"I Roam Alone, Like a Cloud" was written in 1804, which originated from the experience that the poet and his sister Dorothy were deeply attracted by the charm of nature when they went out to play, and embodied the poet's poetic proposition that poetry should describe "the feelings recalled in peace". I. Rhythm From the prosodic point of view, the whole poem is divided into four sections. There are six lines in a poem, and each line has four steps, most of which are iambic, so Wordsworth basically wrote the poem in iambic four steps. In this poem, rhyme also follows certain rules: the first line rhymes with the third line, the second line rhymes with the fourth line, and the last two lines rhyme, that is, rhyme follows the law of ABBCC. The rhyme of ABBCC makes this poem have a strong sense of rhythm, and it is fluent and catchy to recite. Generally speaking, the rhythm of this poem is very distinct, but not every line adopts the same rhythm. For example, the sixth line of the first sentence: dancing in the breeze. This poem has only three accents and is symmetrical from beginning to end. A three-tone step suddenly appeared in the neat four-tone part, just like a poet floating slowly in the sky like a cloud. Suddenly, daffodils entered his field of vision and broke his slow rhythm. I. The sixth line of the second quarter: tossing their heads in a shining dance. This poem suddenly changed from an iambic poem in the last poem to an iambic poem, which highlighted the action of the verb "tossing" and vividly described the posture of daffodils swaying in the wind. It is precisely because of these changes in rhythm that the expressive force of the poem is strengthened, which makes the poem more vivid and describes the daffodil image vividly on the paper. Second, discourse cohesion According to the theories of linguists Halliday and Hassan, there are five means of discourse cohesion: reference, connection, ellipsis, substitution and lexical cohesion. [2] Cohesion is the most common cohesive device in discourse. In this poem, the author uses conjunctions in many places, such as: continuity is like a shining star on the milk road. Here, the author compares the daffodils to the stars in the sky, and uses "harmony" to express the twinkling state of the stars in the next poem, which leads the reader's thoughts from the daffodils on the ground to the stars in the sky and expands the reader's thinking space. Lexical cohesion is the most commonly used cohesive device in this poem. Lexical cohesion can be divided into the following two categories: repetition and collocation. The first is the repetition of the word daffodil. The word "daffodil" first appeared in the fourth line of the first poem, and then appeared at the end of the poem, which runs through the whole text and echoes from beginning to end, highlighting the theme of the poem. Secondly, the word "I" appeared five times, and "I" and "mine" appeared three times. The author compares himself to a flowing cloud and appreciates the charm of daffodils from the perspective of flowing clouds. In this paper, the first person is used many times, which brings readers into the perspective of flowing water and makes readers feel the swaying of daffodils more truly. In addition, the word "dance" appears four times in the whole poem, and each section is a word:
Section 1: Dancing in the breeze. Section 2: Shake their heads in a cheerful dance. The third quarter: the waves around them are dancing, but they are dancing with daffodils in the fourth quarter. "Dance" is a very important image in the text. The repetition of "dance" in the whole poem links the dance of daffodils with the poet's happy mood. When the daffodils dance, the poet's heart also follows the "dance", which runs through the whole poem and is lifelike. There is also an obvious lexical repetition in this poem, that is, in the third section, the poet repeats the same verb: I-gaze-gaze-but seldom thinks about it. Two closely connected "gazes" express the author's indescribable joy. In addition to repeating the original words, this poem has many synonyms. For example, suddenly, I saw a large group of golden daffodils; The flexible use of the synonyms of crowd and master not only avoids the rigidity of poetic language form, but also makes language cohesion more flexible. The semantic use of these synonyms highlights the lush daffodils. Thirdly, the content and ideas of the poem "I roam alone, like a flowing cloud" are integrated with the scene, and the poet's feelings are closely linked with narcissus. This poem has four verses. The first section depicts a floating cloud floating alone in the sky. Suddenly, a big daffodil came into view. The second section focuses on narcissus, compares narcissus to the stars in the sky, and depicts the continuous scene of narcissus clusters, vividly depicting the graceful posture of narcissus dancing in the wind. The third verse connects the poet and the narcissus, and the narcissus "dances" happily, and the poet's melancholy clouds gradually dissipate. In the third section, the poet points out that he never thought that what he saw at the moment would affect his future mood. In the fourth verse, the poet wrote that he understood "the treasure of my soul given by this spirit". Whenever the poet is bored and empty, as long as he thinks of this daffodil, his heart can be comforted. This poem fully embodies Wordsworth's romantic view of nature: nature and humanity are integrated, and only by returning to nature can we purify our emotions, achieve harmony and embody the essence of life. The closeness to nature symbolizes the poet's denial and disgust of urban life. The poet closely linked his mood with narcissus, suggesting that natural scenery such as narcissus and human beings have similar spirit and personality, and then revealed that the whole nature and human beings are the theme of * * *. Wordsworth's song
Wordsworth is an outstanding romantic poet in English history. This song "I Roam Alone, Like Flowing Water" is one of his masterpieces. This paper appreciates this poem from three aspects: rhythm, discourse structure and ideological content. The whole poem follows the iambic four-step rhythm, but it does not completely follow this law. The poet's occasionally changing rhythm makes the focus of this poem more prominent. Although this poem is short and pithy, and its language form is unique, through the text analysis of this poem, we can find that the whole poem is compact in structure and coherent in meaning. In this 24-line poem, the poet expresses his love for nature by praising and eulogizing daffodils, and advocates that people should seek spiritual comfort in nature.

The original text and appreciation of Wordsworth's classic poem "I wander alone, like a cloud"
I wander alone, like a cloud.
I wander alone, like a cloud.
Floating on hills and valleys,
Page 1
Suddenly I saw a group of people.
Golden daffodils bloom in spring,
In the shade, by the lake,
Dance in the breeze.
Continuous, like bright stars,
Shining in the milky way,
They walked along the edge of the lake bay
Extend into an endless line;
I saw 10 thousand flowers at a glance,
The ups and downs in dance.
The sparkling waves are dancing,

The joy of daffodils is better than water waves;
With such a happy partner,
How can a poet be dissatisfied with his happiness!
I stared at it for a long time, but I just couldn't imagine it.
How much wealth this miracle has given me-
Every time I lie awake in bed,
Either my mind is empty, or I meditate silently,
They often flash in my mind,
That is the happiness in loneliness;
So my heart is full of happiness,
Dance with daffodils
