    "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth takes readers on a reminiscent journey reflecting upon visions of nature.  The diction and figurative language used illustrates the poet’s response to nature.  He uses each stanza to share his experience in nature through the image of a dance that culminates in the poet’s emotional response.
