                                 हिंदी में सारांश 

     पहाड़ियों से गुजरते वक्त कवी डैफोडील के बगीचे  को देखता है। वह उस की तुलना अंतरिक्ष में स्थित  असंख्य तारों से करता है।  उसे वे नाचते हुए प्रतीत होते है।  वह एक बार में  10 हजार फूलों को देख सकता था।  डैफोडील के वो सुनहरे फूल उसे आकर्षित करतें हैं। कवी का मन खुशियों से भर जाता है।  और वह हर्षित हो जाता है। उसे ऐसा प्रतीत होता है कि उसे कोई सम्पति मिल गई।   

     जब कबि खाली वक्त  सोफे पर ध्यान मग्न होता तो उसे  डैफोडील के वो दृश्या नजर आने लगते और उसका हृदय नाचने लगता।
