Poem: "I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud"~William Wordsworth ~ Read by Siân Phillips #bluedotmusic

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" (also commonly known as "Daffodils" is a lyric poem by William Wordsworth. Read by Siân Phillips, The background music 'Spring' Composed and Performed by Oliver Wakeman. The poem was inspired by an event on 15 April 1802, in which Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy came across a "long belt" of daffodils. Written some time between 1804 and 1807 (in 1804 by Wordsworth's own account), it was first published in 1807 in Poems in Two Volumes, and a revised version was published in 1815. It is written in six-line stanzas with an ababcc rhyme scheme, like the Venus and Adonis stanza of Shakespeare, except in tetrameters rather than pentameters.
It is generally considered Wordsworth's most famous work. In the "Nation's Favourite Poems", a poll carried out by the BBC's Bookworm, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" came fifth. Often anthologised, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is commonly seen as a classic of English romantic poetry, although Poems in Two Volumes was poorly reviewed by Wordsworth's contemporaries.
