Reflection of "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" and "Composed Upon Westminster Bridge" by William Wordsworth

Wordsworth's poems are similar and yet very different. One talks about the beauty of nature and how it flourishes and grows even when left untouched and the other is about the city. They are similar because they have certain rhyme schemes and are both written around the same time."I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is about Wordsworth's reaction to rationalization and industrialization of nature, cities, and societies in comparison to the poem "Composed Upon Westminster Bridge", which is a sonnet, of 14 lines and a specific rhyme scheme. The tones are very different and the first one makes me feel more peaceful when reading it. The music also helped along with the pictures you showed us in class as you read it. The second poem seemed talks more about the beauty of the city, which isn't as peaceful, but busy and confusing.
