I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2004 2:21 pm
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once isaw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodills;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the brreze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They streched 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 beisde them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling wanes 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 flashed upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodills.
