Daffodils
The poem "Daffodils" by William Wordsworth
Question | Answer |
---|---|
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. |
