- William Wordsworth was born on 7th April, 1770, at Cockermouth in Cumberland,
- England.
- He grew up in the beautiful Lake District that was later to provide inspiration
- for much of his poetry and philosophy.
- His best known poem is probably "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud:"
- 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
- On 23rd April, 1850, at the age of 80, William died.
