Alliteration, personification, imagery, sibilance.

"She Walks in Beauty" by George Gordon Byron is a poem that is rich in poetic devices. The poem follows an ABABAB rhyme scheme in the first six lines and is written in iambic tetrameter. The poem also uses similes such as "She walks in beauty, like the night" and "And all that's best of dark and bright meet in her aspect and her eyes."

I hope this helps :)
