This is useful to mention that the first words of the poem "I wandered lonely as a cloud" consist of the sad note but when the poet notices the daffodils the tone becomes joyous.
But if you attentively read the poems and scrutinize their contents, we can see that these poets are not sad and sorrowful. The tone of both verses is melancholic at first glance. There is the image of the pond, frog, and water in the second verse. The first verse displays many things which are connected with nature, but the most explicit way of nature is daffodils. These poems can be considered to be similar because of their imagery of nature that is present in both poems. This once again shows that so-called poetry is always very tentative. Incidentally, in Japanese poetry, words such as a frog, does not sound like "low" and do not create a comic effect. For this system has been developed so-called "seasonal words." The frog here is the spring word. Haiku tradition demanded that the landscape sketches necessarily indicate the time of the year. It creates the impression of complete freedom, even improvisation. The sound harmony of "The old pond" is perfect. There is only one verb (jump) in the end of the second verse: tensions action arises and immediately re-removed, dies. There are two formal elements in this poem.

The full meaning of it will be revealed only when we look through the eyes of the poet himself, understand his feelings and relationship to the world. There is a real landscape in this poem but even if we can see that same pattern, which saw the poet, Basho's tercet will not be understood by us to the end. The poem symbolizes the picture of the spring day.
Basho's poems cannot portray mathematically as the sum of various literary devices, because it is an artistic image that has not still lost its value. The poet does not speak about silence of the spring day, forcing you to guess, and thus reinforces the impression. Others believe that it represents the landscape of spring days, and innuendo is a special stylistic device. Some literary critics believe that this poem embodies a kind of ineffable mystery, a metaphysical sense, and defies rational explanation.
"The Old Pond" is one of the greatest Basho's poems. Basho is the great Japanese poet, the theoretician of a verse. The flowers are personalization in this poem. Personalization is an object's description as being an animal or a living person. Besides, Wordsworth uses stylistic devises, such as an ontological metaphor (personalization) and emotionally strong words: "golden", "bliss" and "dancing". When Wordsworth thinks about the yellow daffodils, he perks up. The yellow daffodils symbolize the beauty of nature. Secondly, this poem tries to prove that people are not actually alone if they have the ability to make use of memories efficaciously. It underlines that the value of memories should be presented in our life. Firstly, the poem is considered to a poem of remembrance. In this situation, Wordsworth describes himself as lonely and alone. In addition, this poem shows us the deep emotions and feelings of the poet. "I wandered lonely as a cloud" is a lyric poem that deals with Wordsworth's reply to the beauty of nature. The poem "I wandered lonely as a cloud" was written in 1804 in Grasmere when Wordsworth and his brother went to the shore of the lake, all overgrown with yellow daffodils. Although Wordsworth was against philosophy, yet in his thinking remains enlightening idea of natural rights and natural equality of human beings. In the works of Wordsworth is the fraction of mysticism and the deification of nature, there is a little moralizing and piety, but it all gets lost in his deeply lyrical and simple poetry.
Wordsworth admitted that nature is the greatest teacher. He believed that his poetic purpose was to show the nature of a man not as a refuge from suffering and commitment, but as a source of "pure passion and fun," enduring inspiration and support. William Wordsworth is a poet of nature and a man. The "simple" way of life was their ideal, and Wordsworth took his apology in his literature. They always contrast urban life with simple "uncorrupted" life of the province. William Wordsworth is an English romantic poet, the representative of "the Lake School." The representatives of Romanticism sharply condemned urban culture. In order to fully and critically analyze these poems it is necessary to describe the manner of style and folk arts of William Wordsworth and Basho. In this paper I am going to analyze, discuss and compare the following poems "I wandered lonely as a cloud" by William Wordsworth and "The old pond" by Basho according to their imagery, vocabulary and tone.
