The poem deals with the moments that you have for your own. I got the feeling that those moments of leisure are becoming less and less frequent. William Wordsworth is presenting to us his love to nature, which is highly present in romanticism. You can tell his passion to nature by his repetitive use of words that have to do with nature, such as Milky Way, trees, lake and daffodils themselves.
I had a really great time listening to the poem because I love nature with all my heart and I think it´s essential to take care of it. Nature is so full of colors, colors that make our life livelier than what it is usually. Nonetheless, not only to take care of it, but also to appreciate it daily in every step we take.
When it comes to the stanza “A poet could not but be gay, in such a jocund company” it is important to bear in mind that natural science has been the inspiration for most f the artists of the last centuries, so in such a joined context loneliness is not present. Inspiration is possible to occur when sensibility and happiness are active in a poet´s mind.

Having said your feelings about the poem, which is a good thing to reflect on, what do you think is the point Wordsworth is trying to make? Is it just to contemplate nature, or to live life? Why?
Take care,
