How does the speaker describe the girl in the third stanza of the poem, We Are Seven?

When the speaker describes the girl in the third stanza he says, “She had a rustic, woodland air” (9). The words “rustic” and “woodland” are also frequently used to describe idyllic natural settings, and as such have connotations of purity and innocence (9). Even in the next line, when the speaker describes the girl as “wildly clad,” we are given the same sense that there is a wholesome and primal quality that the speaker is attempting to illustrate through such language (10). Thus, Wordsworth uses language pertaining to nature in order to draw upon connotations of purity that people often associate with the natural world and imbue his character with such traits.
