Reference:

This fine piece of poetry has been taken from the poem “Education of Nature” Composed by “William Wordsworth” a poet of Nature.

Context:

Lucy is a beautiful girl of poet’s imagination. The poet personifies Nature as the best teacher. He says that nature will bring her up. She will learn many valuable lessons from cloud, willow and stars. Nature will inspire to do good things and prevent her from doing bad things.

Explanation/Central Idea :

The poet says that Lucy will get education from Nature. Nature will teach her self-discipline and freedom. She will be as active as fawn. He will learn calm and silence from inanimate things. She will learn to move in graceful manner from clouds. Willow tree will teach her modesty. She will love stars and beauty of cascade. This beauty will add charm to her face. But it is irony that Lucy dies in the end. The poet is sad over her death. He is always lost in the memory of Lucy. The main point is that the Nature is best teacher for us and we can learn something or other from every object of Nature.
