Which sound device is emphasized in both of these poetic passages?
-By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the clear and sunny water,
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.
(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "The Song of Hiawatha")

We rest.—A dream has power to poison sleep;
We rise.—One wandering thought pollutes the day;
We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away:
(Percy Shelley, "Mutability")

Answer:

C. repetition

Explanation:

Both of these poems employ the sound device of repetition. In the first case, the author uses repetition in the case of the words "rose" and "beat." In the second excerpt, the author uses repetition in the case of the phrases "we rest," "we rise" and "we feel." In both poems, the authors use repetition in order to give a particular rhythm to the poems as well as to highlight certain concepts and ideas.
