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 companyI 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.

There are two poems in this passage. Read each one to determine the topic of the poem. Compare the poems. How are the topics the same? How does the poet describe the topic?

I Wandered Lonely as a CloudBy 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.

My ShadowBy Robert Louis Stevenson

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow—Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,And he sometimes gets so little that there’s none of him at all.

He hasn’t got a notion of how children ought to play,And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.He stays so close beside me, he’s a coward you can see;I’d think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me! . . .

DID YOUKNOW?

Imagery is all of the words that appeal to the senses. Images describe how something looks, sounds, smells, tastes, or feels. Ask yourself what the images mean to you. How do they help you understand the poem?
