Answer 2

Lonely as a cloud

Explanation:-

• The poem begins with a sense of alienation—the set-up that would later be broken by the visual shock of daffodils. While the rest of the poem functions by expressing nature, the first line does the opposite.
• The speaker compares themselves - or more specifically, their "lonely" way of wandering - to a cloud. The effect of this simile is similar to that of the later personality of daffodils: both serve to link the speaker and nature together. The speaker is usually a stand-in for humanity, so this first line establishes that the poem is about the relationship between mankind and the natural world.
• The comparison shows that the speaker is walking with no specific purpose, building on the idea that the clouds are aimless (which in itself is a sort of implicit personality that often occurs when people look up at the sky. ).
• The language of the first line is delicate and simple, establishing a sense of calm that is interrupted by the blissful joy of the sudden appearance of daffodils.
• The iambic tetrameter suggests a steady but essential walking motion, and the accompaniment of the /l/ sounds ties "lonely" and "clouds" together, reinforcing the idea of clouds as somehow isolated figures. (Of course, this is very weather-dependent!)
