What are the alliteration, assonance,imagery, metaphors, and allusions used in the poem of Edgar Allan Poe in "Annabel Lee"?

Some examples ofin the
poem include: 

  • "A wind blew out of a cloud by night"
    (line 15). This might be considered both a visual image (the picture of a cloud at night is easy
    to conjure) as well as an auditory image (we might hear the sound of the winda little
    spooky-sounding at nighttime).
  • "the moon never beams without bringing
    me dreams" (line 34). The visual image of moonbeams is present here.

  • "the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes" (line 36). Again, we get a
    visual image of the stars brightly twinkling in the night sky.

Some examples ofinclude:

  • "many and many" (line
    1). The "m" sound is repeated.
  • "love and be loved"
    (line 6). The "l" sound is repeated.
  • "loved with a love that
    was more than love" (line 9).  The "l" sound is again repeated here.

  • "To shut her up, in a sepulchre / In this kingdom by the sea" (lines 19-20).
    The "k" sound in sepulchre and kingdom is
    repeated.
  • "The angels, not half so happy in Heaven" (line 21). 
    The "h" sound is repeated in half,
