Explanation:
There are several well-known characteristics when it comes to Romantic poetry. Such poems often express passionate feelings and focus on nature, on idyllic settings. Among those characteristics is the fact that Romantic poetry tends to use everyday language as a way of relating to the experience of people. In other words, ordinary language is a means for the poet to connect with other men and women through his art. This is precisely what we have in the poem we are analyzing here. William Wordsworth, the author, made a point of using everyday language. He is considered the father of Romantic poetry.
