I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth

 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.

    Beautiful poem. Keep the classics coming, get some stuff by Shakespeare. Anyone feeling lonely or experiencing solitude would understand and relate to this poem. Wordsworth is brilliant, put more of his work on. Yoza was a great initiative, keep it up. Just make sure no rubbish gets on the site.
