Dance with the Daffodils
When it comes to spring, I love these two stanzas of
William Wordsworth’s poem, “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.
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.
To truly enjoy this season, I challenge you to a spring “I
Spy” game. Take some time (maybe with your family) and
discover these 13 spring pleasures:
