I think the

In stanza two, the near rhyme is “And now We roam in Sovereign Woods—/And now We hunt the Doe—”, where the reader is able to detect the long ‘o’ in the two end words. In stanza three, the rhyme is in lines two and four: “…Upon the Valley glow—/It is as a Vesuvian face/Had let it’s pleasure through—”. The ‘oh’ sound

Alliteration: The repetition of identical consonant sounds in the stressed syllables of words relatively near to each other (in the same line or adjacent lines, usually) (Literature: A Portable Anthology). Example: In Fahrenheit 451, Montag states, “It’s fine work. Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday Faulkner, burn’em to ashes. That’s our official slogan.” The repetition sound of “M,” “W,” and “F,” show alliteration (Bradbury 6). Allusion: A reference to a well-known person, place, place

(For further details see Analysing a Metaphor and Symbol). Figures of speech in classical rhetoric were defined as “a form of speech artfully varied from common usage” (Quintilian, Inst. Orat. IX.i.2). The forms of figurative languages are divided

TEXT INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS The purpose of Text Interpretation and Analysis is a literary and linguistic commentary in which the reader explains what the text reveals under close examination. Any literary work is unique. It is created by the author in accordance with his vision and is permeated with his idea of the world. The reader’s interpretation is also highly individual and depends to a great extent on his knowledge and personal experience. That’s why one cannot lay down a fixed “model”
