    The poem is rich in similes and personification. Examples of alliteration are:' stand and stare', 'beneath the boughs', 'when woods we pass','Streams full of stars like skies'..The similles are:And stare as long as sheep or cows',' like skies at night'( any comparison with the use of 'as' or 'like' is a simille). In the last few lines Beauty has been personified as a woman __
     
    'No time to turn at Beauty's glance
    And watch her feet, how they can dance.
    No time to wait till her mouth can
    Enrich that smile her eyes began'
