Answer:

Lyric poems express personal feelings, thoughts, and actions; that is, the speaker expresses himself/herself/itself by subjective words and lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is possible to notice in the poem "I wandered lonely as a cloud", by William Wordsworth (1770-1850), that the speaker has a subjective relation with Nature and its elements, such as by the emotions evoked from looking at the "[...] golden daffodils; / Beside the lake, beneath the trees [...]" in the first stanza, and by the statement in the last two lines of the poem: "And then my heart with pleasure fills / And dances with the daffodils". This is also one of the most important aspects of Romantic poetry: the subjective relations the speaker and/or the poet expresses in relation with Nature.
