The poet uses alliteration and personification to enhance the imagery and emotional depth of the poem. The repetition of the "b" sound in “beaneth,” “bright,” and “blazing” creates a musical quality that captivates the reader, while personification is evident in phrases like “the silken sea began to croon” and “whispering waves that softly sigh,” which imbue the sea and waves with human-like qualities, evoking a sense of intimacy and connection with nature. These devices work together to create a serene and enchanting atmosphere in the poem.
