Identify the figurative language used in these stanzas of Amy Lowell's "In Excelsis."
In complete sentences, explain how it is used to convey meaning in the poem.
You—you—
Your shadow is sunlight on a plate of silver;
Your footsteps, the seeding-place of lilies;
Your hands moving, a chime of bells across a windless air.
The movement of your hands is the long, golden running of light from a rising sun;
It is the hopping of birds upon a garden-path.
