"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"
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.

For anyone watching this, this was actually a rush recording for Mother's Day because it's my mom's favourite poem - or, so she told me decades ago. I have a much better recording of it here ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZuVi4mqm7mrfZY ) that I've done since then - or, at least, I think it's better. Honestly though, I was still learning the microphone even in the second one, so I think this will eventually need another re-record. Thanks for the views, in any case!
