Answer:

simile

Step-by-step explanation:

Simile. Wordsworth uses simile in numerous stanzas to describe how the persona feels towards the sight of the daffodils. The title itself, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, uses simile to describe how the speaker compares himself to a cloud freely wandering atop the valleys and hills.
