that the word ’I’ and no other pronouns apart from ’they’ to describe the daffodils is used in the poem suggests that the first person is on their own- there is no-one else with them. Just this simple pronoun announces the theme of loneliness in William Wordsworth’s poem. The very first sentence also introduces the theme of loneliness: ’I wandered lonely as a cloud.’ Here this simile reminds us of how empty a sky is‚ and therefore how empty the person is. There is a part of them that is not fulfilled-

I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen Guarded by an Angel mild: Witless woe was ne’er beguiled! And I wept both night and day‚ And he wiped my tears away; And I wept both day and night‚ And hid from him my heart’s delight. So he took his wings‚ and fled; Then the morn blushed rosy red. I dried my tears‚ and armed my fears With ten-thousand shields and spears. Soon my Angel came again; I was armed‚ he came in vain; For the time of youth was fled‚ And

No habitation can be seen; but they Who journey thither find themselves alone With a few sheep‚ with

Shakespeare employs the traditional rhyme scheme of the English sonnet‚ the poem is made up of three quatrains and a rhyming couplet‚ and iambic pentameter is the predominant meter. However‚ it would be an error to approach this poem as a traditional Shakespearean love sonnet. It is a ‘love’ poem
