I am wondering if anyone knows the rest of this poem by Wordsworth, I just have an expert form it and would like to here the rest:
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 hose of golden daffodils.......

Romeo: Here it is, found at http://www.bartleby.com/145/ww260.html It is a lovely collection of imagery. Thanks for prompting me to find it.
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. 1804.
