I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

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.

I walked slowly like a cloud which floats high over the valleys and hills.

Suddenly I notice many golden daffodils beside the lake and under the trees.

They are shaking and dancing in the wind.

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 daffodils are numerous as if they are shining stars sparkling on the galaxy.

The line of flowers never ends which is along the bank of the bay.

I glance at ten thousand flowers which shaking their heads when they are dancing happily.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed – and gazed – but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

The waves beside the flowers were dancing too, but the happiness of flowers surpasses bright waves.

How happy a poet would be with such a joyful companion!

I gazed for a long time and never thought of how much wealth the wonderful view had brought to me.

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;2

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

When I lie on my bed feeling bored or thinking about something, the flowers often flash in my mind which is the ecstasy of my life.

Then my heart is filled with pleasure and dances with the daffodils.

Paradise Lost

OF Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit

Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal tast

Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,

With loss of Eden, till one greater Man

Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,

Man’s first sin that he tasted the forbidden fruit, caused death and troubles, and lost the paradise until the Messiah came and save us and regain the happy paradise.

Ode to the West Wind

51. Scarce seem'd a vision; I would ne'er have striven

52. As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.

That is not a dream.

I would never have pleaded with you urgently.

65. And, by the incantation of this verse,

66. Scatter, as from an unextinguish'd hearth

67. Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!

68. Be through my lips to unawaken'd earth

69. The trumpet of a prophecy!

With the help of magic verse, my words were scattered among mankind through my mouth to the sleeping earth, like the ashes and sparks from the burning stove.

Let the predictions be scattered!

O Wind,

Oh, Wind,

70. If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

The Flea

Mark but this flea, and mark in this,

How little that which thou deniest me is;

Me it sucked first, and now sucks thee,

And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;

Thou know'st that this cannot be said

A sin, or shame, or loss of maidenhead,

Yet this enjoys before it woo,

And pampered swells with one blood made of two,

And this, alas, is more than we would do.
