the poem is
the tide rises, the tide falls,
the twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
along the sea-sands damp and brown
the traveller hastens toward the town,
and the tide rises, the tide falls.

darkness settles on roofs and walls,
but the sea, the sea in darkness calls;
the little waves, with their soft, white hands,
efface the footprints in the sands,
and the tide rises, the tide falls.

the morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
the day returns, but nevermore
returns the traveller to the shore,
and the tide rises, the tide falls

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
