William Wordsworth, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" (commonly known as "Daffodils"), originally published in 1807

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.
