Daffodils

We memorized it when I was about 13.

You might remember it ..it starts with

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

It has 3 more stanzas. It's not exactly a character-building poem, but it does encourage treasuring things that money does not buy.
