Wordsworth's daffs.

In one of those synchronistic moments, I came across an article by Carol Klein about species daffodils in the March 2009 edition of Gardens illustrated magazine (lovely magazine, well worth hunting out). The kind of daffodil Wordsworth was describing is thought to be Narcissus pseudonarcissus, commonly called the Lent lily, as I guess it flowers during Lent in the Northern Hemisphere.
