Question

choose the poem that uses assonance. do not fear. the garden is yours and it is yours to gather the fruits and every flower of every kind. the warrior bowed his crested head, and tamed his heart of fire, and sued the haughty king to free his long - imprisoned sire; \i bring thee here my fortress keys, i bring my captive train, i pledge thee faith, my liege, my lord!—oh, break my fathers chain!\ from helen hoyt, \the garden\ and from felicia dorothea hemens, \bernardo del carpio\

Explanation:

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within non - rhyming words. In the second poem, "The warrior bowed his crested head, and tamed his heart of fire", the long 'e' sound in "crested", "tamed", and "heart" is an example of assonance. The first poem does not have such vowel - sound repetitions.

Answer:

The second poem: "The warrior bowed his crested head, and tamed his heart of fire, And sued the haughty king to free his long - imprisoned sire; 'I bring thee here my fortress keys, I bring my captive train, I pledge thee faith, my liege, my lord!—oh, break my father's chain!'"
