“I wandered lonely as a cloud” William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on excessive o’er vales and hills,
When suddenly I noticed a crowd,
A number, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the bushes,5
Fluttering and dancing within the breeze.

Steady as the celebrities that shine
And twinkle on the milky method,
They stretched in unending line
Alongside the margin of a bay:10
Ten thousand noticed I at a look,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; however they
Out-did the glowing waves in glee:
A poet couldn’t however be homosexual,15
In such a jocund firm:
I gazed—and gazed—however little thought
What wealth the present to me had introduced:

For oft, when on my sofa I lie
In vacant or in pensive temper,20
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
After which my coronary heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
