I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud

    (1807)

William Wordsworth

I wondered loneyly as a cloud

That floats on high o'ver vales and hillss,

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 stas 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 springtly 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 comapny;

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 previous 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.
