Answer:

The poetic devices used in the poem 'A Legend Of The Northland' by Phoebe Cary are as follows :

1. Repetition

According to Wikipedia, 'Repetition is the simple repeating of a word, within a short space of words (including in a poem), with no particular placement of the words to secure emphasis.'

Some examples of repetition from the poem are :

a) “Away, away in the Northland,"

b) "And rolled and rolled it flat;"

c) "By boring, and boring, and boring,"

d) "Boring and boring for food."

2. Alliteration

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'alliteration' as 'the use, especially in poetry, of the same sound or sounds, especially consonants, at the beginning of several words that are close together.'

Some examples of alliteration from the poem are :

a) funny, furry - ‘f’ sound is repeating  in the line "In their funny, furry clothes: "

b) still, smaller - ‘s’ sound is repeating  in the line "And still a smaller one;"

3. Enjambment

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines 'enjambment' as 'the running over of a sentence from one verse or couplet into another so that closely related words fall in different lines.'

Some examples of enjambment in the poem are :

a) "And the nights are so long in winter

That they cannot sleep them through;"

b) "Then she took a tiny scrap of dough,

And rolled and rolled it flat;

And baked it thin as a wafer —"

4. Simile

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'simile' as '(the use of) an expression comparing one thing with another, always including the words "as" or "like."'

Some examples of simile in the poem are :

a) "And the children look like bear’s cubs "

Black as a coal in the flame."
