I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud               

         ——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.
