Read the excerpt from “Sleep” by Annie Matheson. What figure of speech does the line “Tired roses, passionately sweet” contain? Tired roses, passionately sweet, Are leaning on their cool green leaves, The mignonette about my feet A maze of tangled fragrance weaves, Where dewdrops meet: Kind sleep the weary world bereaves Of noise and heat.

I believe it would be personification, since the roses are being given human qualities.
