Poems on Nature were a rarity in William Wordsworth's time in England. Almost all wrote about Kings, Knights, Heroes and their mighty deeds. A few were called Cockneys who wrote about the life in cities, especially in London. Even Wordsworth was one among them once. But his Solitary Reaper changed things. It was a pure poem of feelings and emotions evolving from man's attachment to the mother earth. There was no chivalry in a solitary reaper standing on a field in a lone mountain valley reaping and singing by her, but by its beauty of images, perfection of presentation and richness in musical content, it pleased people and there was demand for more which the poet promptly satisfied. Whether he liked it or not, he began to be considered the Nature poet. It is true, many of his Nature songs are superb, particularly Resolution and Independence, also titled The Leech-Gatherer.
He produced Nature poems in such abundance that a reader will be lost among them. Not all of them are superior. As a fact, some famous critics have commented that the pathway to his superior poems is obscure due to their being surrounded by forests of inferior poems.
Nature has always been an inspiration to the poets. They have personified the moon as a silvery lady and the greenery as a lady of spring
