The speaker of the poem is the only character noted in the work. No physical description of the speaker is provided. The speaker and the poet do, however, share at least one biographical characteristic, namely their appreciation of nature. They value both introspection and an outward experiencing of the world, as evidenced by their periods of blissful solitude described in the final stanza, and their engagement with wilderness, specifically their emotional response to the vision of the daffodils. It is also implied that the speaker, like Wordsworth, is a poet themselves, as they state in the third stanza, “A poet could not but be gay,/in such a jocund company” (15).
