    Wordsworth makes use of several literary devices in ‘Lines Written in Early Spring’. These include but are not limited to alliteration, enjambment, and imagery. The latter is perhaps the most important technique at work in the poem. it can be seen from the first line to the last. The poet taps into a variety of human senses in order to accurately and vividly depict the landscape he’s seeing.

    Alliteration and enjambment are important and common techniques in poetry. The first can be seen through the repetition of the same sound at the beginning of multiple lines. For example, “sweet” and “sad” in lines three and four of the first stanza.

    Enjambment can be seen in the transition between lines one and two of the second stanza as well as lines three and four of the fourth stanza.
