Choose the poem that uses onomatopoeia.The dirty yellow tramsDragged noisily alongWith a clatter of wheels and bellsAnd a humming of wires overhead.The princess sat lone in her maiden bower,The lad blew his horn at the foot of the tower."Why playest thou alway? Be silent, I pray,It fetters my thoughts that would flee far away.

Solution

The poem that uses onomatopoeia is the first one. Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech where words are used that imitate the natural sounds of things. In the first poem, words like "Dragged", "clatter", and "humming" are examples of onomatopoeia because they imitate the sounds that trams make. The second poem does not use onomatopoeia.
