Answers
Answer 1:
The poet William Wordsworth came across the daffodils when he was walking with his sister Dorothy around Glencoyne Bay, Ullswater, in the Lake District on 15 April 1802. And both were charmed by the beauty of the flowers along the bay.
Answer 2:
When the poet saw the daffodils they appeared to be tossing their head in sprightly dance. The waves in the bay beside which the daffodils grew also appeared to be moving in a joyful dance. Moreover, the poet felt that the movement of the daffodils was better than that of the sparkling waves. Thus it appears as though the daffodils and the waves were competing.
Answer 3:
The wealth which is referred to here by the poet means wealth of joy and happiness; which actually comes from happy and fond memories when the poet saw a host of golden daffodils by the side of the lake beneath the trees.
Answer 4:
The poet says that he saw ten thousand daffodils at a glance. He says so in order to highlight that the whole area along the lake was covered with blooming, uncountable daffodils.
Answer 5:
Buds blossoming on a cool spring day.
Watching the sunrise (or sunset)
Feeling the cool breeze on a hot day
