poem shows why Wordsworth is still considered one of the important poets of the English language, even though poetry has changed considerably since he wrote. In the two middle stanzas, I think he shows why he has never been in the first rank of English poets. In those two middle stanzas, there are lines that are there for no purpose except to fill a line. They strain for logic and natural rhythm and stretch for rhymes. They could be omitted without damaging either the sense or the feeling of the poem. And yet, the first and last stanzas will keep this poem alive for long time.
