The Romantic movement began with Lyrical Ballads, the collection in which this poem was initially published. The Romantics changed many aspects of poetry, here the depiction of an old man is in itself Romantic. Previously, poetry was written about the higher classes, for the higher classes. Though this poem was still circulated throughout the higher classes, for the first time, lower class citizens such as this old man were being used as muses for poetry.
