William Wordsworth, the famous British poet, was one of the most important poets of the Romantic Movement in English Literature. He was born on 17 April 1770, in the scenic region of north-west England called the Lake District. The beautiful landscape of the region had an enduring influence on Wordworth's imagination, creating in him, a love for nature. This can be seen in most of his poems. Wordsworth lost his mother when he was eight and at the age of thirteen, his father. Of his four siblings, Wordsworth was most attached to his younger sister, Dorothy. Several of his poems are addressed to his beloved sister.

Wordsworth began attending St. John's college, Cambridge in 1787. He often spent his holidays on long walking tours, visiting places famous for the beauty of their landscape. In 1790, he took a nearly three-thousand-mile walking tour of Europe, during which he toured the Alps extensively, and also visited nearby areas of France, Switzerland and Italy. The following year, he graduated from Cambridge without distinction.

In 1843, Wordsworth was made the Poet Laureate of England. A Poet laureate is the official poet of the King of England. By this time, Wordsworth was considered one of the greatest poets of his age. However, when his daughter Dora died in 1847, Wordsworth stopped writing poetry altogether. He died, three years later on 23 April 1850.

Wordsworth was one of the first poets to actively reflect on the beauty and glory of the nature and the power of imagination. His poems continue to be read all over the world by children and adults alike.
