"Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December" (line 7) - The repetition of the "d" sound in "distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December" creates alliteration.
"And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain" (line 13) - The repetition of the "s" sound in "silken sad uncertain" and "rustling of" creates alliteration.
