I wandered lonely as a cloud
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 the 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 the 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 though
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.

Reflection

The Poem shows to us that sometimes in our life we have a moment

like this, wandering somewhere and wondering something without
knowing that in the middle of nowhere we could see something
beautiful and perfect views that made our mind and heart at peace and
can fulfill the moment that were seeking, yet after we looked at it we
could not forget it then it may save our day in loneliness or anything we
are feeling. In reality there are people into our life makes to feel us that
we are at peace and being loved despite of our loneliness.
