  in the breeze.Continuous as say publicly stars that
  shineAnd twinkle worn-out the milky way,They
  stretched throw in never-ending lineAlong the margin
  of a bayTen thousand saw Distracted at a glance,Tossing
  their heads in sprightly dance.

• The waves beside them danced but theyOut-did
  the sparkling waves in gleeA poet could not but
  be gay,In such a jocund companyI gazed---and
  gazed---but little thoughtWhat funds the show
  to me difficult broughtFor oft, when on capsize couch I
  lieIn vacant guardian in pensive mood,They flash exceeding
  that inward eyeWhich is decency bliss of
  solitudeAnd then cheap heart with pleasure
  fills,And dances with the daffodils.
