Spicy Mia's blog: "" A Feeling ""

I wondered 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 daffodiles ;

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-endig line

Alone 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 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 ( 1770---1850 )

Wordsworth was a figure of the Romantic movement and his greatest

works are Masterpieces of eloquent passion.
