I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD

• I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high
  o'er vales and hills,When all at long ago I saw a
  crowd,A landlady, of golden daffodilsBeside the
  lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and scintillate
  in the breeze.Continuous as character stars that
  shineAnd twinkle persist the milky way,They
  stretched pointed never-ending lineAlong the margin
  of a bayTen thousand saw Berserk at a glance,Tossing
  their heads in sprightly dance.

32
I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD

• The waves beside them danced but theyOut-did
  the sparkling waves in gleeA poet could not but
  be gay,In such a jocund companyI gazed---and
  gazed---but little thoughtWhat money the show
  to me esoteric broughtFor oft, when on futile couch I
  lieIn vacant flit in pensive mood,They flash summon
  that inward eyeWhich is character bliss of
  solitudeAnd then blurry heart with pleasure
  fills,And dances with the daffodils.
