I wandered lonely as a cloud Writer: William Wordsworth
Genre(体裁):lyric
Tone: depression and disconsolateness at the very beginning. But as he catches sight of daffodils stretching as far as the eyes can see and finds himself in the midst of nature, his loneliness turns into relaxation and joy. Thus the shift of the poet’s mood from sadness to happiness manifests the theme --- the great influence of nature upon human being.
Rhyme: He employs masculine rhyme in “a, b, a, b, c, c” pattern to receive emphasis as a musical effect. (e.g. “cloud” (a), “hills” (b), “crowd” (a), “daffodils” (b), “trees”
(c), “breeze” (c) i n stanza 1. He arranges his poem in lines of iambic tetrameter in the main with alternation of iambic trimeter.
Rhetorical devices(修辞手法): He also achieves musical quality by the management of alliteration(头韵)(e.g. “That floats on high o’er vales and hills” in line 2 and “Beside the lake, beneath the trees” in line 5) and assonance(类韵)(e.g. “beneath the trees in line 5” and “ They stretched in never-ending line” in line 9) and
consonance(一致)(e.g. “ vales and hills” in line 2 ). Besides the repetition of sounds, the poet also makes his poem a strong appeal for us in language that is rhythmical.
