The Daffodils
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.
by William Wordsworth
The poet has used it for create rhyme and effective which also makes one of the classic poems. The common figure of speech used are like, personification, simile, hyperbole and alliteration.
The very 1st and 7th line he uses simile “I wandered lonely as a cloud”, “Continous like star that shines” here the poet makes a direct comparison between him and a cloud in 1st and comparison between daffodills and stars in 7th
Alliteration in 5th and last line “Beside the lake, beneath the trees”, “ and dances like daffodills”. There is repetition of the sound b in 1st and d in last line
Personification is used in all below mentioned lines 6th line “Fluttering and dancing in the breeze”, 12th line “Tossing their heads in sprightly dance”13th, 14th line “The waves beside them danced, but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee” All this above lines daffodills are referred as a person.
Hyperbole is used in 2nd 11th and 9th line respectively “When all at once I saw a crowd”, “Ten thousand saw I at a glance”, ”They stretched in never-ending line” All in these sentences there is exaggeration and overstatement. The poet has used ‘crowd’ and ‘ten thousand’ to mean a lot of daffodils. But he must not have counted them there at a glance. This is an obvious exaggeration. The flowers must be many , but that should not be ‘never-ending’. The poet has made an overstatement in this line.

Poetic devices in William Wordsworth's poem "I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud".
Explanation:
- Poetic devices are those devices or figurative languages that are used in a work of literature to present a much more colorful and lively picture of the scene or event described.
- These devices have their own ways of representing any given image into a much more desirable and understandable picture, allowing an active imagination of the given circumstance.
- The poem about the daffodils written by William Wordsworth is about his encounter of a field of daffodils that sway and lie in an open field, giving him much pleasure. He also felt calm and a sense of solitude even after he gets back to his house, far away from the flowers.
- The devices that can be seen in use in the poem are-
- Alliteration- This is the situation where the first letters of the words are in continuous use in a given line of a sentence. This is seen in the lines "beside the lake, beneath the trees", "ten thousand...", "what wealth..." etc.
- Simile- this is the use of words such as "as" or "like" to make a comparison of one thing with another. An example can be- "lonely as a cloud", "continuous as the stars" etc.
- Personification is the giving of human or living attributes to a non-human or abstract idea. E.g, "Fluttering and dancing in the breeze", Tossing their heads in sprightly dance", "they / Out-did the sparkling waves in glee" etc.
- Hyperbole which is the sue of exaggerated or over-the-top statement for describing anything. E.g, "Ten thousand saw I at a glance", "They stretched in never-ending line / Along the margin of a bay".
- Imagery is the use of a word to describe or present a visual image of the scene or even the speaker's feelings and emotions to the readers. E.g, "lonely as a cloud", "fluttering and dancing in the breeze", "Tossing their heads in sprightly dance" etc.
