I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

Today's poem for June 2, 2026, is I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth. 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. 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. Wordsworth reminds us that beauty can return later as memory, and still make the heart move.
