Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high over vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Besides the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shines
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.

                                      William Wordsworth

This is one of my favourite poems since school days. It gives sense of tremendous joy in nature and conveys that the life has so much to offer. It’s so beautiful and vast.
