这是威廉·华兹华斯的名篇之一 。      
起初是一位孤独如浮云的诗人，在看见那一簇簇、一团团随风而舞、兴高采烈的水仙花之后，才心情舒畅、笑逐颜开的：这一冷一热、一忧一喜的对照，自然而然地突出了水仙花的壮美与欢快。本诗恰似中国元代那酣畅淋漓、尽性发挥的小令，将个人对大自然之美的讴歌痛痛快快、毫无保留地奉献出来，供读者尽情享受。虽无含蓄之韵，却有坦荡之致。自然而平稳的韵律更增添了喜悦之情。
        水仙花之势众与诗人之孤独这一扎眼的对照成了抹之不去的凄冷画面，犹如王维“明月松间照，清泉石上流”，虽优美却有一股强大的寒流冻彻心骨。可参照欣赏。

I wondered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o＇er vales2 and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host3, of golden daffodils;
Fluttering4 and dancing in the breeze． 5

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle6 on the milky way,
They stretched in never－ending line
Along the margin of a bay7:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing8 their heads in sprightly dance．

The waves beside them danced; but they   Outdid the sparkling9 waves in glee10 :
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund11 company．

孤独地游荡我如一片云
浮过河谷又飘过小山，
突然间我看见一大群
一大堆一大团金黄的水仙
翩翩起舞在微风中。

连绵不绝如银河的星
闪闪烁烁眨眼睛，
逶迤无边不见尽头
镶嵌在海湾之滨：
随便一数就有十万朵，
摇摆着头跳起轻快的舞。

身旁浪花闪烁相伴舞
但怎能与水仙比快活：
叫诗人如何不开心，
置身手舞足蹈的水仙花丛中？
