Question

Explain the transition from poet's pensive mood to his heart filled with joy

Answer 1

Hello friend
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes his mind is empty and "vacant," like a bored teenager sitting on the sofa after school and trying to decide what to do.

At other times he feels "pensive," which means he thinks kind-of-sad thoughts.

You can’t be both "vacant" and "pensive" because one means "not thinking," and the other means "thinking while feeling blue."

But he groups the two experiences together because both are vaguely unpleasant and dissatisfying.

So, often when our speaker gets in these downer moods, the image of the daffodils "flashes" through his mind.

Answer 2

The poet says that when he lies down on his couch in a pensive mood, the images of the golden daffodils flashes before him and changes his mood. The poet, who was lonely in the beginning of the poem, experiences "the bliss of solitude" by the end. He then feels calm and refreshed. This is how nature influences him. The memory of the daffodils fills his heart with joy and he feels as if his heart were dancing with the daffodils
