A. repetition (repeated words) B. assonance (repeated vowel sounds) C. onomatopoeia (words that imitate sounds) D. alliteration (repeated beginning sounds) Meeting at Night by Robert Browning The gray sea and the long black land; And the yellow half-moon large and low: And the startled little waves that leap In fiery ringlets from their sleep, As I gain the cove with pushing prow, And quench its speed i' the slushy sand. Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach; Three fields to cross till a farm appears; A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch And blue spurt of a lighted match.
