Do you know a poem abt daffodils suitable for pre-schoolers?

yes a very simple easy one ..



Daffodils" (1804)

I WANDER'D 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 stretch'd 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.



By William Wordsworth (1770-1850)
