Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon
the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to
borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost
Lenore-
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name
Lenore-
Nameless here for evermore.
"The Raven,"
Edgar Allan Poe

Which sound device(s) is the words morrow, borrow, and sorrow examples of? Rhyme.

Why does the speaker repeat sorrow?

The speaker repeats sorrow, because the poem is letting off the feeling of an errie, and sad feeling.

The use of rhyme would be:

"Eagrly I wished the morrow; -vainly I had sought to borrow."

There is also the sentence " Ah, distinctivly I remeber it was in the bleak december."

Bleak has mulitple meanings: Cold, empty, and grim.

Even though bleak has different meanings, those three words still make it sound sad, and depressing. <- Mood
