Question:

Read the following lines and answer the question :

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.

The poet rejuvinates his spirits by _________.

Options:

looking at the waves beside him

recalling the beauty of dancing daffodils

taking a walk besides the sea

drowning into fits of solitude

Correct Answer:

recalling the beauty of dancing daffodils

In the poem, the poet reflects on the lasting impact of the sight of daffodils, which continues to bring him joy and pleasure even when he is in a reflective or solitary mood. The memory of the vibrant and dancing daffodils serves as a source of rejuvenation for the poet, filling his heart with pleasure and causing it to metaphorically "dance with the daffodils."
