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 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: 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.

孤独漫游宛如云闲 飘过谷壑飘过山峦， 忽然一群映入眼帘， 原来却是金色水仙； 生于树下长在湖畔， 迎风起舞姿态万千。 如同星耀其势连绵， 银河之中不停眨眼， 无限延伸排成一线 依湾生长列其边缘： 万朵鲜花尽在一览， 欢快起舞齐将头点。 花边水波也在荡漾， 水仙欢快胜过波光。 诗人怎不欢乐满腔， 与之为友神采飞扬。 望之又望从未思量 美景带来如此宝藏： 卧榻之上时常辗转， 心事浩茫默默无言， 内心世界她们常现， 福佑在此孤独之间； 于是我心充满喜欢， 水仙伴我舞姿翩然。
