The words "ago" and "know" reflect the poetic element of assonance. Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within nearby words. In this case, the long "o" sound in both words creates a sense of harmony and connection between them.
Annabel Lee
by Edgar Allan Poe
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
"Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe
