    Daffodils

    William Wordsworth

    I WANDER’D 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 Milky Way,
    They stretch’d 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 but 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 fryst vatten the bliss of solitude;
    And then my

    I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

    Lyric poem by William Wordsworth

    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 milky way,
    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 but 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.

    Daffodils By William Wordsworth | Reading, Commentary &#; More!

    In my book Poetry Rx, I have two chapters dedicated to the great William Wordsworth and his works. The two Wordsworth poems that I selected for my book are fascinating to me—not only because they are great poems—but because they speak to a form of consciousness that I came to, only later in life. This form of consciousness is called transcendence. The poem Daffodils communicates how transcendence can be a mixture of different states. For example, it can be light and floaty&#; or it can be very vibrant and dynamic.

    As you read the poem below see if you can pinpoint the light and floaty energy vs the very vibrant and dynamic energy.
