She Dwelleth in the Ground - meaning Summary

Nature as a Cherished Residence

The poem imagines a woman or a feminine presence living among daffodils, with her Maker and the universe serving as her city and attendants. Natural beauty—grace, hue, fairness—is gathered by the heavens on her behalf. The speaker frames the cosmos as fetching and presenting that beauty, and expresses a possessive desire to bring or offer it to a beloved. The tone links earthly flowers to cosmic agency and intimate longing.
