Which lines in this excerpt from Mary Otis Warren's poem "A Political Reverie" use figurative language?

Elsa213:

Welcome to QuestionCove. ^.^ Give me a few to find the poem and I will be glad to help. :p

Elsa213:

I found a few stanzas containing figurative language. `But here the sweet enchanting vision fled,` `And darken'd clouds flash'd lightnings o'er my head:` This will most likely be considered as `personification.` Personification is an action only a person can do. Personification: The tree knocked on my window.

Elsa213:

That was the poem?

Elsa213:

It's alright. :p I will read it. :3 Give me a few seconds.

Elsa213:

The figurative language in this poem is also `Personification.` :p `When justice holds his sceptre o’er the land,` `And rescues freedom from a tyrant’s hand;` Like I stated in my previous response, personification is a human action. Personification: The wind hit the window.

Elsa213:

Ofc! :D Thank you for joining QuestionCove. ^.^
