The words "ago" and "know" reflect the poetic element of assonance. Assonance occurs when there is a repetition of vowel sounds within nearby words. In this case, the 'o' sound is repeated in both words.

In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
