Daffodils
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
Outdid
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;
Ans
then
my
heart
with
pleasure
fills，
And
dances
with
the
daffodils.

華茲華斯(William
Wordsworth，1770-1850)，十九世紀初英格蘭北部湖區三大“湖畔派詩人”(浪漫主義)之壹。此詩向我們描繪了壹幅美好的自然景象，同時抒發作者對自然美景的喜歡。黃水仙據說是威爾士國花(1282年，威爾士歸順英格蘭，被封公國)，在英國廣泛栽種，春季開花，花期不長。有許多關於黃水仙的詩歌，這首詩無疑是脫穎而出的。
