《我如云般孤独漂浮》(或译《水仙花》《咏水仙》)是华兹华斯浪漫主义诗歌代表作之一。因其文笔朴素清新，自然流畅，广为流传。黄水仙是英国有代表性的花卉品种，在三月间开遍英国的水泽山野和许多人家的花园。她们给诗人带来了灵感。

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

by William Wordsworth

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.

参考译文：

水仙花

我孤独地漫游，像一朵云

在山丘和谷地上飘荡，

忽然间我看见一群

金色的水仙花迎春开放，

在树荫下，在湖水边，

迎着微风起舞翩翩。

连绵不绝，如繁星灿烂，

在银河里闪闪发光，

它们沿着湖湾的边缘

延伸成无穷无尽的一行;

我一眼看见了一万朵，

在欢舞之中起伏颠簸。

粼粼波光也在跳着舞，

水仙的欢欣却胜过水波;

与这样快活的伴侣为伍，

诗人怎能不满心欢乐!

我久久凝望，却想象不到

这奇景赋予我多少财宝。

每当我躺在床上不眠，

或心神空茫，或默默沉思，

它们常在心灵中闪现，

那是孤独之中的福祉;

于是我的心便涨满幸福，

和水仙一同翩翩起舞。
