Explanation:

Personification is a figure of speech in which an author gives a non-human thing - an object, an idea, an animal - attributes or features of a human. In the lines we are studying here, there is personification when it is said that joy sings and sends its glad voice. Joy is a feeling, not a person; it doesn't really have a voice, nor can it sing. But, when the speaker uses such personification, he says that, when we feel joy, when joy is found, it can last for a very long time. Personification helped the speaker say that in a more beautiful, poetic manner.
