A rework of William Wordsworth's, I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud, as a special reflection for 23rd March 2021- A National Day Of Reflection

Daffodils 2021

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats high over 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:

126 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 happiness and peace.

For often, 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 those daffodils.
