Question

What does William Wordsworth mean by "wealth" in the following bolded line?

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.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in a sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

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.

The time spent walking
The cost of daffodils
The lesson he learned
The long day ahead

Answer 1

wealth means rich and u can be poor but still have a lot of wealth.

Answer 2

Pleasure, or a synonym of it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the author is viewing a more or less beautiful scenery, and that "gazing" by definition is "look[ing] steadily.. with admiration", as well as the quote "...wealth the show to me had brought...". These quotes show that the author takes pleasure in doing what he likes to do, viewing the scenery and enjoying it.
