DAFFODILS...

"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).

BURST OF SPRINGTIME

My heart is perching on the brink...

The very edge of wonder for spring's about to burst.

I just can't imagine what Is rising up to greet...

My heart on this tomorrow When joy will come to earth.

Oh spring, the glorious day My heart's about to burst...

I just can't contain the pleasure The joy, of this new birth.

Oh, let me go and see Has the sun arisen now...Can I search among the melting The cold and barren ground.
Will I then discover God's shoots of life to see...Oh, open wide the gate of spring For it's quivering in the heart of me.
