What sound devices are in this Poem? :

Deep into that darkness peering,
Long I stood there, wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals
Ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken,
And the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken
Was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo
Murmured back the word, "Lenore!"
Merely this, and nothing more.

The threat of the phrases is increased by the repetition of the letter (d) in both lines.

  • "Deep into that darkness peering"
  • "Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals."

The raven and the blackbird are used as symbols. He points out in his poem that the raven has both imagination and real aspects of death. The last curtain call, the paranormal, and the next life
