could  be  found.  When  we  came  to  land  we  saw  no  river  or  spring  nor  any 
inhabitants.  The  country  was  barren  and  rocky.  It  was  impossible  for  me  to

HANDWRITING 
XV. (43) Copy down the following passage neatly: 
William Wordsworth is a poet of nature. He lost his parents at a very
young age and was brought up by his uncle. His love for nature gave importance to
creative imagination and sentiments. The poem, “The Daffodils” glorifies nature at her
best. Flowers are a treat to our senses, especially to our eyes; it makes the environment
colourful and pleasant.
