...the poet? Give Examples of Each.

The Presence of Love
By: Samuel Taylor Coleridge

And in Life's noisiest hour,
There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee,
The heart's Self-solace and soliloquy.

You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within ;
And to the leading Love-throb in the Heart
Thro' all my Being, thro' my pulses beat ;
You lie in all my many Thoughts, like Light,
Like the fair light of Dawn, or summer Eve
On rippling Stream, or cloud-reflecting Lake.

And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you,
How oft ! I bless the Lot that made me love you.




Thanks so much!!
for ex: "self-solace and soliloquy" -alliteration
lol i gave an example i just have senioritis and i don't wanna do it.. i know what it is it's just aggravating
 
Perhaps you should look up the definitions of alliteration, assonance, and onomatopoeia and learn what they are, then look through the poem to find examples of them. That way you'd learn something about poetry.
