The poet has compared himself to a floating cloud passing over hills and valleys. He was on a stroll through the countryside when he suddenly came across
countless yellow daffodils. These daffodils were beside a lake under trees. The flowing
breeze made the daffodils flutter and it seemed as if they
were dancing.

To William Wordsworth, the daffodils appeared to be as
continuous as the twinkling stars on the Milky Way galaxy. They were arrayed in a seemingly unending
line along the bank of the adjacent bay. To the poet, it seemed as if ten thousand daffodils were bobbing in the gentle breeze and he imagined
them to be engaged in a lively 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 SOLITUTE:
AND THEN MY HEART WITH
PLEASURE FILLS,AND DANCE WITH THE DAFFODILS
Whenever the poet is in low spirits, the
sight of the daffodils flashes in his mind.
His heart fills with joy and happiness and it seems to him as if his heart is dancing with
the daffodils.
