Listen to the modern poem and find out why. 5 1/03 I wandered lonely as a cloud 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. “I wandered lonely as a ... They’re in the top drawer, William, Under your socks – I wandered lonely as a – No, not that drawer, the top one. I wandered by myself – Well, wear the ones you can find, No, don’t get overwrought my dear, I’m coming.” “I was out one day wandering Lonely as a cloud when – Softboiled egg, yes, my dear, As usual, three minutes – As a cloud when all of a sudden – Look, I said I’ll cook it, Just hold on will you – All right, I’m coming.” Why Dorothy Wordsworth is not as famous as her brother “One day I was out for a walk When I saw this flock – It can’t be too hard, it had three minutes. Well put some butter in it. This host of golden daffodils As I was out for a stroll one –” “Oh you fancy a stroll, do you? Yes, all right William. I’m coming. It’s on the peg. Under your hat. I’ll bring my pad, shall I, in case You want to jot something down?” Lynn Peters The poem gives one half of a dialogue. Together with a partner, write William’s side of the dialogue. • Then read your dialogue aloud. If possible, a boy should read William’s part, and a girl should read Dorothy’s. Then change roles – change the name in the poem – and see how it feels to play the opposite part. • What does it tell you about gender roles? Do you think they are true of your generation? 8 Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
