Question 41

EasyOriginal question

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A 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 dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in :—
A poet could not but be gay
In such a 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 mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of ;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
