SOUND DEVICES

Sound devices help a lot in adding flavor to literary compositions, especially in poems.

1. Rhyming Words
a. Rhyming words add beauty to a poem.

Forward, the light Brigade!


Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered
Theirs not to make reply
Theirs not to reason why
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the Valley of Death
Road the six hundred.

- From “The Charge of the light Brigade”


by Alfred Lord Tennyson

b. It also adds rhythm to the lines of the poem.

It was many and many a year ago


In a kingdom by the sea.
…
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
…
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side,
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride.

- From “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe

2. Alliteration – is the repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the
beginning of words or in stressed syllables.

Example:

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies


I’m not cute or built a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them.
They think I’m telling lies.

- From “Phenomenal Women” by Maya Angelou

3. Assonance – is the repetition of the sound of a vowel or diphthong which are near enough to
each other for the sound to be describable.
Example:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways


I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.

- From “How Do I Love Thee?” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
