Question

Read the excerpt from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud."

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.

Which words best describe the tone of this excerpt?

bored and lonely
peaceful and content
excited and enthusiastic
emotional and anxious

Answer 1

peaceful and content

The speaker describes a pleasant, reflective feeling ("the bliss of solitude," "my heart with pleasure fills") rather than boredom, anxiety, or intense excitement.
