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".
