New York, May 3.--President Nc

Damodils

! wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high DER wales and hills,
When all at once / 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 the never ending line
Along the margin of a bay;
Ten thousand saw ! at a glance.
Tossing their heads 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;
] gazed-and gaZed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought
For oft, when on my couch j lie
In vacant or in pensive mood.
They flash upon that inward eye
What is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
