In the third stanza, the daffodils are taken into comparison with the waves, which in my opinion reflect the poet's biasedness and personal pleasure of watching the daffodils 'dance'. The way the daffodils are portrayed in the stanza seems to be a reflection of how he was feeling at that moment when he describes them outdoing the waves 'in glee', and was translated to the poet's feeling of being 'gay' when he was around them. The poet's mood has gradually changed from being lonely to feeling the warmth of the scene. The term 'sparkling' which is used to describe the waves set the scene to be warm, light-hearted and joyous which is later supported in the following line with the diction 'jocund'. The poet's diction further enhances the warmth of the scene when the poet exemplifies his intrinsic feeling of joy that he has experienced at that particular moment to be 'golden' which embodies the satisfaction and eventually, an intangible 'wealth' which he has acquired.
