    2. MANSI VERMA
      Best Answer

      This poem has a myriad of poetic devices, some of which are as follows:

      1. Anaphora: The phrase ‘I love thee’ can be seen to be repeated at the beginning of the lines of the poem.
      2. Apostrophe: The persona directly addresses their beloved, as can be seen from the usage of the word ‘thee’.
      3. Hyperbole: The love the persona has for their beloved has been exaggerated. Examples would be ‘I love thee to the depth and breadth and height/My soul can reach’, and ‘I shall but love thee better after death’.
