The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,

The furrow followed free;

We were the first that ever burst

Into that silent sea.

These are the poetic devices given:

Assonance, consonance, repition internal rhyme

Assonance: "A host, of golden daffodils" Consonance: "The moan of doves in immemorial elms, And murmuring of innumerable bees. " Repetition: "I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody too? " Internal Rhyme: "The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, The furrow followed free; We were the first that ever burst Into that silent sea."

Explanation:

Assonance is the figure of speech that allows the text to exhibit a certain musicality through a harmonic repetition of vowels. Thus creating rhythm, tone and music within a text.

Consonance, in turn, also proposes musicality and rhythm within a text, but unlike assonance, consonance displays the repetition of consonants within a text.

Repetition allows a word, or a group of words, to be repeated several times within a line, verse or paragraph. In addition to allowing the text to gain musicality, it allows that word to gain emphasis and have a strong meaning within the text.

Internal rhyme, in turn, refers to the existence of rhymes within the same line between the words in the middle of the line with the words at the end of the line.

Assonance: two or more words, close to one another repeat the same vowel sound, but start with different consonant sounds. The excerpt will be: "A host, of golden daffodils"

Consonance: repetitive sounds produced by consonants within a sentence or phrase. The excerpt will be: The moan of doves in immemorial elms, And murmuring of innumerable bees.

Repetition: it repeats the same words or phrases a few times to make an idea clearer and more memorable. The excerpt will be: "I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody too? "

Internal Rhyme: metrical lines in which its middle words and its end words rhyme with one another. The excerpt will be: "The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, The furrow followed free; We were the first that ever burst Into that silent sea."
