The Brook By Alfred Lord Tennyson

Dear students,
Here is a wonderful explanation of the poem with captivating images.
Do view it.
Given below are also some of the literary devices used by Alfred Lord Tennyson in the poem.
Personification: Here the brook has been personified, that is, it has been given life-like qualities.
It gives you a first person account of its journey towards the "brimming river".
Alliteration: A device, wherein, a consonant sound is repeated to make the poem more rhythmic in nature. For Men may come and men may go but I go on forever. Repetition of the "m" sound.
Onomatopoeia: Sound words used in the poem like "chatter", "bicker"
Refrain of the poem: For ......I go on forever. It reinforces the theme of the poem that men are mortal beings and they die, whereas, the brook is eternal and it goes on for ever.
This too maybe of help.
