The poet William Wordsworth refers to the daffodils as golden because of two reasons one of which is very reasonable and the other one is metaphorical.  As the colour of the flowers is yellow, the poet calls them golden. Secondly, the poet considers them priceless as they live for only a short time and during that time they spread joy which is unimaginable. For him, the view of the daffodils dancing sprightly is as dear as gold.
