"I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high over vales and hills in golden daffodils."

Penmanship & Stroke Guidance

  • The single capital "I" should stand proud, centered on the midline and dropping securely to the baseline.
  • Watch the descender of "y" in "lonely" and the crossbars of "f" and "t" in "floats".
  • Maintain generous inter-word spacing so each poetic phrase breathes harmoniously across the stave.
