I wandered lonely as a cloud
Ihat hoats on high DER wales and hills,
When all at once / saw a crowd,
a host OF golden daffod9ls;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees.
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
I'D twinkle on the milky way.
They stretched in never-enddng 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
out-did the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such jocund company;
gazed-and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had
brought:
For oft. when on my couch lie
In vacant or dn 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.
