Question

Now read the poem.
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.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass,
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare. find the poetic devices in this poem​

Answer 2

Answer:

The poetic devices used in the poem are given below.

Explanation:

• Firstly, the poem uses rhyming couplets and is composed of seven such couplets. The rhyme is present at the end of each line in the couplet.
• The poem uses the line "We have no time to stand and stare" as a refrain and it repeats in the second line as well as the last line of the poem.
• Repetition is used with the phrase "No time to" which is used in every couplet to convey a sense of urgency.
• Lastly, the simile is used to make comparisons such as "like skies at night" and "as sheep and cows".
