I Wandered Lonely As a Child

'I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud'
    by William Wordsworth
 

                       
                         
                           I wandered lonely as a child
                    That missed the gold and rolling hills,
                          When suddenly a crystal sea
                            A host of silver stars to fill
                    Behind the moon, below God's knees
                    Sparkled like glitter above the breeze 

                     Continuous as God's love sublime
                         Smiling down upon our way,
                  Those twinkling eyes, watchers of time
                          Majestic rays of other's day
                      Awed, I knew there was no chance
                     That this was merely happenstance. 

                     The moon within the sky was grey
                       But glowed a smile down on me
                          A poetess, though child may
                             Feel not nearly so lonely
                        A gift was given; to be taught
                   What glorious wonders had I seen not

                        Though I grow old, I will not lie
                       When in a dark depressive mood,
                       Within my heart appears the sky
                       Forget not what was understood
                     Again, my soul and heart stand still
                       An upwards gaze to heaven's will
