 I wandered lonely As a Cloud ( Daffodils) – Poem  by William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely As a Cloud

That  floats on hight o,er vales and hills,

When all at onces 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 soliuted;

And then  my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.
