When all at once I saw a crowd, Personification

Beside the lake, beneath the trees:
Lake beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Personification
Rhyming words: cloud, crowd _trees, breeze
Continuous as the stars that shine imagery
And twinkle on Milky Way, Scientific Knowledge
They stretched in never ending line
Along the margin of bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. Personification
Rhyming words: shine, line ___glance, dance
The waves beside them, but they imagery

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 :
Rhyming words :they, gay __thought, brought
For oft when on my couch I lie imagery

In vacant or in pensive mood, Metaphor
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
