Poem Help!! 10 points For Best Answer!!?

poem: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 stretch'd 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.

4 stressed in the first stanza (it's iambic)



A metaphor would be a crowd of daffodils because it's comparing the number of daffodils to a crowd of people.
