    The Romantic Poet
    WILLIAM WORDSWORTH (7 APRIL 1770 - 23 APRIL 1850)

    William Wordsworth was born on April 7, 1770 in Cockermouth,


    Cumberland, located in the Lake District of England. This area was
    closely associated with William Wordsworth for over 200 years after
    his death.
    He began writing poetry while in grammar school. Before graduating
    his college, he went on a walking tour of Europe which deepened his
    love for nature and his sympathy for the common man, both of
    which are major themes in his poetry.
    Wordsworth is best known for Lyrical Ballads, co-written with Samuel
    Taylor Coleridge, and The Prelude, a Romantic epic poem chronicling
    the "growth of a poet's mind".
    The song's point : Loss

    Memories

    Song about memories that have


    long gone and could never be
    retrieved again.

    As stated in stanza 1, line 6,

    "And sings a melancholy strain;"


    The song's point : Loss

    Close friends

    Losing close friends after


    being seperated from each other.

    stanza 3, line 6,:"familiar matter of to-day?"

    stanza 2, line 8,"Among the farthest Hebrides."


    The song's point : Loss

    Loved ones

    Losing loved ones to wars


    that destroy.

    As stated in stanza 3, line 4,

    "and battles long ago:"


    The song's point : Loss

    Time for oneself

    Financial hardships leave the maiden no time


    to spare for herself in order to make
    the ends meet.
    Singing is her outlet to let off the steam that has pent up
    in her body due to the laborious work.
    The significance purpose that was emphasised

    Music transcends the barrier


    of languages

    Music is not restricted to one language.

    In stanza 3, line 1 :

    "Will no one tells me what she sings-"


    The significance purpose that was emphasised

    The tone and mood that was conveyed by the maiden.

    Wordsworth devoted the entire stanza 2 to depict what her


    singing sounds like.
    "No Nightingale did ever chaunt
    More welcome notes to weary bands
    Of travellers in some shady haunt,
    [ A Nightingale ]

    Among Arabian sands:


    A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
    In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird,
    Breaking the silence of the seas
    Among the farthest Hebrides."

    The significance purpose that was emphasised

    The mood the maiden had created was depicted in the verse
    below :

    "Will no one tell me what she sings?—


    Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
    For old, unhappy, far-off things,
    And battles long ago:
    Or is it some more humble lay,
    Familiar matter of to-day?
    Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,
    That has been, and may be again?"
    Thank you!
