All Time Favorite Poem - William Wordsworth

This is my all time favorite poem. I am also excited to be reading in April ... Annette Vallon. ( The story of Wordsworth's mistress) I have been waiting to share my favorite poem for when I post on the book, or for daffodil days, but today I just couldn't resist.

   I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
   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:                                  10
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,                               20
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
  
I

sigh..........I love this poem.
