The poem employs figurative language to evoke not only the visual effect but also the emotional response. The poet makes a comparison between “I wandered lonely” and “a cloud” by the use of simile, thus convey to us his lonely and melancholy mood with the image of “cloud”. He also amplifies the visual effect by the use of another simile “Continuous as the stars that shine…” to evoke our sense of “daffodils” with the image of “stars” twinkling on the milky way familiar to us all. He goes further to impress us with the image of countless daffodils with an overstatement in line 9 “They stretched in never-ending line”. Besides, natural things are also endowed with human being’s characters by the poet’s subtle use of personification. e.g. “Tossing their heads in sprightly dance” “The waves beside them danced”, Word “lonely” conveys us the poet’s depression and disconsolateness at the very beginning. But as he catches sight of daffodils stretching as far as the eyes can see and finds himself in the midst of nature, his loneliness turns into relaxation and joy.
