Question

Choose the poem that uses assonance.

Awake to Love and Beauty! and sometimes
'Tis well to be bereft of promis'd good,
That we may lift the soul, and contemplate
With lively joy the joys we cannot share.

A necklace in the depth of blue
Of scintillating silvery pearls
Which peering eagerly we view
As gracefully it curves and whirls.

Answer 1

The second poem, "A necklace in the depth of blue," uses assonance. The repeated "i" sound in "scintillating silvery" and "peering eagerly" creates the assonance.

I hope this helps!
