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 –"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," William Wordsworth What is the effect of the repetition of the word gazed in this passage? The repetition suggests that the speaker wants to pick the flowers. The repetition emphasizes how captivating the daffodils are to the poem’s speaker. The repetition draws attention to the speaker’s extreme loneliness.
