These three romantic poems of “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,” “She Walks in Beauty,” and ” Ode to the West Wind” are connected to William Wordsworth’s ideas about poetry by presenting everyday situations in extraordinary and intriguing ways. William Wordsworth believes romantic poems should have an emotional and passionate experience. These affectionate poems should express universal feelings but should not be any restriction in expressing these sensibilities. William Wordsworth defines poetry as the spontaneous overflow of the powerful feelings. The incidents of our rustic lives that holds simplicity, the ordinary objects around us and the typical feelings of human beings such as our misery and merriment should get a ready appeal in poetry without fallacious description.

In his poem, “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,” the speaker encounters a field of daffodils that he described as “jocund company.” Later, as the speaker contemplates on seeing the joyous and jubilant daffodils, he says the memory gives him great pleasure. As a result, the speaker discerns the memory of the flowers provides a more compelling and impassioned experience than the experience itself did.

Wordsworth’s belief that poetry should include everyday language is reflected in Lord Byron’s poem “She walks in beauty,” which relies heavily on common language to describe the woman. The lady is not effortlessly described as vivid or radiant, instead she is described as dark because as she is walking in a dark beauty, she is her vibrant self. Lord Byron presents an ordinary situation in an unusual way in his poem “She walks in beauty” when he describes a beautiful woman wearing a black dress by writing, “all that’s best of dark and bright / Meet in her aspect and her eyes.” At the end of the poem, the woman is described as having “a mind at peace with all below” and “a heart whose love is innocent.” Through the use of typical words and phrases such as these, Byron flourishes in using everyday language to describe the woman’s loveliness.
