POEM:
“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 waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
1|Page
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.”

2. Purpose
- The main aim of the poem "Daffodils" is to express how nature can profoundly
_____________ and _____________ the human spirit. Wordsworth achieves this by using the

Romantic ideals, the embrace of simplicity and gratitude, and the power of poetry as a
communicative medium.
III. STRUCTURE
1. Form
- The form of "Daffodils" is relatively simple. The poem consists of __________ sestets (six-
line stanzas), adding up to twenty-four lines in total.
- It is told in the __________ tense until the last stanza, allowing the reader to imaginatively
participate in the speaker's memories.
- For example,
• The daffodils appear unexpectedly to the speaker, mirroring their sudden introduction
in line 4.
• Lines 3 to halfway through line 17 focus on describing the daffodils in detail. This
description highlights their lively movement, beauty, and abundance.
• Line 17 marks a major change in the poem—the speaker introduces a broader context
for why they feel the experience of the daffodil is important.
2. Meter
- The meter in "Daffodils" is consistently iambic _______________, with a few careful and
deliberate exceptions. Generally, the iambic tetrameter has an almost walking pace in line with
the poem's main set-up: the speaker "wandering" in the countryside, similar to purposeful but
unhurried footsteps.
- The first variation of the iambic tetrameter occurs in line 6, in which the first foot is substituted
for a dactyl:
Flut-ter-ing | and dan- | -cing in | the breeze
5|Page
- This change emphasizes the _______________ contained in the word "fluttering," making it
sudden. Likewise, the three syllables in the first foot have an almost waltz-like feel, anticipating
the use of "dancing" throughout the poem.
- Line 7 provides the next disruption of the meter, with an extra syllable in "continuous" making
the line literally longer, which mimics the long line of daffodils.
“Continuous as the stars that shine”
- Line 12 has a trochee substituted in the first foot, serving a very similar function to the earlier
substitution in line 6 and making the meter of the mirror the motion of the daffodils.
Tos-sing | their heads in spright- | -ly dance.
3. Rhyme Scheme
- The rhyme scheme follows a clear formula throughout the poem. Each stanza follows its own
ABABCC scheme:
Stanza 1: ABABCC
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”
Stanza 2: ABABCC
“Continuous as the stars that shine

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.”
Stanza 3: ABABCC
“The waves beside them danced; but they

6|Page
What wealth the show to me had brought:”
Stanza 4: ABABCC
“For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,

- In each stanza, then, there is a concluding final couplet. The rhymes are strong and full
throughout, which in part demonstrates the _______________ power of the speaker but also
embodies the idea of "dance" that runs through the poem.
- In the first stanza, all of the end words relate to nature. This helps to establish the outdoor
setting of the poem and makes it clear that the natural world is a key part of the poem's meaning.
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

- Similarly, the first four end words in the final stanza all help to establish the speaker's sense
of _______________ (though now indoors). This solitude isn't portrayed negatively, but rather
as part of the imaginative process.
=> The rhymes, then, help the reader sense the shift in mood as the poem moves from relaying
the memory of the daffodils to showing why that memory is important.
- The last couplet allows for the poem to end fittingly on the star of the show—the daffodils
themselves.
“And dances with the daffodils.”

- The tone shifts from celebratory joy to a more pensive, _______________ appreciation.

VI. THEME
Contact with nature can evoke profound emotions and inspire the human spirit
"Daffodils" by William Wordsworth is a poem that encapsulates several themes, but

one of its central messages revolves around the _____________________ of nature
In "Daffodils," Wordsworth describes a scene where the speaker encounters a field of
daffodils, which leaves a lasting impression on him. The beauty and vibrancy of the flowers
evoke a sense of awe and inspiration within the speaker, as seen in lines such as "A host, of
golden daffodils; / Beside the lake, beneath the trees, / Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."
This theme is evident throughout the poem. The author's initial feelings of
___________ and __________ ("I wandered lonely as a cloud") are replaced by a sense of joy
and connection upon encountering the daffodils. The beauty of the natural world can uplift the
human spirit and provide comfort in times of emotional disorder.
Moreover, the poem's imagery and language further support the theme:
11 | P a g e
The imagery of the "golden" daffodils dancing in the breeze evokes a sense of energy
and dynamism, reinforcing the idea that nature has the power to captivate and inspire.
________________: Nature has the ability to provide comfort and peace to those
who seek it. The poem also emphasizes the theme of solitude and contemplation. The poet
initially feels pensive and alone while wandering, “I wandered lonely as a cloud”, but upon
encountering daffodils, his mood transforms into one of joy and amazement.

This contrast between being alone and surrounded by nature highlights the stimulating
and reflective qualities of natural beauty, showing that nature can offer solace and comfort to
those who look for it. The poet appreciates being alone and cherishes the spiritual space of
being solitary with his imagination.
That brings us to the third theme:________________________: How nature can
evoke emotions and shape our perception of the world.
The poem is based on the poet being alone at home. The poem ends with him being
alone, but not feeling sad. The memory of the daffodils he experienced continues to bring him
joy, even though the experience is over. He can recall the scene in his mind's eye during
moments of solitude, which shows how nature can have a lasting impact on our memory and
imagination.

I lie In vacant or in pensive mood,

The poem "Daffodils" delves into various themes related to the beauty and significance
of nature, the relationship between __________________, and the positive impact of natural
beauty on the human spirit. It encourages readers to contemplate their experiences with nature

VIII. VIETNAMESE VERSIONS

1. The first version: (by Anh Tuyet)
Lạc bước lang thang như mây lững lờ,
Qua núi non, qua những dòng suối xanh.
Bỗng thung lũng bừng lên sắc hoa vàng,
Biển thủy tiên rực rỡ trải mênh mang.
Ven bờ suối, ven triền đồi thấp thoáng,
Như say sưa cùng gió nhẹ đùa vui.
Muôn hoa vàng tựa ngàn sao lấp lánh,

Dệt trên nền trời rực rỡ muôn màu.
Thảm hoa vàng trải rộng mãi xa xăm,
Uốn lượn theo triền dốc tận chân mây.
Tràn ngập lối, hoa vàng chen chúc nở,
Như khúc hát mùa xuân rộn ràng say.
Dòng suối reo cũng nhuốm ánh vàng tươi,

Nhưng chẳng bằng muôn hoa đua sắc thắm.
Lòng bỗng dâng trào niềm vui khôn xiết,
Cảnh sắc say mê ngây ngất hồn say.
Đứng lặng người, như say trong ảo mộng,

16 | P a g e
Biển hoa vàng in dấu ấn thi ca.
Giờ đêm về, trên chiếc giường đơn độc,
Hình ảnh ấy lung linh mãi trong ta.
Dù ưu phiền hay phút giây lặng lẽ,
Biển hoa vàng rực rỡ mãi hiện ra.
Cùng hoa vàng, lòng tôi hoan ca vang,
Như lạc vào chốn thần tiên diệu kỳ
2. The second version (by Hien My)
Tôi lang thang như đám mây cô độc
Trôi với trời theo thung lũng đồi cao

Hiện trước mắt tôi một vùng tươi rộng
Ngập vàng sắc hoa rực rỡ thủy tiên
Cạnh sông xanh, dưới những tán cây mát
Đang rung rinh, nhảy múa trong gió hát.
Bạt ngàn như những ngôi sao tỏa sáng
Lung linh lấp lánh trong dải ngân hà
Cánh đồng thủy tiên trải dài vô tận

Trải mình lạc trong bờ vịnh vô vàn
Ngàn bông thủy tiên hiện lên rực rỡ
Lắc thân mình theo điệu nhảy vui tươi
Sóng nhấp nhô theo nhịp bước bên dòng
Sao sánh bằng rừng thủy tiên hòa nhịp
Là thi sĩ trước ngàn hoa tươi thắm
Tôi hòa chung niềm vui hạnh phúc hân hoan

Đắm mình trong cảnh tượng đẹp xinh ấy
Tôi nhận ra đó là cảnh đẹp trời ban.
17 | P a g e
Nhiều khi nằm dài trên gối tôi ngẫm
Dẫu tâm trạng có trống vắng, trầm ngâm
Thì thủy tiên vẫn hiện trong tâm trí
Giải thoát tôi ra khỏi sự cô đơn

Và trái tim tôi ngập tràn hạnh phúc
Cùng vui theo vũ điệu của thủy tiên.
3. The third version (by My Hang)
Ta lang thang giữa vùng đất non
Bay cao trên vách núi tràn đồng
Bất ngờ mắt ta bắt gặp dòng
Hoa thủy tiên vàng, lấp lánh

Bên bờ hồ, dưới bóng cây mát
Bay lượn nhảy múa, vui tươi thả ga.
Như vì sao lấp lánh trên cao
Hoa nở rộ, dọc bờ vịnh uốn quanh
Chúng tựa như nụ cười tươi sáng
Niềm vui vô tận, dẫn lòng người
Sóng biển nhảy múa bên cạnh

Nhưng hoa vui sướng, không phôi pha.
Như nhà thơ trước cảnh thiên nhiên
Ta mừng vui, lòng bừng sáng rạng ngời
Khi nằm yên trên giường, tâm hồn thanh thản
Hình ảnh ấy hiện về, niềm hạnh phúc
Trái tim ta đầy ấm áp
Và múa cùng hoa thủy tiên vàng.
Khi lòng đầy vui sướng thanh thản

Hình ảnh đó hiện về, niềm hạnh phúc
18 | P a g e
Trái tim như được làm mới
Và múa cùng đóa thủy tiên bên dòng
Nguyện rằng niềm vui sẽ bền lâu.

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.”

“The waves beside them danced; but they

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

“I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”
