The Daffodils Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF EGEGHH IJIJBBI wandered lonely as a cloud | A |
That floats on high o'er vales and hills | B |
When all at once I saw a crowd | A |
A host of golden daffodils | B |
Beside the lake beneath the trees | C |
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze | C |
- | |
Continuous as the stars that shine | D |
And twinkle on the milky way | E |
They stretched in never ending line | D |
Along the margin of a bay | E |
The thousand saw I at a glance | F |
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance | F |
- | |
The waves beside them danced but they | E |
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee | G |
A poet could not but be gay | E |
In such a jocund company | G |
I gazed and gazed but little thought | H |
What wealth the show to me had brought | H |
- | |
For oft when on my couch I lie | I |
In vacant or in pensive mood | J |
They flash upon that inward eye | I |
Which is the bliss of solitude | J |
And then my heart with pleasure fills | B |
And dances with the daffodils | B |
William Wordsworth
