Wordsworth poem home

-

A MANUSCRIPT of William Wordsworth’s most famous poem has returned home to the Lake District.

The handwritte­n copy of I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud has gone on display at his former home of Dove Cottage in Grasmere.

More commonly known as Daffodils, the poem was inspired by a sight he encountere­d while walking around Ullswater with his sister Dorothy. It was first published in 1807.

The manuscript is on a three-month loan from the British Library under its Treasures on Tour scheme.
