Question

I wandered lonely as a cloud

Answer 1

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:

The tone this is creating is a soft, gentle, but meaningful tone that brings happiness and serenity to it, but also a struggle of a person with wealth.

Answer 2

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.

Wordsworth creates a rather contrasting tone in the above stanza. By starting off the stanza with words such as "vacant" or "pensive. He transitions it swiftly to a gay mood, with words such as "bliss" and "pleasure".
