Read the poem and answer the question
I'm going soldering:
Mad the rhythm runs
With drumming and with trumpeting
And glory of the guns.
I've come home again:
I know that blood is red;
I know how sodden falls the rain
Where flesh lies dead.
The dominant sound device in the second stanza is
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in nearby words. In the second stanza, we see a repetition of the /e/, /əʊ/ and /ɒ/
These repeated vowel sounds create a musical effect, making assonance the dominant sound device. Alliteration, the repetition of initial consonant sounds, is present in the poem but not as dominant in this stanza.
