the daffs in the park, brighten any day ... 15 April

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" (also commonly known as "Daffodils"^[2]) is a lyric poem by William Wordsworth.

It was inspired by an event on 15 April 1802, in which Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy came across a "long belt" of daffodils. Written some time between 1804 and 1807 (in 1804 by Wordsworth's own account),^[3] it was first published in 1807 in Poems in Two Volumes, and a revised version was published in 1815.^[4] It is written in six-line stanzas with an ababcc rhyme scheme, like the Venus and Adonis stanza of Shakespeare, except in tetrameters rather than pentameters.
