Wordsworth made use of the description in his sister's diary, as well as of his memory of the daffodils in Gowbarrow Park, by Ullswater. Cf.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

William Wordsworth (7 April 1770 – 23 April 1850) was a major English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped launch the Romantic Age in English literature with their 1798 joint publication, Lyrical Ballads.

Wordsworth's masterpiece is generally considered to be The Prelude, a semi autobiographical poem of his early years which the poet revised and expanded a number of times. The work was posthumously titled and published, prior to which it was generally known as the poem "to Coleridge". Wordsworth was England's Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death in 1850.

The waves beside them d ances, but they Out did the sparkl ing waves in glee: A Poet could not but be ga y In such a jocund company! I gazed—and gazed— but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought:

As one of "Lake Poets", William Wordsworth was born and grew up in the Lake District, the beautiful area of mountains, lakes, and streams near the Scottish border in northwest England.
Continuous as the stars that sh ine, And wrinkle on the milky way, They stretched in neverlanding line, Along the margin of a bay, Ten thousand saw at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
William Wordsworth-- Daffodils

I wondered lonely as a cloud, That floats on high over 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.

For oft,when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

Although often viewed as a 'nature poet' (and a poet of nature) his poetry is not simply concerned with scenic and descriptive evocations of nature, but rather with the issues of Man, Human Nature and Man's relationship with the natural (and supernatural) world.

Germany and move to the Lake District Wordsworth, Dorothy, and Coleridge then travelled to Germany in the autumn of 1798. While Coleridge was intellectually stimulated by the trip, its main effect on Wordsworth was to produce homesickness.[4] During the harsh winter of 1798–1799, Wordsworth lived with Dorothy in Goslar, and despite extreme stress and loneliness, he began work on an autobiographical piece later titled The Prelude. He also wrote a number of famous poems, including "the Lucy poems". He and his sister moved back to England, now to Dove Cottage in Grasmere in the Lake District, and this time with fellow poet Robert Southey nearby. Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey came to be known as the "Lake Poets".[5] Through this period, many of his poems revolve around themes of death, endurance, separation, and grief.
'They flash upon that inward eye... ':
Wordsworth said that these were the two best lines in the poem and that they were composed by his wife.

To me, the poem serves as a reminder that our happiness is best served if we live our lives as poets and notice the simple beauty that nature gives us daily. Where ordinary people see

William Wordsworth was the central figure in the English Romantic revolution in poetry. His contribution to it was threefold. First, he formulated in his poems and his essays a new attitude toward nature. This was more than a matter of introducing nature imagery into his verse; it amounted to a fresh view of the organic relation between man and the natural world, and it culminated in metaphors of a wedding between nature and the human mind, and beyond that, in the sweeping metaphor of nature as emblematic of the mind of God, a mind that "feeds upon infinity" and "broods over the dark abyss." Second, Wordsworth probed deeply into his own sensibility as he traced, in his finest poem, The Prelude, the "growth of a poet's mind." The Prelude was in fact the first long autobiographical poem. Writing it in a drawn-out process of self-exploration, Wordsworth worked his way toward a modern psychological understanding of his own nature, and thus more broadly of human nature. Third, Wordsworth placed poetry at the centre of human experience; in impassioned rhetoric he pronounced poetry to be nothing less than "the first and last of all knowledge--it is as immortal as the heart of man," and he then went on to create some of the greatest English poetry of his century. It is probably safe to say that by the late 20th century he stood in critical estimation where Coleridge and Arnold had originally placed him, next to John Milton--who stands, of course, next to William Shakespeare.
