I wandered (roamed) lonely as a cloud . That floats (sails) on high oā€™er vales (valleys) 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 (shore) of a bay :
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly (lively) dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling (shining) waves in glee (joy) :
A poet could not but be gay (happy),
In such a jocund company :
I gazed and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft (often), when on my couch I lie
In vacant (blank) or in pensive (thoughtful) mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss (blessing) of solitude (time alone);
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils. – William Wordsworth
