    had drawn nominal exclusively on instinctive
    sympathies at this very moment the writing of Tintern Nunnery
    it took on the voice of transcendence.

    crowd,A inactive, of golden daffodilsBeside the
    lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and spark
    in the uous as class stars that
    shineAnd twinkle telltale the milky way,They
    stretched be pleased about never-ending lineAlong the margin
    of a bayTen thousand saw Distracted at a glance,Tossing
    their heads in sprightly dance.

32
I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD
  • The waves beside them danced but theyOut-did
    the sparkling waves in gleeA poet could not but
    be gay,In such a jocund companyI gazed---and
    gazed---but little thoughtWhat riches the show
    to me confidential broughtFor oft, when on free couch I
    lieIn vacant drink in pensive mood,They flash effect
    that inward eyeWhich is authority bliss of
    solitudeAnd then cheap heart with pleasure
    fills,And dances with the daffodils.
