1. Alliteration: The repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words.
* Example: "Stands still the sun" (Line 6)
2. Assonance: The repetition of vowel sounds within words.
* Example: "Stands still the sun" (Line 6) - the repetition of the short "i" sound
3. Consonance: The repetition of consonant sounds within or at the end of words.
* Example: "Stands still the sun" (Line 6) - the repetition of the "s" sound
* Example: "Were were with the dead" (Line 14) - the repetition of the "w" and "d" sounds
4. Rhyme: The repetition of similar sounds, especially at the end of words.
* Example: The poem is written in a ballad form with an ABAB rhyme scheme throughout.
5. Internal Rhyme: Rhyme within a line of poetry.
* Example: "We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain" (Line 10)
6. Onomatopoeia: Words that imitate the sound they represent.
* Example: This is a bit tricky as the poem is quite symbolic and doesn't have direct onomatopoeic words. However, the slow and measured pace of the poem could be seen as imitating the slow, steady passage of time and death.
7. Repetition: Repeating words, phrases, or sounds for emphasis.
* Example: "Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me" (Line 1)
8. Cacophony: The use of harsh sounds to create a jarring effect.
* Example: There isn't much cacophony in the poem, as the language is quite elegant and controlled. However, the mention of "the Grave**s" in line 13 could be seen as creating a slightly harsher sound.
It's important to note that sound devices in poetry can be subtle and often work together to create a particular effect. Dickinson's use of sound devices in "Because I could not stop for Death" contributes to the poem's haunting and memorable quality.
