    TRA Theatre on the Air: "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" by William Wordsworth

    TRA Theatre on the Air: "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" by William Wordsworth

    NEW PODCAST from The River Academy:


    Because of COVID's curveballs, we decided to try something new: Old Time Radio Theatre. So, in the classical vein of the Golden Age of radio, we took our stage to the airwaves! We'll provide a mixture of plays, poetry, and prose, all performed by the students of The River Academy.


    Find us here.


    We present a reading of William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" from Emma Cenotto.


    "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.
