Question

Why does William Wordsworth place the central idea where it is?

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in a sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed-and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this poem, William Wordsworth describes his experience in the same order in which it took place. He begins the poem by describing his wanderings, and ends it by describing the effect that this had on him. The reason why Wordsworth placed the central idea at the end of the poem was because he wanted to allow readers to discover the lesson in the same way and the same order in which he did.
