Question

choose the poem that uses alliteration. so mirrored in thy heart are all desires, eternal longings, youths inheritance, all hopes that token immortality, all griefs whereto immortal grief aspires. now silent, now singing and swaying and swinging, like blossoms that bend to the breezes or showers, now wantonly winding, they flash, now they falter, and, lingering, languish in radiant choir. from archibald macleish, \imagery\ and from sarojini naidu, \indian dan

Explanation:

Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound or letter at the beginning of adjacent or closely - connected words. In the second poem, we see repetitions like "Now", "singing and swaying and swinging", "wantonly winding", "flash, falter", "lingering, languish". In the first poem, there is no such prominent repetition of initial sounds.

Answer:

The second poem: "Now silent, now singing and swaying and swinging, like blossoms that bend to the breezes or showers, Now wantonly winding, they flash, now they falter, and, lingering, languish in radiant choir."
