Question

choose the poem that uses assonance. beauty will come to them in the rainbow— the sunlight— and the lilac - haunted rain. and the stars never rise, but i feel the bright eyes of the beautiful annabel lee; and so, all the night - tide, i lie down by the side of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride. from david rosenthal, trees need not walk the earth and from edgar allan poe, annabel lee

Explanation:

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in non - rhyming words. In the first poem, the long "e" sound in "beauty", "come", "sunlight", "lilac - haunted" is an example of assonance. In the second poem, the long "i" sound in "bright", "eyes", "night - tide", "life" is an example of assonance.

Answer:

Both poems use assonance.
