Question

Use the poem to answer the question.

The snow drifts into heels of white.
The imprints of his lowly plight
Lie deep beneath the fallen snow,
Lost to all but those who know
The truths that spurred this venture forth
From warmer pasts to its present course,
The words the deeds, the thoughts untold
The love that lost to a heart to bold.
Reflecting hues of the starless night,
The snow drifts into hills of white.

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

One stylistic device used in the poem is imagery, specifically with the description of "snow drifts into heels of white" and "The imprints of his lowly plight lie deep beneath the fallen snow." These vivid descriptions create a visual picture for the reader and enhance the emotional depth of the poem. Additionally, the poet utilizes repetition in the line "The snow drifts into heels of white" and in the final line, "The snow drifts into hills of white." This repetition not only emphasizes the central image of snow but also reinforces the cyclical nature of the themes and emotions within the poem.
