C.

Parallelism is the repetition of a grammatical form within a sentence.

Within one sentence in this poem, the author repeats prepositional phrases preceded by the conjunction nor and followed by the conjunction for and the pronoun they.

Answer:

C. Parallelism

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelism is a literary device. When we use parallelism, it means that we are making sentences that are generally the same (grammatically speaking). They follow a similar structure or grammatical construction, such as the ones in the excerpt.
