Stanza 1

I believe I could change and live with animals since they are

So serene and restrained,

I stand and give them a very long look.

The poet claims that he stands and watches the animals for hours because he also yearns to coexist with them. He claims that because they are content with whatever they have, unlike humans, they are constantly at peace. They don't constantly feel the need to have more of everything than other people, and they never compare their life to others'. The poet shares their desire to transform into an animal.

I. Assonance: The vowel I is heard prominently in the phrase "I think I could turn and live with animals."

ii. Repetition: "long" has been used more than once.

iii. Personification: The poet personified animals by giving them human traits like calmness and self-absorption.

IV. Alliteration is when the first letter of two or more closely spaced words is repeated. The phrase "look at them long and long" contains the letter "l" twice.

Enjambment: The sentence continues uninterrupted from one line to the next.
