I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'ervates and hills,
When all at once I saw a crovd,
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.
The waves beside them danced, but the
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed-and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brough
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:

- "stars that shine" --> alliteration

- "never-ending line" --> hyperbole

- "dances with the daffodils" --> personification

Explanation:

- "stars that shine" --> alliteration since both stars and shine start with the 's' sound

- "never-ending line" --> hyperbole since never ending is an exaggeration

- "dances with the daffodils" --> personification since your heart (from the prev line) dances, hence personifies your heart as a human being that dances, or could also be interpreted as the daffodils dancing with you heart, also showing personification.
