“And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils”

William Wordsworth  1770 – 1850

This is the complete poem:

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.


Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749 – 1832

The Shambles in York is one of its most famous cobbled streets. It used to be full of butcher’s shops . . . but now it has a more interesting choice – including Chocolate Heaven . . . much more up my street!
