*Figures of Speech"
.......Following are examples of figures of speech in the poem. (For definitions of figures of speech, click here.)
*Alliteration*
of hemlock I had drunk (line 2)
dull opiate to the drains (line 3)
Singest of summer (line 10)
deep-delved earth (line 12)
Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth (line 14)
With beaded bubbles winking (line 17)
And with thee fade away into the forest dim (line 20)
Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget (line 21)
breezes blown (line 39)
winding mossy ways (line 40)
Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves; (line 47)
And mid-May's eldest child (line 48)
many a muséd rhyme (line 53)
self-same song (line 65)
sole self (line 72)
*Anaphora*
Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs,
Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies;
Where but to think is to be full of sorrow
And leaden-eyed despairs,
Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes (lines 25-29)
*Apostrophe*
Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! (line 61)
*Assonance*
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk (line 2)
Of beechen green (line 9)
sunburntmirth (line 14)
*Metaphor*
O for a beaker full of the warm South (line 15)
Comparison of the South to a liquid
on the viewless wings of Poesy (line 33)
Comparison of poetry to a bird
*Personification*
Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes (line 29)
Comparison of Beauty to a person
the Queen-Moon is on her throne (line 36)
Comparison of the moon to a person
*Simile*
Forlorn! the very word is like a bell
To toll me back from thee to my sole self! (lines 71-72)
Comparison of the word forlorn to a bell
