How did William Wordsworth organize " I wandered Lonely as a Cloud" for readers?

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.

Answer:

A. He led readers through events in the order they really happened

Step-by-step explanation:

William Wordsworth's "I meandered Lonely as a cloud" manages the obviously basic experience of the verse I with numerous daffodils developing in a lovely scene and outperforming everything in their polish and pulchritude. However this impression has such a profound and serious impact on the onlooker that the last never forgets this uncommon experience when the person in question is "In empty or in thoughtful state of mind"

The poem comprises of 24-line versifying tetrameter stanzas which are additionally sorted out into four sets, with a quatrain hidden the rhyme plan of a substitute rhyme, and a rhyming couplet.
