What are the poetic devices in the poem "The Wind"

Dear student,

Some poetic devices used in the poem 'Wind' are:
- Personification- the wind has been given person-like qualities.
- Anaphora- the first part of the sentences is repeated (Don't)
- Alliteration: 'wind god winnows'
- Repetition: the word 'crumbling' is repeated
- Symbolism: 'weak fires' stand for weak- willed people, 'wind' stands for obstacles and challenges

Regards
