Label the rhyme scheme of the poem, beginning with a. xxv a heavy heart, beloved, have i borne from year to year until i saw thy face, and sorrow after sorrow took the place of all those natural joys as lightly worn as the stringed pearls, each lifted in its turn by a beating heart at dance-time. hopes apace were changed to long despairs, till god's own grace could scarcely lift above the world forlorn my heavy heart. then thou didst bid me bring and let it drop adown thy calmly great deep being! fast it sinketh, as a thing which its own nature doth precipitate, while thine doth close above it, mediating betwixt the stars and the unaccomplished fate. elizabeth barrett browning

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
