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.
