Question
choose the poem that uses assonance.
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!\
do not fear.
the garden is yours
and it is yours to gather the fruits
and every flower of every kind.
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within words. In the first poem, vowel sounds repeat: e.g., "bowed" (ow), "tamed" (a), "heart" (ar), "fire" (i); "sued" (u), "haughty" (au), "free" (ee), "sire" (i); "keys" (ey), "train" (ai); "faith" (ai), "liege" (ie), "lord" (or), "break" (ea), "chain" (ai). The second poem has less vowel repetition. So the first poem uses assonance.
