THE DAFFODILS

I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That float on high o'er vales and hills,
when all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of garden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the tree
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretch'd in never-ending 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 sparking 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 thet inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils.
