The following lines represent the speaker's feelings toward the daffodils, with an emphasis on the word "gay;"

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company

 The poet is saying that, as he watches the multitudes of bright golden daffodils seemingly dancing in the spring breeze as the waves of the lake sparkle behind them, he cannot help but feel "gay," which, at the time the poem was written, meant happy or lighthearted. Seeing the waving daffodils makes him feel joyful.

He is having the kind of moment of joy and bliss we all sometimes experience when we suddenly are struck by the incredible beauty of a simple scene, such as the sight of daffodils blowing in the wind.
