Answer 2

The figure of speech used in the line 'O moon Give me a basketful of moonlight' is personification.

• Personification is a device in which an inanimate (non-living) thing is portrayed as a person.
• In these lines, the moon has been personified.
• The speaker is talking to the moon as if the moon is a fellow human who can understand the speaker and his emotions.
• Also, the speaker wants the moon to give a basketful of moonlight.
• Only a living being can give someone something. For example, a child can give her friend a candy, or a lady can give a dog something to play with. However, a chair cannot give anything to anyone. Similarly, the stars or the moon cannot give anything to anyone simply because they are not living human beings.
• Therefore, it is right to say that the poet has personified the moon and tried to give it a human touch.

Hence, the literary device used here is personification.
