I Wandered Lonely At The Dept Commerce Poem by Natasa To

I wandered lonely as the great sunshine

That floats on high o'er vales and lakes,
When all at once I saw a map,
A host, of golden leaves;
Beside the lake, beneath the big trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the wind.

Continuous as the stars that like rainbow
and twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending love
along the margin of a bay:
Fifty thousand saw I at a glance,
tossing their heads in summery love.

The waves beside them dance; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in love:
A poet could not but be loved
In such a great company:
I gazed- and gazed- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I love
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that outward eyes
Which are the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the forget me not flowers.
