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.
Rhyme Scheme: “d e d e f f”
Paraphrase:
          The poet compares the daffodils to the stars that are shining on the Milky Way. The Milky Way sparkles and shines at night. The flowers he sees spread over a large area along the edge of a lake. They seem to cover an area as large and wide as the stars of the Milky Way. He can see thousands of daffodils raising up their heads and moving in the wind in a beautiful and lively way.
Figures of speech:
1- Simile: “as the stars” the poet likens the daffodils to stars.
2- Personification: “Tossing their heads in a sprightly dance” the poets gives the daffodils the image of people who rise up their heads and dance.
