Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if 'Daffodils' is the real name of the poem by William Wordsworth that begins "I wander'd lonely as a cloud..." I have seen a few different titles but I want to put a copy of it in my cubicle at work, and I guess I'm a little tempermental and want to use the real name.

This refers to the first line as the title, but the Oxford Book of Verse uses "Daffodils". Most Google references are "Daffodils" or "The Daffodils"
Thanks so much for the link! :-)
As I remember, the Romantic Poets weren't big on names for their poetry. Editors used to use the first line of each poem to identify that poem.
