I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hill
When all at once l saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the tree
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkleontheMilkyWay,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw l at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced;
But they out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
Apoetcouldnotbutbegay,
In such a jocund company:
Igazed-and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought
For oft, when on my couch I lie
Invacantorin pensivemood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fill
And dances with the daffodils.
