Daffodils

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

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.

Coração

Ó vida porque passas tão de repente?

Tem calma e vai devagar,

Deixa amadurecer e viver tua gente

Porque lá no céu já há pouco lugar!

Queremos ver, sentir e provar

Todas as maravilhas da nossa Terra

Por isso, deixa-nos, ouvir e escutar

P'ra ver se a gente não erra!

É certo que não somos fieis

A este bem precioso - "a vida",

Exageramos e abusamos de todas as leis,

E depois lá se vai, toda perdida!

O ser "Homem" mexe e modifica

Tudo aquilo que lhe convém

E depois se glorifica

De todo o bem material que já tem!
