Springtime

  • Daffodils~
  •            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 milkyway,
  •     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 be but 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 in the bliss of solitude;
  •        And then my heart with pleasure fills
  •        And dances with the daffodils

 

Daffodils

Beautiful poem!

It reminds us to slow down when we are in nature and take it in, breathe it in, print it into our memory so that when we are on the couch we can remember and feel the joy again.

When I was in school I had to memorize this poem, and I still know it by heart. Thanks for shaing this beloved poem here by William Wordsworth (1770-1850) Dancing in the daffodils! Starlady
