What are the poetic devices in the poem "i wandered lonely as a cloud"?

The force of simile: the poem serves as an introduction to
some simple (and other, not-so-simple) modes of poetic figuration (or “troping”). It
begins with a simile (I was like a cloud) and moves into other kinds of comparisons. He
(Wordsworth) is solitary, but he is also part of a group. In another simile, he makes
the daffodils themselves solitary, or removed. he role of personification: Wordsworth
chooses to humanize (or personify) his daffodils, and we may wonder why. There is a
continual exchange between him and his flowers, as he surveys his position by comparison
with theirs.Grammar and word choice: it is important to examine a poet’s diction and to
ask why he chooses certain words instead of other, almost equivalent ones. What do we
make of “host,” “golden,” “wealth,” “show,” and the lines “A poet could not but be
gay/In such a jocund company”? Importance of repetition and variation: One thing we
notice is that many of the poem’s opening details are repeated, though with variation,
in subsequent stanzas, and we must determine the force of such repetition. Above all, we
notice two special twists in stanza 4: a repetition of all of the previous details and a
shift in tense from the past to the generalized
present.

Wordsworth also includes—and in some cases
repeats—references to the four classical elements: air, earth, fire, water. The words
“dance” or “dancing” appear in all four stanzas. Overall unity: the poem not only
recounts, but also dramatizes, the workings of the human mind (one of Wordsworth’s great
themes) and makes an important statement about the independent, unwilled, and
uncontrollable faculty of memory. It does so, at its climax, with a telling and
delightful use of alliteration and a particular emphasis on a preposition (a part of
speech that Wordsworth used to great advantage), in this case “with,” that links him to
the flowers.
