William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" puts you in the mood to get out into nature with your Nordic walking poles.
Some tidbits:
- I saw a crowd, / A host, of golden daffodils; / Beside the lake, beneath the trees, / Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
- The waves beside them danced; but they / Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
- 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.
