So basically this line just suggests that a poet is thinking and singing.
An allusion is very subtle and hard to define.
An analogy is a comparison between one thing and another.
so you think its analogy? @KyanTheDoodle
Not exactly. It might be an analogy, but it could also be an allusion. All I know is that it's not an oxymoron or foreshadow.
