Question

What does William Wordsworth mean by "dances with the daffodils" in the following bolded lines?

Answer 1

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.) Bolded

He has to go to that field every time he wants to be happy.
The memory of the daffodils can bring him happiness.
Happiness is a state of mind that is never really real.
There is no way to be truly happy without flowers nearby.
