Which of the following lines from Alfred Lord Tennyson's "The Brook" demonstrates consonance?

I steal by lawns and grassy plots/I slide by hazel covers;

And sparkle out among the fern/To bicker down a valley.

And here and there a foamy flake/Upon me, as I travel

With many a silver water-break/Above the golden gravel,

Among the listed lines from Alfred Lord Tennyson's "The Brook", the one that demonstrates consonance is: "With many a silver water-break/ Above the golden gravel". Consonance is a device often used in poetry to refer to repetition of sounds produced by consonants within a phrase or a sentence. In this case the consonant sounds "r" and "g" were repeated.
