Why does the poet say that the world is beautifully drest?
The poet calls the world "beautifully drest" because he thinks the world's natural features like water, grass, air, and wind make it look lovely, just like pretty clothes make us look nice.

About the Poet - Great, Wide, Beautiful, Wonderful World | The English Channel (Literature Reader) | Class 5 Literature | English
William Brighty Rands (1823-1882) was a British writer known primarily for his children's literature. Despite working as a clerk in London, Rands published material under various pseudonyms in a variety of genres, including journalism, criticism, adult novels, and poetry. However, he is best remembered for his children's literature and poems, which were often imbued with sharp wit, humour, and insight, revealing an acute awareness of the child's perspective. Despite his significant contribution to children's literature, Rands's identity as an author was not widely known during his lifetime due to his use of pseudonyms, and much of his life remains a mystery.
