"Daffodils"
William Wordsworth(1804)
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.
~
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched 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 leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but 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.

Thank God and greyhounds ; I am finally seeing some signs of spring around here too ! This has been the longest winter I have ever seen.
You creative chicky!
I love the 2nd & 3rd songs! (See me grooving in my chair?)
That WW poem is the first poem (not counting nursery rhymes) that I was required to memorize in school. To this day, I still love it and ...well, the rest is too long to post.

Love it, lovely prose, love WW.
Can't WAIT for the daffodils here. Trader Joe's get them and sells bunches for next to nothing. They're coming!
I am so jealous, you can do wah ditty ditty dum diddy do all day long here in a snowbank. You must take more pictures of SPRING for us snow people..who only can dream of Daffodils:)
Ahhhh.. aren't those tiny little hints of green just GORGEOUS!!!
*doin' a happy dance for you, girl!!*
Cute post. The earth was shaking- for the earthworms and ants, at least! ;)
Yea spring! It felt like it here today, too!
What a beautiful poem that is... almost as beautiful as a daffodil...
I cannot wait for spring!! CANNOT!!!!!

My middle grandson is Jake. We sing Jake, Jake, Jake, shake, shake, shake....
The green is peeking out, isn't it wonderful?
Shake that booty! Things are green around here. Can't wait for Spring temps to stay. It's been a rollercoaster. Glad you have some signs pokin' thru!
Good morning Mama Barb :)
It looks like you're finally getting your first signs of Spring! Yay!!
On a more somber note.... I'm deeply sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to you and Misty's family.
love,
DADR
Now see? I'm not the only one getting ready for Spring to really hit!! ;) But you are still welcome to visit anytime WoW!
Thanks for posting that sign of spring!
A much needed lift.
very cool!
I noticed some little tiny sprouts just the other day too. Which reminds me- I have to go WATER them. :)
woohoo, this brightened my morning, I have a smile now with those songs ringing in my mind & visions of meadows filled with spring flowers, I want to go dance with the daffodils
Lucky, lucky, lucky you!! Nothing is peeping through the ground here and I mean nothing! I would be happy to see a weed at this point.
The cows and heifers that we are housing for a neighboring rancher are starting to calve...so surely that is a sign of spring!!
It can't get here soon enough for me....but we really, really, really need more rain in our area. No snow..more rain please.
Take care my friend and give us updates on those lovely daffodils....=) I love the poem as well....William Wordsworth can make the simpliest things come alive in the minds eye.
I love it! How neat is that seeing daffodils! Good poem choice - I've always liked that one too.
Isn't spring wonderful?!
Ahhh, daffodils! Please give us a photo when they bloom! Love that Wordsworth poem; I too had to memorize it in schoool.
Ohhh what a BEAUTIFUL sight!!! I can't wait for spring! Thanks for sharing- it gives me hope on this cold snowy night here in the mountains.lol
It's TRUE! Of course, spring is finding its way to your world a little sooner than it will to mine, but this gives me hope.
ALLL RIGHT!
I love Wm Wordsworth! He is like one of my fav-e-est poets!
Nice picture, do I reconize the resolution?
I put up some man jokes for you (tell cowboy I still wuv him, these DO NOT apply to your hunny!)

It's about time!

LOL...now I have those songs running through my head...guess at least something is now!
Good morning and good 'almost spring'!!! Kim
Hello, it seems that spring has come at last. In my country spring has not come so far that the atmosphere with a moderate, but did not show manifestations of the spring so far, I can feel it close :) .
you are in a good mood makes you feel like singing and dancing, I can not do all that, everyone stares at me (because I am in the living room) :D , enjoy your time with family
I just found the same sight in my yard! What a beautiful sight!!!!! Spring is just around the corner!
You're a scream Barb! One day I hope to meet you. Love Connie
what a grand entrance for spring...for those of you who have been snowed in, its much deserved!
the only thing I don't like about spring is ...cleaning.......
I felt your excitement at the new life exploding from a long dormant soil.
May love and beauty fill your life through these daffodils.
My favorite Wordsworth poem! Know it by heart. Spring is showing signs around here as well. My daff's are about to bloom, and the spring peepers are singing. Well, were singing, then it got chilly again. But they'll be back soon. Next week promises to be warmer again.
Enjoyed the post, Barb. Happy weekend!
Hugs!

I am loving that the daffodils are pushing up through the soil. I watch mine daily....oh and the tulips.
*banging head against desk* PLEASE dont do this to me.... I have cabin fever so bad that my nails are now bloody stumps. I have chewed my leg off at the knee because I was imagining a chain around my leg keeping me in this blessed house for another month,.... We got 6 inches of snow the day before yesterday and 2 more last night.....
*blank stare left eye twiching***
And just today I got my firt peak at my iris coming up...don't have any daffodils. Great, uplifting post for us winter weary folks :)
Sounds like you're excited!
I came over here from Gutsy Writer's blog. My blog is titled "Dancing with the Daffodils". My 102 year old grandmother planted a love of poetry in me. That's one of our favorites.
Boogy the spring RIGHT ON IN! You go, Barb, just keep on rockin'!
What a refreshing breath of spring YOU always are to every single one of us!
