Gerda's Fotojournaal

Daffodils

A spring day. We drank coffee in the garden with our friend Lone. we had to take our warm clothes of and put a t shirt on and short trousers. One hour to enjoy the warmth and sun.
Been busy with all kind of biking to all kind of shops in the neighbourhood. On my way home I saw these daffodils in a garden and because of a poem of William Wordworth they are my blip.

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 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.
William Wordsworth
