The speaker is the narrator and main character of the poem. No physical description is given of the speaker themselves. However, ideologically, the speaker appears to be associated with Wordsworth, namely with regard to their belief in the divine power of nature and the necessity of connection between humanity and the natural world. Overall, the speaker is very critical of modern society, denouncing it for its materialism and industrialism. They view the power of nature as more important and spiritually rewarding than the power of material wealth.
