In this excerpt from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth, which pair of lines contains examples of metaphor?

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 sprightly dance.

metaphor is in the lines -
"when all at once I saw a crowd a host of golden daffodils. "
here an indirect comparison is made between the daffodils and people
it's also a personification
