Question

What is the refrain , according to the speaker ?

Answer 1

Answer:

A refrain is a poetic device that repeats at a regular interval. It could be a line or a set of lines that is repeated. Refrains can vary in their function, but generally speaking, they exist to create rhythm in a poem or to call specific attention to certain points.

Answer 2

Explanation:

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

I was a child and she was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea,

But we loved with a love that was more than love—

I and my Annabel Lee—

Here the refraining lines are ‘In a kingdom a sea’. It firstly appears in the second line of stanza and then again in the final line of the third stanza. It helps in stressing, drawing the reader’s attention and contributing to its meter and rhythm.
