Figure of Speech: Alliteration

Explanation:

Alliteration is a figure of speech in which the same sound repeats in a group of words or a phrase.

This line is extracted from the poem 'Leisure' written by William Henry Davis.

What is this life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs

And stare as long as sheep or cows.

In 'No time to stand beneath the boughs', the sound /b/ is repeated in the pair of words 'beneath' and 'boughs'. So, the figure of speech we find here is 'Alliteration'.

'We have no time to stand and stare' - /s/

'Streams full of stars, like skies at night' - /s/

are few more lines from this poem that are defined using Alliteration.
