Which two of these poetic passages use alliteration for effect? the delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing, each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else, the day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly, singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs. (walt whitman, "i hear america singing") it was a spring that never came; but we have lived enough to know that what we never have, remains; it is the things we have that go. (sara teasdale, "wisdom") in a solitude of the sea deep from human vanity, and the pride of life that planned her, stilly couches she. (thomas hardy, "the convergence of the twain")

Explanation:

In the poem "Wisdom" by Sara Teasdale, we can see the utilization of alliteration on account of the reiteration of indistinguishable beginning consonant sounds in the words ''came'' in the main line and ''remains'' in the third line, just as the words ''know'' in the second line and ''go'' in the fourth line.  

In "The Convergence of the Twain" by Thomas Hardy, we can  see the utilization of alliteration on account of the redundancy of indistinguishable beginning consonant sounds in the words ''sea'' in the main line and ''she'' in the fourth line.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
