a little flowery language

Daffodils

by William Wordsworth

I wander'd 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 stretch'd 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.

Come Hear Some Fine Acoustic Music


Scott B Adams

Acoustic Guitar Concert
at the
Valatie Community Theatre

Saturday June 6
th
at
8 pm
(doors open at 7:30 pm)



Here’s a quick bit about Scott from his web site:

Scott B. Adams has forged a career out of capturing landscapes and snippets of history from the Adirondacks, The Finger Lakes and New York state, and turning them into lush, acoustic instrumental music compositions. Music from his most recent CDs is featured on the PBS Special, "Adirondack Wild" as well as on various syndicated radio shows such as NPR's "'Echoes" and "The Folk Sampler".

He is also the new director of the Boght Arts Center (http://boghtarts.org/). His official web site is www.orchardbeat.com where you can learn more about him and also hear some samples of his music.

The theatre is under restoration at 3031 Main Street (http://www.valatietheatre.org/). Tickets are $10 (I think) & doors open at 7:30.
