DAFFODILS

I wandered lonely as a cloud
that floats on high o'er 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 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.
