Night climbed the horizon like a cake on the prowl; Its breath was the wind that began to howl, The piercing stars were its ravenous eyes, Eclipsing the light to reveal its guide. How does the poet use personification?

The poet uses personification by assigning human attributes or characteristics to the concept of night. Night is personified as a living entity that climbs and prowls, breathes, and has eyes that are ravenous.
