I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud - for Yr 8 English

Here is the information that we were discussing in class relating to William Wordsworth's poem.  This will be helpful when you are writing the 'Craftsmanship' paragraph for your analysis.

Structure - 4 stanzas of 6 lines each

Language - traditional old English as it was written in the early 1800s

Imagery - extensive use of personification and the title itself is a simile

Movement - the rhythm is flowing in a calm and steady manner

Sounds - No real use of alliteration or assonance.  Very deliberate use of rhyme with a ababcc pattern

Have fun writing your analysis.
