I wandered lonely as a cloud- William Wordsworth

The poem starts out with the poet describing himself as lonely, like a cloud. He is floating over the earth. He is even distant from nature. He then sees a field of daffodils. They are dancing. The poet is personifying nature giving it human qualities. The daffodils went on forever he said. He watched them for awhile but did not really think about how much joy and pleasure the experience brought him. When he goes home though, he remembers seeing the daffodils, and he becomes happy once again, dancing with the daffodils not being lonely. This poem I believe means that people do not always enjoy nature when they are in it. They take it for granted, but when they aren't in it anymore, they realize how happy and joyous it made them feel. It also shows how nature can uplift a person. If someone goes out in nature and appreciates it, then they will become happier and maybe less lonely. The daffodils also symbolize the richness of life. They are able to dance around and be happy embracing life and living it. I believe the poet wanted to convey this message to the reader in order for them to go out and appreciate nature and their life and live it to the best of their ability like the daffodils.
