Summary and Contents:
Topics which are discussed in the notes are given below:
  • 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.
