I put William Wordsworth's poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" to music to help people more easily memorize it. This poem is also known as "Daffodils".

I wrote and recorded the music. I also drew the background picture.

Poem Text:

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 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.

"The poem was inspired by an event on 15 April 1802, in which Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy came across a "long belt" of daffodils...around Glencoyne Bay, Ullswater, in the Lake District [UK]
Written some time between 1804 and 1807... it was first published in 1807 in Poems in Two Volumes, and a revised version was published in 1815."

The background picture is based on The illustration is based on John Parkers painting "Ullswater From Above Pattersdale" from his book
"The English Lakes: Selected views from a sketchbook" in 1825.

The original painting was made near the area Wordsworth saw his daffodils.

Really good, but the ending: “…and dances with the daffodils” is too abrupt.
