Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze William Wordsworth poem “Three years she grew in sun and shower”. This stylistic analysis focused on four levels of languages which are phonological level, graphological level, lexical level and grammatical level covering the sounds, rhyming scheme, literary devices and use of grammar. The phonological features employed in the poem were alliteration, assonance, metaphor, simile, personification, imagery and free repetition.The graphological features were use of capitalization and use of punctuation. This analysis found that Wordsworth positioned nature as essential part of life. As nature has power to educate better than all the wise. Nature was placed as a character in this poem nature is communicating with Lucy. In order to find the tools, tone, and all the other features of the poem the researcher apply the stylistic analysis method offered by Leech and Short in their works named “A linguistic guide to English poetry” in Longman (1969). This research is helpful to analyze the structure and style of Wordsworth’s poetry and his themes, views and treatment of nature.
