I wandered lonely as a cloud

  • 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

  • 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.
