Answer 1

Answer:

They referred to here are the daffodils. They are located near the lake under the boughs of the trees.

The phrase fluttering and dancing in the breeze tells us that the daffodils are dancing in the breeze.

The daffodils here are compared with the waves of the lake. The poet is trying to say that the fluttering (dancing) of the daffodils is more prettier than the sparkling waves of the lake.
