"daffodils"
by william wordsworth

i wandered lonely as a cloud
that floats on high o’er vales and hills
when all at once i saw a crowd,
a host of golden daffodils
beside the lake, beneath the trees,
6 fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

continuous as the stars 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
12 tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

the waves beside them danced; but they
outdid the sparkling waves in glee;
a poet could not but be gay
in such a jocund company;
i gazed—and gazed—but little thought
18 what wealth the show to me had brought.

for oft, when on my couch i lie
in vacant or pensive mood,
they flash upon that inward eye
which is the bliss of solitude
and then my heart with pleasure fills,
24 and dances with the daffodils.
