Is there enough here to identify the poet?

Question

Young William

Simple and graceful lyrics rise
from times most young boys do despise
numinous morality grow
from nature in a land of snow

A cottage where he hopes to find
philosophic songs for the mind
educated unstinting growth
witnessed by God and Country both

Ullswater Lake he stole a boat
a peak looked down and stole his cloak
pantheism thought teased his brain
spectacular visions on which to train

London was not the place to be
the Lake District had set him free

William Wordsworth, of course Andy. He who loved the lakes and fells and wrote his best of daffodills. His best poetry came from the period he lived at Dove Cottage in Grasmere with his wife,children and sister Dorothy. A place I have visited and loved. When you stand beside the lovely lakes, you can understand where he got his inspiration from. I very much enjoyed your poem and can see you have been studying.

Yeah, "William" plus "Lake District" pretty much nails it, and the rest is just icing on the cake.
