Letterary Word Game Solution

The above, which is to say below, piece has unsurprisingly proven a tad too difficult to all comers. I did receive a deluge of private requests for "more clues", but I feel I could not do this without falsifying the integrity of the contest. The correct order of words of the admittedly esoteric piece should have been rendered:

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills.


Congratulations to E. Emerick, Stoke who essayed the following by private mail:

I as wandered a cloud lonely
High vales o'er hills floats on that and.


Bad luck, E, but a worthy effort. The poem was by the poet William Wordsworth who used the given words in the earlier order.
