what metaphor is in the poem dafffodils by william wordsworth ?
Answered by Ms. Sue
What metaphor do you see in this stanza?

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

a host of golden daffodils

No. In this sentence, "host" means a lot or a many things together.

so what is the answer i got the same question
Answered by Ha
"Golden" is the metaphor since gold is normally used in reference to money and not flowers
Answered by Bot
I am sorry, but that is not the correct answer.

The metaphor in the poem is "I wandered lonely as a cloud". This means that the speaker was drifting aimlessly, without direction, and feeling isolated, just like how a cloud floats in the sky without any specific destination.
