Answer:
The figure of speech is Simile
Explanation:
A figure of speech that contrasts two disparate things and is frequently preceded by like or as.
Similes are frequently used by writers to bring concrete images, like chocolate boxes, into writing about abstract subjects (like life). In contrast to metaphors, which are frequently more poetic and complex, similes make a straightforward parallel that the reader is more obviously aware of.
The three phases of a person's life : birth, youth, and death are represented in this poem metaphorically. The poet describes the three stages of human life from birth to death while also portraying the tireless weaving of Indian weavers, whose usage of the word "weavers" in the title is appropriate.
The poet uses three different time periods: the early morning when the newborn baby's clothes are being woven, the evening when the queen is getting married, and the late night when the deceased man's shroud is being woven.
The poem's main idea is the lovely analogy that the author makes between the three components of a weaver's workday and the three phases of a person's life.
Iambic tetrameter was used to write the poem. Alliteration, consonance, inversion, metaphor, repetition, and simile are some of the literary devices used in this work to make it more poetic.
