Question

by E. E. Cummings

Over silent waters
     day descending
          night ascending
floods the gentle glory of the sunset
In a golden greeting
      splendidly to westward
as pale twilight
     trem-
      bles
       into
        Darkness
comes the last light's gracious exhortation
     Lifting up to peace
so when life shall falter
     standing on the shores of the
eternal
   May I behold my sunset
Flooding
   over silent waters

The line from the poem that is an example of alliteration is **A. In a golden greeting**. Alliteration is the repetition of the same initial consonant sounds in a sequence of words, and in this line, the "g" sound in "golden" and "greeting" exemplifies that.
