About this Episode

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.
