When Spring Breezes Pass
Description
When Spring Breezes Pass
“When Spring Breezes Pass” was conceived in the spring of 2022, when the daffodils first rose from the ground. They symbolize new life and hope for the future. They’re strong survivors who’ve weathered the winter storms and remind us of sunshine.
I think William Wordsworth says it best in “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud“, but I especially love the final line.
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.
