I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by Williams Wordsworth:

1. cloud
   
   
2. lake?
   
   
3. bay.
   
   
4. waves!
   
   
5. 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
   Out-did the sparkling

   
   waves
   
   in glee:
   A poet could not be but gay,
   In such a jocund company:
   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.
