What poetic sound effect is used in this line?

Question

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

What poetic sound effect is used in this line?

Answer 1

Hi there!

This would be an example of Assonance. This is where vowel sounds are repeated but the first consonant sound does not have to be similar.

In that specific line you see the repeated long "i" sound in night, tide, lie, and side.

Hope that helps!
