Who has seen the wind by Christina Rosetti
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.
Stylistic devices:
1. Personification
2. Repetition
Notes:
1. Personification is used in this poem to give human-like qualities to the wind, making it feel more relatable and understandable to the reader.
2. Repetition of the question "Who has seen the wind?" creates a sense of wonder and contemplation, emphasizing the mysterious and unseen nature of the wind. It also helps to reinforce the central theme of the poem.
