4.1.2. Poem 2 Daffodils
I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high oer 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 leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but 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.
4.1.2.1 The Paraphrase of “Daffodils”
The paraphrase of Daffodils I wonder lonely as a cloud floats on 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. The author is walking near a lake when he comes upon a host, or large bed,
of daffodils. Vale is another word for valley. Continues 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 sa I at a glance, tossing
their hand in sprigthly dance. There are as many daffodils as there are
stars in the sky, so many they cant be counted. He says in one glance he can see ten thousand, which is a large number used to express how large
the bed of flowers is. They seem to be dancing in the breeze.
The waves besides them danced, but they out did the sparkling leaves in glee; a poet could not be but gay, in such jocund company. He gazed but
little thought what wealth the show to me had brought. The waves of the lake lap at the store, but the sound the daffodils make as they dance in the
wind outdoes the sound of the w ater. The poet can’t help being happy
when he is such joyful jocund company. He looks at them for a long time, but he does not yet appreciate what experiencing these flowers has
done for him.
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 they my heart with
pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils. The author knows how much the flowers have affected him. Often, when he is lying couch or hen he is a
thoughtful pensive will come to him, and then his heart with pleasure mood, an image of the daffodils ill come to him, and then his heart fills
with pleasure and ”dances with the daffodils”.”
