Answer:

Metaphor; Simile; Alliteration; Personification; Onomatopoeia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metaphor refers to an indirect comparison between two things that are not very alike. Simile is a direct comparison between two ideas using words such as "like" and "as." Alliteration refers to the repetition of initial consonant sounds between words that are close to each other. Personification refers to attributing human qualities to nonhuman entities. Finally, onomatopoeia refers to the formation of a word based on the way the object is meant to sound like. All of these devices are present in this poem.
