The Daffodils
AtmosphereWilliam Wordsworth wrote Daffodils on a stormyday in spring, while walking along with his sisterDorothy near Ullswater Lake, in England.
Dorothy Wordsworth, the younger sister ofWilliam Wordsworth, found the poem so
interesting that she took 'Daffodils' as thesubject for her journal.
The poem contains six lines in four stanzas, as
an appreciation of daffodils.

The Daffodils: I wandered lonely as a cloudThat 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 shineAnd twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending lineAlong the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance
The waves beside them danced; but theyOut-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gayIn such a jocund company:
I gazedand gazedbut little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought
For oft when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eyeWhich is the bliss of solitude,
And then my heart with pleasure fills,And dances with the daffodils
