The correct answer is metaphor.
A metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech where two or more things are symbolically compared, without using the words such as like or as (because that would be a simile). This whole poem is symbolical/metaphorical - it talks about the passage of time and how everything is transient and fleeting.

Answer:
The <u>first passage</u> represents nature as something wild and dangerous, by describing the yucca tree with some risky, violent and dangerous words, which are used to warn us about this plant and its characteristics.
On the other hand, the <u>second passage</u> represents nature as something soft, calm, and beautiful, by describing daffodils. Daffodils are represented as something delicate and beautiful, so the vision of nature is quite different from the first passage. In this case, nature is described as something soft and wonderful, completely different from <em>bayonet-pointed leaves</em> and a <em>fence of daggers</em>.
