Give an example of anaphora from the poem Prayer

1 Answer

  1. Anaphora is a poetic device in which words are repeated at the beginning of successive clauses, phrases, or sentences. The poet uses Anaphora in the poem Prayer. e.g.

    Let me not ever chant the sleep-inducing tales; Let me sing the songs which infuse life into the dead. Let me sing of that which inspires people with love, And causes all bitterness and hatred to vanish. You brought me to bloom with the earliest vernal breeze; Let not the burning heat of summer wither me grey.

    The word “Let” has been repeated several times in the poem.
