I wandered lonely as a cloud

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, 

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, 

Tossing their heads in sprightly 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 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 that inward eye 

Which is the bliss of solitude;

 And then my heart with pleasure fills, 

And dances with the daffodils.
