What are the figure of speech used in the poem you wandered lonely as a cloud?

Answer 1

This poem, by William Wordsworth, was written in 1804, published in 1807 and edited in 1815. It is also called "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud".

The Daffodils

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 2

The figure of speech used in the poem "I wandered lonely as a cloud" by William Wordsworth include simile ("I wandered lonely as a cloud"), personification ("A host, of golden daffodils"), and metaphor ("Continuous as the stars that shine").

Answer 3

1-they stretched in never- ending line

2-ten thousand saw I at a glance

Answer 4

It's a simile. You can tell this because it uses "like" or "as". In this case, "as".

Answer 5

That would be a simile since it compares two irrelevant things with the word "like" or "as"

Answer 6

it is personification
