Wednesday Word Scramble - Poets edition 📝

[Breanna]

May 31st is Walt Whitman's birthday so I thought we might have a poet-themed scramble today. I'm not sure if he rates on this side of the world, but I bet some of you will definitely remember the iconic Oh Captain, My Captain from the Dead Poet's Society. 

These are poets themselves, rather than titles of poems.

Thanks for joining @pgn -- Walt Whitman, who famously decided a diet of milk punch would cure what ailed him (it didn't).

Because I could not stop for Death

He kindly stopped for me

The Carriage held but just Ourselves

25 William Wordsworth

[Breanna]

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.
