Read "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" and answer the question.

[1] 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;
[5] 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
[10] 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:
[15] 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
[20] 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.

Jake, mate, how are you? Ah you know John smirked same old, same old. Beneath the golden sycamore, the two dear friends sat and conversed. For years, they had been separated by circumstances beyond their control. Now, they were immersed in the moment and delighted in the discussion that was unfolding. Yet, despite their best efforts, they couldn’t get away from the reality of their present-day friendship. I suppose Jake began that we ought to have made more effort to see each other.
