William Wordsworth, 1770-1850

One of England's best loved poets who lived and worked in the Lake District.

Wordsworth's most famous poem about daffodils, composed in 1804.

 

I wandered lonely as a Cloud
That floats on high o'er Vales 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.
