Choose the poem that uses assonance.The warrior bowed his crested head, and tamed his heart of fire,And sued the haughty king to free his long-imprisoned sire;"I bring thee here my fortress keys, I bring my captive train,I pledge thee faith, my liege, my lord!—oh, break my father's chain!"Do not fear.The garden is yoursAnd it is yours to gather the fruitsAnd every flower of every kind.

Solution

The first poem uses assonance. Assonance is a literary device where the vowel sound in two or more words, close to each other in a line of poetry, is repeated. In the first poem, "The warrior bowed his crested head, and tamed his heart of fire," the vowel sound 'ea' in 'head' and 'hea' in 'heart' is repeated. Similarly, in "And sued the haughty king to free his long-imprisoned sire;" the vowel sound 'ee' in 'free' and 'i' in 'his' is repeated. Therefore, the first poem uses assonance.
