Read the following excerpt from Alfred Noyes's narrative poem "The Highwayman." Which three literary elements do these stanzas contain? The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees
The moon was a ghostly allon tossed upon cloudy seas
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding-
Riding-riding-
The highwayman came riding up to the old indoor
Heda French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,
A cout of the caret velvet, and breaches of brown doe-skin.
They fitted with never a wrinkle. His boots were up to the thigh
And he rode with a jewelled twinde
His pistol butts - wine
His rapier hat wird, under the jeweled sky
Over the cobbles he cattered and cashed in the dark innyard
He tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred
He whisted a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlords black eyed daughter,
Bess, the landlord's daughter
Plating a dark red love-knot into her fong black hair.
