Williamworth was considered one of the two poets who began the Romantic era. His vision of poetry was that it should be understood by the common man, just as the "marriage of feeling and thought" (Elements of Literature) of an educated man is one of the reasons why his poetry is not only widely understood, but it also made him arguably “the best poet of the age,” as Coleridge would say. This “marriage” is clearly seen in Worth’s “Surprised by Joy” through the use of meter, rhyme, sound, and punctuation. This poem shows that human emotions are shown not only by a human being's immediate feelings, but also by remembered feelings, which intensify the marriage between feelings and thought. Wordsworth's use of iambic pentameter throughout his poetry makes the poem seem more natural and more easily understood by all; which corresponds to his idea that poetry should be appreciated by everyone. This idea is reinforced by the fact that all the lines of the poem are ten to twelve syllables, which again feels more natural because this is usually the number of syllables that are said in one breath. Making this poem more accessible to everyone helps demonstrate that these mixed feelings at the death of a loved one are natural and can be shared by everyone. The rhyme scheme used in the first eight lines of the poems is an internal rhyme. The first part of the poem mainly shows readers how much it is worth trying. It focuses on what is most valuable, but doesn't explain it much to the reader.
