Alliteration and assonance

    Dear Abdullah, Please pick out lines from the poem for alliteration and assonance and write them down.
    An excerpt from the poem “The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe
    Leaping higher, higher, higher,
    With a desperate desire,
    And a resolute endeavour
    Now — now to sit or never,
    By the side of the pale-faced moon.
    Oh, the bells, bells, bells!
    What a tale their terror tells
    Of Despair!
    How they clang, and clash, and roar!
    What a horror they outpour
    On the bosom of the palpitating air!
