NEW PODCAST from The River Academy: Because of COVID's curveballs, we decided to try something new: Old Time Radio Theatre. So, in the classical vein of the Golden Age of radio, we took our stage to the airwaves! We'll provide a mixture of plays, poetry, and prose, all performed by the students of The River Academy. Find us here. We present a reading of William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" from Emma Cenotto. "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth 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.
