Daffodils - Wordsworth poem - where would I get all the verses?

My mother frequently starts this poem, and I can help her along most of the first verse then we both get stuck. I think it reminds her of her school days - I guess we'll all be nostalgic in our 70's.
I wandered lonely as a cloud(please correct any mistakes)
that floats on high o'er dale and hill
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

OK there I get stuck, any suggestions?

Here ya go MT:

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.

Thanks guys - that was some quick typing!!
I had the most fabulously inspiring English teacher and certain lines there have just reminded me of her never ending enthusism for the written word.
Will copy and post to Mum.
Thanks again.
