Use the poem to answer the question.
The snow drifts into hills of white.
The imprints of his lonely 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 too bold.
Reflecting hues of the starless night,
The snow drifts into hills of white.

One stylistic device the poet uses is imagery, specifically with the description of the snow drifting into hills of white and the imprints of someone's lonely plight lying deep beneath the fallen snow. This vivid imagery creates a sense of isolation and loss. Another stylistic device is repetition, with the phrase "The snow drifts into hills of white" appearing at both the beginning and end of the poem.
