A Poem that I like!

Sort:
famer

Here is a poem that i like. I looked at in during my English class:

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 cloud,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and drawing 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 I saw 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 ocuch 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.

(William Wordsworth, 1804)

This poem isn't bad. I mean, in general Wordworth's poems(and older poetry in general) are a little bit tedious, because they stick to strict rhyme schemes and tend to sound overly fomulaic. 

That said, Wordworth wrote one of my favorite poems protagonist canoeing to see a mountain at night. Sadly, I can't find it. :q

Good luck and hope you enjoy more poetry in the future!(especially in English class, where you often only get one or two good ones interpersed with many, many bad ones)
