Are there any examples of assonance in William Wordsworth's poem The Daffodils?

Question

Assonance is "the repitition of vowel sounds" apparently, cant wrap my head around that. The poem is below.

I WANDER'D 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 stretch'd 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 they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be g*y,

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.

Thanks guys.

Answer 1

as�so�nance �� (s-nns) KEY �

NOUN:

Resemblance of sound, especially of the vowel sounds in words, as in: "that dolphin-torn, that gong-tormented sea" (William Butler Yeats).

The repetition of identical or similar vowel sounds, especially in stressed syllables, with changes in the intervening consonants, as in the phrase tilting at windmills.



Rough similarity; approximate agreement.



I would think these would fit that definition of repeating identical or similar vowel sounds

cloud and crowd

breeze and trees

glance and dance

thought and brought

mood and solitude

its all in the same vowel sounds
