Hiya friends Daffodil is the flower of this month. This reminds me of one my favourite poets, William Wordsworth's poem: "Daffodils" (1804) I Wander'd 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 stretch'd 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. by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH(1770-1850). I love this poem,especially the last 5 lines. although i have really not seen or touched them ,this poem lands me in a field of daffodils. any lover of daffodils or wordsworth's poems here?
