Question

HELP AFAS!!!!! 40 POINTS!!!!!! 10. I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. 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: 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.

Answer 1

Answer: In this poem Wadsworth is reflecting on an occasion when he saw, appreciated and is now remembering the beauty of nature. He recalls being near a lake and observing a sea of daffodils that danced in the breeze and were, "as continuous as the stars." His tone is one of reverence  for that which man cannot create but happens naturally and perennially. Further, his tone is one of joy and appreciation for that which he saw and now remembers as that memory, "flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills."
