hear the loud alarm - bells,

Explanation:

Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely - connected words. "What a tale of terror, now, their turbulence tells" has the repeated 't' sound. Onomatopoeia is when a word imitates a sound, and "shriek" imitates the sound it represents. For the rhyme scheme, the first line "Hear the loud alarm bells" (a), second line "Brazen bells!" (a), third line "What a tale of terror, now, their turbulence tells!" (a), fourth line "In the startled ear of night" (b), fifth line "How they scream out their affright!" (b), so it's aaabb.
