DAFFODILS

This poem had been


written by a romentic
poet, William
Wordsworth. He is also
known as the poet of
nature because of his
great love for it. Most
of his poems describe
nature & its beauty. In
this poem, he describes
his experience of
enjoyment along the
large number of
daffodils. As he says:
"I wandered lonely as
a cloud That floats on
high o'er vales and
hills, When all at once
I saw acrowd, a host of
golden daffodils;
Beside the lake,
beneath the trees,
Fluttering & dancing
in the breeze."
The poet says that once
he was wandering like a
cloud over the valleys
and hills. Suddenly, he
saw a large number of
daffodils were growing
under a tree & near the
bank of lake. The
flowers were dancing
and moving in the
breeze. This sight
delighted poet very
much. He says that:
"Continuous as the
stars that shine &
twinkle on the milky
way, They stretched in
a never ending line.
Along the margin of
bay: Ten Thousand I
saw at a glance,
Tossing their heads in
sprightly dance."
He describes that these
daffodils were dancing
continuously as the
stars that shine on the
milky way. The flowers
were in a never ending
lines and the poet says
that I saw almost ten
thousand flowers at
once. They moving
their heads in a happy
dance. As the poet says
that:
"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."
He describes that the
waves of the lake were
also moving & dancing
happily but the dance of
the daffodils were
superior to that. The
poet became very happy
in such a beautiful and
joyous company. The
poet went on looking at
them and did not think
what wealth of joy of
these daffodils had
brought to him. He says
that:
"For oft when on my
couch I lie. In vacant
or in pensive mood,
They flash upon my
inward eye. WHich is
bliss of solitude, and
then my heart with
pleasure fills, And
dances with daffodils."
The poet is very much
impressed with the
natural beauty of
flowers. So, whenever
the poet was alone or in
a thinking mood, the
same sight came to his
mind and fills his heart
with pleasure. He also
says that this scene of
flowers that he saw on
the lake comes in front
of his eyes and he also
begins to dance with the
flowers. This sight
became permanent
source of pleasure for
the poet which is the
bliss of his solitude.
