St. David's Day, the National Day of Wales: Daffodils – William Wordsworth (An Inspirational Poem)

Jun 20, 2020 | A powerful poem on finding pleasure and comfort in nature.

Read by Victor Vertunni

William Wordsworth was a revered English poet who was, in part, responsible for kick-starting the Romantic movement in English literature.

Inspired after finding a surprising number of daffodils during a countryside walk, Daffodils (or 'I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud') serves as something of a reminder that humanity is a part of nature and not an opposing force.
