With paws of silver sleeps the dog which figure of speech it is with explanation
Answers
Answer:
Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
A moveless fish in the water gleams
By silver reeds in a silver stream

Please mark me brainliest
It is an Hyperbole.
"With paws of silver sleeps the dog".
A hyperbole is a figure of speech used in poetic context. It is not to be taken literally and is generally used as an exaggeration and false claim to add a certain flair for dramatic effect.
As the sleeping dog cannot literally have paws of silver it is an hyperbole.
This statement can also be an Alliteration.
As the similar sounds of the consonant 's' has been used repeatedly in a short span of time.
