Thank you for putting some emotion into this beautiful poem ^^ It's a happy poem, so why do other people sound so depressed when they read it aloud? "Then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with the daffodils". I hear other people recite that line and they sound like they're going to a funeral.

when I read this poem, I begin to close my eyes.

I distance myself from horrid experiences and feel my heart begin to beat slower. Its like a drug

I fantascise about the blissfull solitude and for a moment, I am happy

Just been reading back through my posts. I'm so embarrassed! I was an A-level student at the time, and clearly I thought I knew everything about literature.

After a couple of years at uni, I realise just how little I knew then – and how relatively little I still know now. Nationality should never be a barrier to enjoying and sharing poetry. And actually, I now think a stuffy RP accent is the last thing this poem wants!

Really sorry if any offence was caused :)

I disagree with what lago4883, and think that it shouldn't matter where one's from! Poetry is, after all, a universal language.

I'm English, but think 'Daffodils' works very well when read in an American accent. I prefered your reading to many of the drab, archaic sounding British readings on youtube.
