The Daffodils
I wandered lonely as cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils ; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle in the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay : Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their head in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced ; but they Outdid the sparkling waves in glee : A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company ; I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought. For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude ; And then my heart with pleasure fills And dances with the daffodils. -William Wordsworth (153 words)
