Alexandra Uitdenbogerd - I wandered lonely as a cloud - текст песни (слова)

The Daffodils
 
 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.
