| The Solitary Reaper | Daffodils |
| Whateer the theme, the maiden sang
As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And oer the sickle bending; I listened motionless and still; And. As I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore |
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 |
