Wordsworthian describes poetry or poetic style that recalls William Wordsworth's work: plain, natural language; close attention to ordinary life, nature, memory, and inward feeling; and a serious, reflective tone. The word may also suggest a Romantic emphasis on the healing or moral power of the natural world.
Example
The daffodils along the cold path
shook like small bright bells,
and the speaker, alone with his grief,
found peace in the quiet field.
