Melodies #4: Daffodils by William Wordsworth

in #blog6 years ago

Hey Steemit

Being on the road can sometimes be lonely and to keep me company I have the sun, moon and the stars. I often come across beautiful natural canvas that literally take my breath away. I chose this poem to share as Wordsworth is a poet who is closely in touch with nature and 'Daffodils' is one of his work which was inspired from him having an epiphany while walking through a park full of daffodils. I have not come across daffodils as yet but very often I have the opportunity to view nature as spectacle.

Daffodils 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 leaves 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 is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils
