Select the correct answer.
Which sound device is emphasized in both of these poetic passages?
By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big- Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the cear and sunny water,
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.
(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "The Song of Hiawatha")
We rest.-A dream has power to poison sleep;
We rise.One wandering thought pollutes the day:
We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away:
(Percy Shelley, "Mutability")
