Question

5 examples of alliteration in the poem The solitary reaper

Answer 1

The alteration from the poem ‘The Solitary Reaper’ is:

• The silence of the seas

• Saw her singing

• Sings a melancholy strain

• Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow

• Same natural sorrow loss or pain

The poetic repetition of the sound S and P in the device that is used by the poet is called alliteration.
