Where can I find the words to the poem Hiawatha and Daffodils?

Longfellow and Wordsworth are the bards for these poems. Can I get the words on the internet

Where can I find the words to the poem Hiawatha and Daffodils?
Here you go...





By the shore of Gitchie Gumee,


By the shining Big-Sea-Water,


At the doorway of his wigwam,


In the pleasant Summer morning,


Hiawatha stood and waited.


All the air was full of freshness,


All the earth was bright and joyous,


And before him through the sunshine,


Westward toward the neighboring forest


Passed in golden swarms the Ahmo,


Passed the bees, the honey-makers,


Burning, singing in the sunshine.


Bright above him shown the heavens,


Level spread the lake before him;


From its bosom leaped the sturgeon,


Aparkling, flashing in the sunshine;


On its margin the great forest


Stood reflected in the water,


Every tree-top had its shadow,


Motionless beneath the water.


From the brow of Hiawatha


Gone was every trace of sorrow,


As the fog from off the water,


And the mist from off the meadow.


With a smile of joy and triumph,


With a look of exultation,


As of one who in a vision


Sees what is to be, but is not,


Stood and waited Hiawatha.








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.
