Question

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.


hey ik this is a lot but i need the figure of speech used in the whole poem
help please •3•​

Answer 1

There are a number of figures of speech in this poem. The first is personification: "I" and "cloud" are being personified. The second is the simile "as a cloud." The daffodils are also personified as they dance and are gleeful. Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
