The Daffodils

William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely

as a cloud

Date:

That floats on high

o’er vales and hills,

Date:

When all at once I

saw a crowd,

Date:

A host, of golden

daffodils;

Date:

Beside the lake,

beneath the trees,

Date:

Fluttering and

dancing in the

Date:

breeze.

Continuous as the

Date:

stars that shine

And twinkle on the

Date:

milky way,

They stretched in

Date:

never-ending line

Along the margin

Date:

of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I

Date:

at a glance,

Tossing their heads

Date:

in sprightly dance.

The waves beside

Date:

them danced;

but they

Date:

Outdid the

sparkling waves

Date:

in glee:

A poet could not

Date:

but be gay,

In such a jocund

Date:

company:

I gazed - and

Date:

gazed - but little

thought

Date:

What wealth the

show to me had

Date:

brought:

For oft, when on

Date:

my couch I lie

In vacant or in

Date:

pensive mood,

They flash upon

Date:

that inward eye

Which is the bliss

Date:

of solitude;

And then my heart

Date:

with pleasure fills,

And dances with

Date:

the daffodils.Date:
