Soldiers shouting martial cries;
Drums are sounding; trumpets braying;
Seas of glittering spears arise.

The cattle, the grass, the bare ash trees,
The chickens from the farmstead, all
Elm-hidden, and the tributaries

Question 5
5. Choose the poem that uses alliteration:
A)
When the cold dawn stood above the house-tops,
Too late I remember the cry
In the nights of a while bird flying
Through the rain-filled sky.

I stirred the fire to the flame.
