William Wordsworth - "Daffodils"
|
i wandered lonely as a cloud
that floats on high o'er vales and hills,
when all at once i saw a croud,
a host of golden daffodils;
beside the lake, beneath the trees,
fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
|
continous as the stars that shine
and twinkle on the milky way,
they streched in neverending 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 my inward eye
which is the bliss of solitude;
and then my heart with pleasure fills,
and dances with the daffodils.
