William Wordsworth
(1770-1850)
I wandered lonely as a 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 on the milky way,
They
stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw
I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did 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.
