Evermore since 1807, when Wordsworth publicized this poem, daffodils have danced and laughed, but there is nothing

inevitable about it. The poem conveys the point of view of a solitary speaker beside a lake. The descriptions of daffodils in poem entails a polarity between the "solitariness" of the speaker and the "sociability" imputed to the crowd of daffodils, gifted as they are in the with the human attributes of joy and the ability to laugh and dance. Wordsworth refers to “wind" further animated the scene assigns vital power to a "breeze". The full swing of Spring described by the poet thus depicts the formation of a colorful scenery. The sight of daffodils by the lake and then the emergence of the Milky Way are everything a romantic poet endures. Thus the cloud establishes a reference to things of cloudy appearance, and on that account a classification that subsequently embraces the visual effects of the daffodils, flecks of light reflected by the lake, and the Milky Way. The verse containing the reference to the Milky Way professes a subsequent addition to the poem's original three verses. Nonetheless, this addition strengthens a comparison constructive in the poem as it initially stood, a contrast rooted in the difference between two modes of consciousness, that of the mind brought to light to the intervention of sensations from the external world, and that of the mind creating its own images in dreams and dreamlike conditions. Consequently the parallel between the daffodils "fluttering in the breeze" and the poet's heart, which "dances with the daffodils".

"Patterns" was initially published in the August, 1915 issue of The Little Review and later included in the volume Men, Women and Ghosts. "Patterns" is polemically the poet's best-known piece, an inspiring picture of woman and loss. Of all of Amy Lowell's poetry, it is the all but repeatedly collated.
 

I walk down the garden paths,
And all the daffodils
Are blowing, and the bright blue squills.
I walk down the patterned garden-paths
In my stiff, brocaded gown.
With my powdered hair and jewelled fan,

As depicted in the above opening verses of the Patterns, there is a similarity of the basic description of the two poems, that the mention of Daffodils. Bu this time it is not by the lakeside, but the garden of Amy’s house.

And I sink on a seat in the shade
Of a lime tree. For my passion
Wars against the stiff brocade.
The daffodils and squills
Flutter in the breeze
As they please.
And I weep;
For the lime-tree is in blossom
And one small flower has dropped upon my bosom.

Here, Lowell has shown the love of nature and the love to be by the side nature has made her cry and further there is the similarity with the Daffodils as the mention of breeze that sweeps them away and creates a motion of and impression of the picture of the garden where she finds solitude. The description of the scenery then follows a pattern of fountain and the water drops that come out of it and touches the gal’s innocence. “And the plopping of the waterdrops,”

Then there is the grief of what would become of the garden when in the summer the daffodils will leave and would be replaced by the roses and other flowers. All the description is rather like a description of a gloomy story and not of a bright garden. But, lest it does depicts and illustrates the pattern formation of a beautifully aligned garden, where the breeze sweeps the daffodils and the squills and the fountain waterdrops makes one feel of whirling in the sky.

The two poems has a lot in common when it comes to the implicit meaning like the world of sorrow that engulfs both poems and the description of daffodils and the pattern of their existence, all creates a beautiful and still a gloomy picture.
