Explanation:
SIMILE
Simile is a device used to compare one object to another to help readers understand or to clarify the meanings using ‘as’ or ‘like’. There are two similes used in this poem. “I wandered lonely as a cloud.” He compares his loneliness with a single cloud. The second is used in the opening line of the second stanza, “Continues as the stars that shine.” Here Wordsworth compares the endless row of daffodils with countless stars.
METAPHOR
Wordsworth has used one metaphor in this poem in the last stanza as “They flash upon that inward eye.” Here “inward eye” represents the sweet memory of daffodils.
PERSONIFICATION
Personification is to attribute human characteristics to lifeless objects. The poet has personified “daffodils” in the third line of the poem such as, “When all at once I saw a crowd.” The crowd shows the number of daffodils. The second example of personification is used in the second stanza as, “Tossing their heads and sprightly dance.” It shows that the Daffodils are humans that can dance. The third example is in the third stanza such as, “In a jocund company.” Here he considered the daffodils as his buoyant company.
REPETITION
repetition of the same consonant sounds in the same lines of poetry such as the use of /g/ sound in, “I gazed and gazed” and the use of /w/ sound in, “What wealth the show to me had brought.”
