"Lines Written in Early Spring‚" by William Wordsworth‚ sets the tone within the title. The thought of early spring brings new life and harmony to the mind of the reader.

NUTTING by Willam Wordsworth In many ways the presentation of nature in the poem Nutting seems very different to the way Wordsworth portrays. it in his other poems.It is of course a so called ’Poem of Becoming’ focusing primarily on the poet himself‚ looking at how Wordsworth’s experiences of nature and the external world help him to explore his own mind‚ physically looking outwards but by doing so being introspective in learning about himself.

Group One: " I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth 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.
