Welcome and Introduction:

Verse: I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud

(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.

Verse: On A Friend (Robert Burns)

An honest man here lies at rest, As ‘ere God with his image blessed.

The friend of man, the friend of truth, The friend of age and guide of youth.

Few hearts like his with virtue warm’d Few heads with knowledge so informed If there’s another world he lives in bliss If there is none, he made the best of this.

Binyon’s Lines They shall not grow old,

As we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn,

At the going down of the sun And in the morning

We will remember them. We will remember them.
