Personification- personification is used when the poet attributes human-like qualities to nonhuman things. In this poem, the poet personifies “Woe” and calls pain and suffering a “Cavalry”.
Alliteration- alliteration is used when a consonant sound or letter is repeated in a line or stanza. In this poem, the letter /b/ and /p/ are repeated in lines “Brave/ but” and “plumed procession”.
Metaphor- metaphor is used when the poet makes an indirect comparison between two things without using the words “like” and “as”. In the poem the poet compares human emotions like pain and suffering to an army in the line “Cavalry of Woe”.
Enjambment – enjambment is used when a sentence runs over onto the next line in a stanza. In the poem, enjambment occurs in the lines like “but gallanter, i know/ who charge within the bosom” and “whose dying eyes, no Country/ Regards with patriot love-“.
Synecdoche- synecdoche is used when the poet uses a part of a thing to represent the whole. In this poem, the poet uses synecdoche in the line “Uniforms of snow”. Here “Uniforms” represents soldiers. Thus the poet refers to the people as soldiers fighting internal wars.
