Read the poem and answer the question
[1] 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
[5]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
[10]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
1151A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company
Igazed-and gated-but little thought
What we alth the show to me had brought
For oft, when on my couche
120jin vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude
And then my heart with pleasure fils
And dances with the daffodils
