the structure of a poem is very important as much as the meaning of the poem so let's talk about the poetic devices the figures of speech first is a simile examples of simile in the poem are silver and blue as the mountain mist flushed like the buds that dream metaphor Direct comparision examples of metaphor are rainbow tinted Circles of light then Bridal laughter and Bridal tear then shining loads personification tranquil brow of a woodland stream brow brow here is like the summit the top but brow can also be the forehead of a stream basically the top of the stream alliteration repetition of consonant sounds example are or Rich with the Hue of her heart's desire her H her next whose hands have cherished whose love has blessed her her anaphora and is repeated in consecutive lines look and cradled Fair Sons on her faithful breast and serves her household in fruitful pride and worships the gods at her husband's side so and example of anaphora here and last is imagery of course the
