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.
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.

| William Wordsworth wrote this poem. He lived in a 17th century inn called Dove Cottage from 1799 until 1808. He wrote lots of his poems about the landscape here. His house is a museum now. You can walk around and see what it was like to live there then. |
Barnaby Bear thought he would try to write some of his own poems, using the lakeland scenery for ideas. Click the type of poem you want to read. Click the dictionary for a definition of that type of poem.

Barnaby Bear got his ideas and inspiration for his poems from Grasmere, like Wordsworth. This photograph shows one of his favourite spots in the Lake District, by Grasmere lake.
| This family of Ducks were living on Grasmere. What do you think the mother duck is saying? The lake is home to lots of different animals, fish and insects. Can you write a poem about something on the lake, like Barnaby? |
