Write a paragraph with at least ten (10) sentences discuss how the poetic elements contributed to
the poem. Name the poetic elements discussed in class.

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.
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:

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.
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.

My personal analysis is that this poem is about natures captivating beauty and its positive impact to
humans. The feeling of enjoying the beauty of nature can change human loneliness to happines when
interacting with nature. The following poetic element are used in this poem:
1. Simile: the author used a simile in this poem when he compares his loneliness with a single cloud
when he say" I wonder lonely as a cloud" & the 2nd simile in this poem is when he compares the endless
row of Daffodils with the countless stars in this line "Continous as the stars that shine"
2. Personification: the author used personification in this line "Tossing their heads in sprightly dance" it
shows that the daffodils are humans that can dance.
3. Metaphor: the author used a methapor in this line "They flash upon that inward eye" here the "inward
eye" represent the memory of the daffodils.

The Major Theme in this poem is humans appreciation in natures captivating beauty. And another is
natures positive impact to humans especially when we are feeling low.
