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.
William Wordsworth, 1170-1850

Here are the Petite Daffodil Pillows as promised!
Each spring I make several little tokens of spring, daffodil pillows being one of many.
The ones pictured above are available on my website, though a few have already sold today:
I have more that need to be stuffed, and they will be listed in my Honeysuckle Lane Etsy shop over the weekend:
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed weekend!
