The poetic devices used in the poem is very effective. Throughout the poem one line flows easily to the next line which indicates Wordsworth's fine usage of rhyme schemes. The rhyme formation used in the first and the last stanza is identical. Similarly, the second and third stanzas have corresponding schemes. The poems beginning is inviting, and quickly grasped the reader's intention. The tone in this poem is very happy and fulfilling.
To be in particular the figures of speech used in the poem are:
1. Assonance : This is when two or more words used in proximity repeat vowel sounds. eg: O listen! for the vale profound
is overflowing with the sound
2. Hyperbole : This figure of speech involves exaggeration for the purpose of emphasis. eg: Breaking the silence of the seas, Among the farthest Hebrides.
3. Metaphor: This involves a comparison between two contradictory elements. In the poem, Wordsworth compares the girl's singing to that of the nightangle and the cuckoo bird.
4. Apostrophe : This is when the author addresses an imaginary character or a character who is not present in the story.
Behold her, single in the field,
Yon solitary highland lass.
Here the poet is addressing the reader and drawing the reader's attention to the beauty of the Highland's girl's singing
5. Imagery : It is aa figurative language used to appeal to our senses. For example,
No Nightangle did ever chaunt
More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travellers in some shady haunt,
Among Arabian sands.
above, the poet describes the ministering nature of the girl's voice. Her singing is so beautiful that it can refresh the spirits of tired travellers in a desert setting.
Hope it helps.
