William Wordsworth

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"


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.

~1804

It's springtime and flowers are blooming everywhere.  Think what a dreary world this would be without flowers.  What would we do without flowers in our lives?  Don't you think it's time to smell the flowers?
