What is the significance of the poem, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"?

The charm or attraction of this poem for me is its simplicity. One need not dig deep into meaning between the lines to understand or enjoy the problem. It is a description of a natural scene that the poet may have actually seen or he has just imagined.


The way this scene is described, the poem creates an atmosphere of vibrancy and joy. For example, expressions like:



Tossing their heads in sprightly dance,



or



They out did the sparkling waves in glee.



And the final line,



They flash upon the inward eye, which is the bliss of solitude,



serves the purpose of imprinting the scene on minds of readers also forever.
