Alliteration
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping... - From Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven"
simile
O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly play'd in tune.
Metaphor
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,
imagery
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And here were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Symbolism
Ah Sun-flower! weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the Sun:
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the travellers journey is done.
