"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.

For my second test I choose the poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth because I like the imagery in it of the dancing daffodils. After reading the poem many times I had realized that most of this imagery is produced by the many metaphors and similes. In the first line‚ Wordsworth says "I wandered lonely as a cloud."

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. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way‚ They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: 10 Ten thousand saw I at a glance‚ Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

After reading "The World Is Too Much With Us” by William Wordsworth there are a multitude of themes that strike me as relevant to our current society.

Our society is so immersed in the materialistic world that we forget to
