Activity
(5mins)
4.2 Activity What sound device is used in poetry wherein there is repetition of vowel sound with different
(10mins) consonants in a line?

Sample:
 The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain.
 We light fire on the mountain.
 I feel depressed and restless.
 Go and mow the lawn.
 Johnny went here and there and everywhere.
 Men sell the wedding bells.

What are the vowel sounds repeated in the sentences?

How do you call these words? (Alliteration)

4.3 Analysis For instance,

(10mins) “Men sell the wedding bells.”

The same vowel sound of the short vowel “-e-” repeats itself in almost all the words excluding the
definite article. The words do share the same vowel sounds but start with different consonant sounds.

Assonance is primarily used in poetry in order to add rhythm and music, by adding an internal rhyme to
a poem. Let us look at some more examples of assonance from literature.

Example #1

Try to notice the use of assonance in Robert Frosts poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”:

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”

The underlined bold letters in the above extract are vowels that are repeated to create assonance.

4.4 Abstraction

4.5 Application Underline the vowels that are repeated to create assonance.

1. Passage in Carl Sandburg’s Early Moon:

“Poetry is old, ancient, goes back far. It is among the oldest of living things.
So old it is that no man knows how and why the first poems came.”

2. Passage from Dylan Thomas’ famous poem “Do Not Go Gentle into the Good Night”:

“Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight,
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

5. Assessment Create assonance by circling the appropriate word from each line.

That floats on high o‘er vales and hills,

A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze…”
