I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud.

Salam,

If you have been following my blog, you would notice that one of my passions is on poem. I started to love poems since I was in primary school under my aunt Salmah's influence. She was the one who introduced me to poems and she even helped me to win the first place in the Poem Rendering Contest after UPSR examination. I love all poems either they are in BM or English.

Here is one of the most memorable poems that I've learnt from my beloved ex-lecturer, Mr. John B. Greig. I remember that he was so emotional and rendered the poem with his full expressions. Why don't we look at the poem and then I'll let you decide whether the poem has any effects on you or not.

"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. 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. William Wordsworth
