ASSESMENT

1. The imagery of the poem makes the reader visualize the writers’ feelings and emotions. William Wodsworth has
used images appealing to the sense of sight, such as “lonely as a cloud,” “never ending line,” “milky way,”
“jocund company,” etc. This poem is a pictures and description of the authors expression of loneliness,
liveliness, and happiness.

2. What the poet means by “inward eye” is his imagination or images that flashed before his eyes. He considered it
“bliss of solitude” because he cannot share his own spiritual vision with others so it is a form of “solitude”, but
truth, beauty, and peace makes it “blissful.”
3. Wodsworth mean by the word wealth in the last line is that he found happiness while looking at the daffodils. It
carries the hint of money that does not quite fit with the supernatural language that has come before.

4. The prevalent mood in the poem is overcoming the feeling of sadness and beauty of the nature wherein it is
very melancholic mood in the first but at the end of shows a pensive mood.
