Identify an example of personification used in the “Solitude by Ella Wheeler Wilcox” poem

1 answer

One example of personification used in the poem "Solitude" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox is:

"And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away."

In this example, the poet personifies the "cares" by suggesting that they can fold their tents and silently steal away, as if they were living beings with the ability to perform these actions.
