To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,

Unwept, unhonor’d, and unsung.

THE 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.
