Identify the sound devices that the bold words represent.

And this was the reason that, long ago,

In this kingdom by the sea,

A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling

My beautiful Annabel Lee;

So that her highborn kinsmen came

And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kingdom by the sea.

What sound device do sea, Lee, me, and sea represent?

Rodney Horn · Answer 2

Sea, Lee, me, and Sea are represented by rhyme scheme since the ending sounds are all the same.

Other sound devices are alliteration (where the beginning sounds are the same) and rhythm where the words take on almost a muscial quality.
