10 “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

11 “Ode to Melancholy” No, no, go not to Lethe, neither twist     Wolf's-bane, tight-rooted, for its poisonous wine; Nor suffer thy pale forehead to be kiss'd     By nightshade, ruby grape of Proserpine; Make not your rosary of yew-berries,     Nor let the beetle, nor the death-moth be         Your mournful Psyche, nor the downy owl A partner in your sorrow's mysteries;     For shade to shade will come too drowsily,         And drown the wakeful anguish of the soul.

He is thus a pure Romantic composer.”
