Answer:

Following are examples of figures of speech and other rhetorical devices in "Break, Break, Break":  

Apostrophe (Lines 1 and 2): The narrator addresses the sea.  

Personification and metaphor also occur in Lines 1 and 2, for the poet regards the sea as a human being.  

Alliteration (Line 8): boat on the bay

(Lines 9-12): Stanza 3 uses this figure of speech as follows:

And the stately ships go on

To their haven under the hill;

But O for the touch of a vanished hand,

And the sound of a voice that is still!

Alliteration (Line 15): day that is dead

Repetend: Line 13 repeats Line 1; Line 7 repeats the first two words of Line 5.

Paradox: Touch of a vanished hand (Line 11), sound of a voice that is still (Line 12).
