Question

I think the two sound devices that are given in the poem are alliteration and repetition. Alliteration is used, noticeably, in the first line. “Full fathom five thy father lies;”. Notice the letter “F” is constant? Alliteration is the repetition of sound of the beginnings of words, and I think the poem really captured that. Repetition is shown, too. Like, for example, “Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell;/Ding-dong./Hark! Now I hear them – Ding-dong bell.”. “Ding-dong” is shown twice.

Can someone tell me what, “Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell;/Ding-dong./Hark! Now I hear them – Ding-dong bell.” means?
