In complete sentences, explain how it is used to convey meaning in the poem.

Your voice is like bells over roofs at dawn
When a bird flies
And the sky changes to a fresher color.
Speak, speak, Beloved.
Say little things
For my ears to catch
And run with them to my heart.

The writer used the figurative language, Hyperbole.Hyperbole is most of the time used as an exaggeration that adds humor to the story.
For example : “Your voice is like bells over roofs at dawn” the writer means that the voice is loud. “Say little things” - the writer means to talk in a slow manner. “For my ears to catch” - the writer means for her to hear and get what it means “And run with them to my heart.” - this way the writer may remember the memories.
