Which part of this excerpt from John Keats' poem "Endymion" contains a simile?

Therefore, 'tis with full happiness that I

Will trace the story of Endymion.

The very music of the name has gone

Into my being, and each pleasant scene

Is growing fresh before me as the green

Of our own vallies: so I will begin

Now while I cannot hear the city's din;

Now while the early budders are just new,

And run in mazes of the youngest hue

About old forests; while the willow trails

Its delicate amber; and the dairy pails

Bring home increase of milk.

And, as the year

Grows lush in juicy stalks, I'll smoothly steer

My little boat, for many quiet hours,

With streams that deepen freshly into bowers.

    The part of the excerpt from John Keat's poem "Endymion" that contains a similie is below.

    "Into my being, and each pleasant scene

    Is growing fresh before me as the green

    Of our own vallies: so I will begin."

    Explanation:

    A similie is used to compare two things using the words "like" or "as." In this passage, Keat is comparing what is growing inside of him to the green valleys. Both are fresh.

    The only other use of "as" or "like" (to indicate a similie) in this passage of the poem is used in the section below.

    "Its delicate amber; and the dairy pails

    Bring home increase of milk.

    And, as the year

    Grows lush in juicy stalks, I'll smoothly steer"

    However, here as is not used as a similie to compare, but simply as a conjunction to connect clauses in the section.
