If you can find three relevent poetic devices in the poem below I will pick you as the best answer. You have to tell me what you found and what number the line is.



On being asked, Whence is the flower?



1.In May, when sea-winds pierced our solitudes,

2.I found the fresh Rhodora in the woods,

3.Spreading its leafless blooms in a damp nook,

4.To please the desert and the sluggish brook.

5.The purple petals, fallen in the pool,

6.Made the black water with their beauty gay;

7.Here might the red-bird come his plumes to cool,

8.And court the flower that cheapens his array.

9.Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why

10.This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,

11.Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing,

12.Then Beauty is its own excuse for being:

13.Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!

14.I never thought to ask, I never knew:

15.But, in my simple ignorance, suppose

16.The self-same Power that brought me there brought you.
