The aim of this study is to explore a side of two poets’ works from different centuries and cultures: Abdalaziz Al–Maqaleh in the first stanza of his work "Village Book" and William Wordsworth in his poem "Daffodils". Al–Maqaleh is regarded as the greatest and the most famous contemporary Yemeni poet. Wordsworth is considered as "the father of nature" and one of the most well-known romantic poets.
Regarding the comparative study, the most connected feature between the two poets is fighting and being disappointed by the adverse impacts of urban and industrial life on nature and man. Therefore, the reader of the two poets can easily notice that most of their works have a great focus on ecological and environmental worries. The researcher attempts to throw light on the rhetorical styles of each work and how each poet prompts to portray wondrously nature in general and countryside in particular. Each poet has his own way to interconnect and signify simply and in depth the equality and the relationship between nature and human beings.
