Which literary device has the poet used to describe her children?
In Reference to Her Children
by Anne Bradstreet (excerpt)

I had eight birds hatcht in one nest,
Four wingspans were there, and Hens the rest.
I nurst them up with pain and care,
No cost nor labour did I spare
Till at the last they felt their wing,
Mounted the Trees and learned to sing.
Chief of the Brood then took his flight
To Regions far and left me quite.
