“My Mary’s asleep by the murmuring stream.” This line of poetry contains which literary device?

This question is missing the answer choices. I looked it up online, but was unable to find the complete question. I will provide an answer that is most likely a helpful one, taking the question into consideration.

This line of poetry contains personification.

Explanation:

The line of poetry we are analyzing here belongs to "Afton Water" by Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-1796). The poem describes the River Afton in Ayshire.

Personification is a literary device in which human qualities or behaviors are attributed to objects. In the line from the poem, Burns mentions the "murmuring stream". However, streams and rivers cannot murmur. That is an ability only human beings possess. That means the author is using personification, probably with the intention of describing the sound of the river in a more elegant, lyrical manner.
