The sentence that best describes one effect of the poet's use of metaphor in this excerpt is "Here the future, fabled bird that has migrated away from America, nests, and breeds, and sings, common as nay sparrow".

The future is being compared with a bird, more specifically with the nay sparrow, the first part of this excerpt doesn't show metaphor it has the use of descriptive writing.
