Similes – It is a figure of speech which directly compares two things. It can use words such as 'like', 'as', 'than' etc. to convey the comparison.
Use of similes in the poem:
We bear her along like a pearl on a string - Movement of a pearl on a string.
She falls like a tear - Dripping movement of the tear.
She springs like a beam - Quick movement of the ray of light.
She hangs like a star - Movement of a star that twinkles in the sky.
She sways like a flower - Swaying of a lovely flower in the wind.
She skims like a bird - Gliding movement of the bird flying over a stream.
She floats like laugh - Floating like a sweet smile on the lips of a dreamer.
Alliteration – Repetition of a particular sound in the prominent lifts of a series of words. It is mainly used in poems.
Use of alliteration in the poem:
She – sways
She – skims
Like – laugh – lips

Gaily O’ Gaily
Light O’ light
Softly O’ softly
