Answer 2

1. Rhyme scheme :-
some are meet for a maidens wrist,
Silver and blue as the mountain mist,
Some are flushed like the buds that dream
On the tranquil brow of a woodland stream,
Some are aglow with the bloom that cleaves
To the limpid glory of new born leaves
2. Simile :-
Tinkling, luminous, tender, and clear,
Like her bridal laughter and bridal tear
3. Metaphor:-
Rainbow- tinted circle of light
Lustrous tokens of radiant lives
5. Alliteration:-
Some are like fields of sunlit corn,
Meet for bride on her bridal morn,
Some, like the flame of her marriage fire,
Or, rich with the hue of her heart's desire,
Tinkling, luminous, tender and clear,
Like her bridal laughter and bridal tear
