8. The 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. 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: ***Poem by William Wordsworth
