While the poet is aimlessly walking over valley’s and hills his eyes meet a very beautiful sight of
golden daffodils. The daffodils are stretched out a lot so it’s looking that is endless. Therefore,
the poet say’s that there are ten thousand which he saw at a glance in the second stanza. The
poet refers the daffodils to a host as there is a whole bunch of daffodils. Also, a personification
has been used when it was told that they were fluttering and dancing in the breeze. The
daffodils were given the human quality to dance.

and nature seemed such a wonderful company tighter. The poet also gazed a lot at the beauty

in his life. Also, the poet is mesmerized with the beauty of the daffodils that his gazed was
transfixed at the beauty of the nature’s, daffodils dancing in the breeze along with the waves.

daffodils dancing in the breeze had been a memory that would cheer him up when he was sad
as he has written in the last stanza.
